"Better" is a song about a heartbroken woman who has experienced a loss in her life, which leads her to consume alcohol and seek affection from others as a way to help forget her troubles, because "[she] just want[s] to feel better."

Rose described it by saying that "the song tells a story of someone who resorts to things they might not be necessarily proud of, but that's how they're temporarily alleviating their guilt or their sadness.

A little more detail about the failed romance or some mention of what went wrong might fill in some of the spaces and allow Rose to deliver a more inspired performance.

Rose is then shown performing the song from various places in a dimly-lit house and an empty church.

At the bridge of the song, she opens the front door of the house to let the light in before appearing outside in the sun, while also being joined by people in the church.
