'Better Man' follows the release of Jamie Mathias's recent 'Love Ourselves' earlier this year. It focused on the damaging effects social media can have on mental health, with all profits from the single donated to the charity Samaritans. The song proved a hit and topped the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart, while it also peaked at No.21 in the iTunes central singles chart.
Jamie's new songs put his songwriting and in-depth lyricism at the forefront as he addresses important issues. They follow from the release of his debut album The Great Escape in 2017, which cracked the Top 40 Album Chart in its first week and reached No.1 on the iTunes Singer / Songwriter Chart.
‘Better Man’ is a very personal song about my own experience growing up as a child around abuse and addiction. It reflects my very strong feelings about not wanting to go down the same path as my father and make the same mistakes. Ultimately I want to be a “Better Man” and when I decide to become a father, I want to provide the best possible life for my future children,' explains Jamie in regards to the new single.
