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). Taylor Swift wrote the song, intending to include it on her fourth studio album, Red (2012), but it did not make the final track list. She pitched the track to Little Big Town in 2016, believing that the group's vocal harmonies suited it. Produced by Jay Joyce, "Better Man" is a country ballad about wishing one's ex-lover were a more deserving man.

Little Big Town first performed the song live at the 50th Annual Country Music Association Awards on November 2, 2016, and included it in the set list of their tours in 2018 and 2024. In the US, the single peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at 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 Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards in 2018.

Swift performed her version of "Better Man" at several concerts in 2017 and 2018. After a 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of her back catalog, Swift recorded a solo version, "Better Man (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)", for her 2021 re-recorded album, Red (Taylor's Version). She and Aaron Dessner produced the track, which charted at number 46 on the Billboard Global 200.
