"Build It Better" is a song by Australian singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia, released on 18 June 2021 as the lead single from her sixth studio album Firebird .
Natalie said the song is about "surrendering to the chaos and seeing what's on the other side of it is a good life lesson. Letting something fall apart, and being okay with that, is something that I have had to do in my life, numerous times, but especially moving into this record and becoming a mum. So, I'm really excited about that song, and about the video, which is total escapist fun – the world needs that right now." [1]
The music video was released on 18 June 2021. [2] The video brings a touch of La La Land to a petrol station in Aylesford, with Natalie singing about having a positive outlook when things fall apart. [3]
Jackson Langford from Music Feeds called it "one stomper of a bop, with glory-filled acoustic guitar and electrifying piano that helps radiate the same type of optimism Imbruglia sings about." [4] scenestr described the song as "instantly-catchy". [1] Quentin Harrison from Albumism said "'Build It Better' is a gorgeous kickoff to this new project and confirms that changing industry standards and trends aside, Imbruglia is always en vogue." [5]
