"Better Man" is a song by American country group Little Big Town. It was released on October 20, 2016, as the lead single from the group's eighth studio album, The Breaker (2017). American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift wrote the song, intending to include it on her fourth studio album, Red (2012), but the song did not make the final track list. She passed the song to Little Big Town in 2016, believing the group's vocal harmonies suited it.

Contents

Produced by Jay Joyce, [1] "Better Man" was first performed live at the 50th CMA Awards on November 2, 2016. The song won Song of the Year and was nominated for Single of the Year, and Music Video of the Year at the 2017 CMA Awards. [2] The song won a Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance and was nominated for Best Country Song at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards. [3]

Swift recorded her version of "Better Man", subtitled in parentheses "(Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)", for her 2021 re-recorded album, Red (Taylor's Version) , which she co-produced with Aaron Dessner.

Background

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is the sole writer of "Better Man", which was written for her 2012 album Red but not included on the final tracklist. She would later record her rendition of the song for her re-recording of the album. 191125 Taylor Swift at the 2019 American Music Awards.png
American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift is the sole writer of "Better Man", which was written for her 2012 album Red but not included on the final tracklist. She would later record her rendition of the song for her re-recording of the album.

The song was written by Taylor Swift. According to group member Karen Fairchild, Swift thought of the group because of the harmonies, and sent the song to them. [4] [5] According to Swift, the song was originally intended for her fourth studio album Red (2012). [6] An unnamed source from Us Weekly reported that she sent it to the group in July 2016. [7]

"Better Man" has a play length of 4 minutes and 21 seconds. The song is in a slow tempo of 72 beats per minute, written with a 4/4 time signature. It is in the key of F major, with a chord pattern of F-C-B♭-B♭2-B♭. Karen Fairchild's lead vocal spans from F3 to B♭4. [8]

Swift revealed in August 2021 that she would be recording her rendition of "Better Man" for the 2021 re-recording of Red. [9] With it comes a 36-second longer recording and a downward transposition to E major. With the same tempo and time signature, Swift's vocals range E3 to A4.

Music video

An accompanying music video was directed by Becky Fluke and Reid Long and premiered on November 1, 2016. [10] Set in a rural household, the video depicts three generations of single parents whose partners ultimately leave them. [11] The cycle is presumably broken at the end, when Philip Sweet's character has a baby girl and makes an effort to be a better role model. [11]

Critical reception

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe rated the song "A", saying that "It’s a concept that is grounded in so much truth that I’m amazed I’ve never heard it approached this way before" and "The writers do a great job of capturing both why [the song's narrator] stayed so long and why she had to leave, and all of the conflicting feelings that go along with that." [12] Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes also praised the song, saying that "This song isn’t as jarring as some of the quartet’s most recent hits. In fact, the mistreatment of women is only vaguely alluded to — there’s no one line that burns the hair off the back of your neck. Jay Joyce’s arrangement is soft but not stark. It’s among his more mainstream productions. Still, it’s clear Fairchild’s protagonist is reeling from a love that went very, very wrong." [13] Taste of Country ranked it the 42nd best country song of the 2010s. [14]
