New Independent Artist Sophie Aston Releases Debut Single ‘Better’
October 31st, 2025
‘Better’, the debut single from new independent artist Sophie Aston, is an unapologetically honest anthem that confronts the impossible beauty standards women are expected to live up to, and the shame that comes from never feeling enough.
Written from three perspectives — a younger self silenced into being small and palatable, an adult voice dripping with sarcasm
and defiance, and a final reckoning with the self — the song moves through inadequacy, anger, apology, and ultimately the longing for self-acceptance. With its raw vulnerability and biting honesty, ‘Better’ speaks to anyone who has ever felt pressured to shrink themselves, and transforms that pain into a powerful step toward liberation.
