Mike Williams keeps showing us why he's a mainstay in modern EDM. He teams up with Oaks on "Better Now," which feels both emotionally grounded and ready for a festival. The song is out now on Be Yourself Music. It strikes a balance between looking inward and moving forward, reminding us that dance music can still have a heart.
"Better Now" has a steady, uplifting beat and clean production. It doesn't try to overwhelm the listener with too much. Oaks' singing is the emotional heart of this song, honest, restrained, and easy to relate to. The way the lyrics are delivered makes them feel real, not scripted. It's the kind of voice that sticks with you, whether you're alone with headphones on or in a crowd at night.
The accuracy of Mike Williams' work is what makes it stand out. The drop doesn't beg for attention; it gets it. The progression feels natural, letting the mood rise slowly, which fits with the song's theme of growth and emotional clarity. The best parts are when the music builds up slowly and when the melody stays with you even after the song is over. "Better Now" is trying to get a feeling. And that's why it works.
