Stefanie Michaela’s new single, “Better With Time,” is an empowering anthem for anyone who’s ever felt overlooked, underestimated, or told they were too late. Co-written and performed by Stefanie herself, the track was also written and produced by Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum musician Nash Overstreet—best known as a member of Hot Chelle Rae and for his work with artists like Britney Spears, Meghan Trainor, and Pitbull. Co-writer Cali Rodi (Keith Urban, Daya) adds further lyrical depth. Blending soulful pop with a polished modern edge, “Better With Time” makes one thing clear: Stefanie isn’t just catching up—she’s breaking through.
Produced by Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum musician Nash Overstreet, known for his work with Hot Chelle Rae, Britney Spears, Meghan Trainor, and Pitbull, “Better With Time” combines soulful pop with a modern, polished edge. Co-written with Calli Rodi, whose credits include Keith Urban and Daya, the track delivers not just a musical experience but a message that invites you to break through any barriers you may feel are holding you back.
From the opening line—“Sipping my coffee, doomscrolling”—the song connects instantly with the emotional clutter of modern life, transforming feelings of overwhelm into motivation. The chorus bursts with liberation as Stefanie sings, “Stop telling me act my age / Ain’t nothing but a number anyway… I keep getting better with time.” These words encourage you to embrace your evolution with confidence and to reject any limitations based on age or societal expectations.
Stefanie shares, “I wrote ‘Better With Time’ because I was deeply passionate about following my heart and dreams at this stage in my life. A dream I once thought I’d never return to came back full force—and now, I’m so eager to share it with the world.” This personal declaration invites you to acknowledge that it’s never too late for you to follow your dreams, even if life feels busy with family or other responsibilities.
The song challenges the idea that you must adhere to strict timelines. Instead, it encourages you to make yourself a priority, even if that means just a little time each day to shift your mindset and fuel your energy. “You deserve that joy,” Stefanie adds, reinforcing the importance of self-care and perseverance.
“Better With Time” is the third single leading up to Stefanie Michaela’s debut EP, Turning Pages. Her earlier singles, “Found in You” and “Stay in Your Lane,” produced by Grammy-winner Keith Thomas, already set a high standard with heartfelt lyrics and powerful vocal delivery. This new single, backed by Overstreet’s sleek production and Rodi’s lyrical craftsmanship, strikes a perfect balance between fun and meaningful, making it a track you’ll want to sing along with and share.
