The song was announced in a handwritten letter by Rena posted to the band’s social media accounts. In her own words:
we have four tracks to release. keep your pants on, folks. the first track is called...
[Intro]
1, 2, 3
[Verse 1]
There may be something in the water
Over here in California's
Got me feeling like I'm better off alone
Maybe it's the way you used me
Watered down my love, abused me
And you'd always criticize me on the phone
[Refrain]
Ooh, ah
[Verse 2]
Would you kill me if I told you
That I never wanna speak to you
'Cause when I'm on my own, I feel alive
And there's nothing wrong with crying
But my empathy is dying
'Cause we never were that good, we'd always fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm better by myself (Self)
I'm better when there's no you in my life
[Chorus]
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
[Verse 3]
Everything you do just wears me down
It's getting old, I'm turned around
It feels like you're just wasting me away
When you choose to terrorize me
Any confidence inside me dies
You suffocate me with the things you say
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm better by myself (Self)
I'm better when there's no you in my life
You're no good for my health (Health)
You're no good for my troubled state of mind
[Chorus]
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
[Bridge]
Woo
Ooh, ah
[Chorus]
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)
I'm better by myself
Better By Myself was written by Casey Moreta & Gabe Simon & Rena Lovelis & Nia Lovelis & Dan Nigro.
Better By Myself was produced by Dan Nigro.
Hey Violet released Better By Myself on Fri Apr 12 2019.
I remember being in the studio with two people, Dan Nigro and Gabe Simon. I remember Gabe started just jamming on a piano that Dan had in his house. Because it was like a home studio and Gabe was just like, he started coming up with these melodies, and I was like oh my God, I felt so inspired. So, I...
Something that was interesting during the songwriting process was I wasn’t doing a lot of self care and that’s what I feel like. I was kind of in a weird head space. Really just not looking out for myself. And I think that’s something that’s really important for not only our fans to know, but for ev...
