The deeply personal song was crafted by an all-star writing team including Wallen himself, Michael Hardy, Chase McGill, Blake Pendergrass, Ernest Smith, Charlie Handsome, and Joe Reeves.

The song’s potential for sync deals in upcoming film and television projects could provide substantial additional revenue for the artist beyond traditional streaming royalties.
“I Got Better” has benefited from extensive exposure during Wallen’s ongoing “I’m The Problem” stadium tour, which spans 10 cities and 19 dates throughout late 2025. Recent performances at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton and Rogers Centre in Toronto, with supporting acts Ella Langley and Zach John King, have likely contributed to the song’s sustained chart success. As the tour concludes, fans have one final opportunity to experience the hit song live during the two final shows in Edmonton, AB.

The tour has been a significant element in the artist’s promotional strategy, with only 3 remaining stops left before its conclusion.
Critics have praised the track for its emotional depth and introspective lyrics, noting how it effectively blends traditional country themes with contemporary production elements. Available on streaming platforms through Big Loud Records via Mercury Records, the approximately 3-minute-25-second track continues Wallen’s impressive streak of chart successes in 2025, further cementing his position as one of country music’s most influential contemporary artists.
