Written by If you’ve ever stood on the edge of a life-changing decision, Casey McQuillen’s latest single Better Than This might just be the anthem you’ve been waiting for.
The London-based pop-rock rising star returns with a track that feels more like a declaration. From the first electrifying guitar riff to the heartwrenching echo of her soaring vocals, Better Than This pulses with the urgency of someone who’s chosen bravery of comfort and refused to remain in one place.
Written after Casey uprooted her life in the U.S. to chase her dream across the Atlantic, this track captures the emotional turbulence of starting over, with enthralling vocals and a sense of unwavering momentum. It’s a follow-up to her self-love anthem Better, but where Better introduced self-acceptance, Better Than This shouts proudly with belief.
It’s not just the studio version making waves – McQuillen has been performing the track live on her sold-out arena tour across Europe with pop icon Anastacia (following a spring tour with Eurovision winner Loreen). Playing to over a quarter-million fans in massive venues, her voice has proven it belongs on the big stage. And Better Than This is built for it: loud, fearless, and unapologetically hopeful.
In an era of surface-level self-love, Better Than This stands out not just for its powerful sound but for its message. It’s about the wonders of embracing change, and the endless possibilities it could lead to.
