Better Man (Little Big Town song)

"Better Man" is a song by the American country music group Little Big Town. It was released on October 20, 2016, as the lead single from the group's eighth studio album, The Breaker (2017). The song was written by Taylor Swift, who initially intended to include it on her fourth studio album, Red (2012), but it did not make the final track listing. In 2016, Swift pitched the song to Little Big Town, believing the group's vocal harmonies suited it. Produced by Jay Joyce, "Better Man" is a country ballad about wishing that an ex-lover had been a more deserving partner.

Little Big Town first performed the song live at the 50th Annual Country Music Association Awards on November 2, 2016, and later included it in the set lists of their 2018 and 2024 tours. In the United States, the single peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one on both the Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts. It won Song of the Year at the 51st Annual Country Music Association Awards in 2017 and received the award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance, as well as a nomination for Best Country Song (for Swift), at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards in 2018.

Swift performed her own version of "Better Man" at several concerts in 2017 and 2018. Following a 2019 dispute over the ownership of her back catalog, she recorded a solo rendition titled "Better Man (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)" for her 2021 re-recorded album, Red (Taylor's Version). The track was produced by Swift and Aaron Dessner and peaked at number 46 on the Billboard Global 200.
