"Better" was the song Australian musician Mallrat sent out in October 2017 to lead the way to her second EP, In the Sky, and it's the sound of someone sweating the details. She has said the words came easily when she was writing in July 2016, but getting the music to match what she heard in her head took about a year.
The fussing paid off. NME's Thomas Smith heard it as a joyous, youthful banger, it won the Vanda & Young Global Songwriting Competition's prize for Best Unpublished Work in May 2018, and it went gold in Australia in 2019.
