Jesse McCartney’s comeback song in three years. This song is about finding someone who makes their life better when they are with them. The idea behind the song was to “have something that people could escape for a few minutes and just make themselves feel better.”
[Verse 1]
I know it's ugly turning on the news
There's people fighting over point of view
Sometimes it's like there's nothing left to lose
And I don't know what to do
But I know it's better with you
[Chorus]
I was a wreck when you came along
When there was nothing left
You showed me the best
I'm still a mess but you hold on
Don't know just why you do
But I know I'm better with you
But I know I'm better with you
But I know I'm better with you
But I know I'm better with you
[Verse 2]
For every life there is a silent cry
For every day there is a darker night
Sometimes this life doesn't treat us right
And I don't know what to do
But I know it's better with you
[Chorus]
I was a wreck when you came along
When there was nothing left
You showed me the best
I'm still a mess but you hold on
Don't know just why you do
But I know I'm better with you
But I know I'm better with you
But I know I'm better with you
[Bridge]
Wherever you are, it's never as dark
Whenever I start slipping, you make all the difference
Been there from the start, no matter how hard
Whatever piece is missing, you know how to fix it
[Chorus]
I was a wreck when you came along
When there was nothing left
You showed me the best
I'm still a mess but you hold on
Don't know just why you do
But I know I'm better with you
But I know I'm better with you
But I know I'm better with you

[The song] has this sense of hope at a time where everything seems pretty turbulent both politically and socially, and everyone seems like they’re just really at each other’s throats. We wanted to write something that made people feel good.”

There’s just a good energy behind it – I think more so than even the last record. In the first week I can feel that difference … Never before have I seen a song like this take hold with [fans]. There’s something very real about this time, this go around.”
