Ingrosso said "'Better Days' is about hope, youthful naivety, and longing for things to get better. It somewhat describes my personality – to always want to see the positive and believe that everything will get better. I’ve been holding on to this song for almost 4 years, but all the upcoming songs very much describe my current state of mind, the pursuit of a happy life well spent. I want to spread love." [1]

Critical reception

Scandipop said "The retro-hued track sees Benjamin lean into his ABBA-laden musical heritage, and it's already sounding like it'll be a future classic amongst his own rich repertoire." [2]
