Background

Miller wrote the song with his two close friends, Dan Swinimer and Jeff Johnson, while staying in the mountains of British Columbia on a writing retreat. [5] After a night of drinking, the trio was "a bit slow" and we’re writing a slower ballad, when Miller felt they had to "switch gears. Johnson was playing the guitar and Swinimer sang the lyrics "should have known, should have known, should have known better". Miller had the title "Should've Known Better" on his phone as a potential song name, and the trio to began to devise the idea for the song. [5]

Miller described it as being "about seeing that person at the bar, someone walking over everyone’s heart, and yet, you can't resist". [6] In a press release, he added that the "song tells the story from the perspective of the 'sucker' of a guy who fell in love and got burnt again by this girl and goes on to say that this type of person should come with warning signs, but they never do". [1]

Critical reception

Gabby Shukin of CJVR FM described "Shoulda Known Better" as a "fun, high energy song," that is "perfect for summer". She added that she "loves how Miller doesn't take himself too seriously and shares these life lessons with us thru his music". [7] Nanci Dagg of Canadian Beats Media called the track a "toe-tapping tune that packs a punch to the very last beat". [8]
