Coconut Rootz delivers a mid-tempo reggae track called “Better Than This” about letting go of doubt and heartbreak.
The idea is simple and hopeful. The song tells listeners that their best days are still ahead, and that old heartbreaks do not define them. Early write-ups call it an uplifting record about self-improvement, self-love, and emotional freedom. It asks people to value the path they have walked. So the message feels encouraging, not preachy, and it works for anyone starting over.
The sound stays relaxed. Gentle acoustic guitar strums form the foundation, with snappy shakers providing a light bounce. A rolling bassline is going on underneath and soft keyboard chords are filling the space without crowding it. The vocals carry the tune with natural warmth and steady pitch. At two minutes and 59 seconds, the song stays tight and easy to replay.
It sits third on the album, right after “What Makes Us Shine” and just before “Take Me As Iam.” That placement matters. The three songs form an early arc about confidence, belonging, and acceptance. Benson Ainebyona wrote and composed the project, which has passed 850,000 plays on Audiomack, and the whole 17-track set keeps a warm, island-flavoured mood.
Moving on is a theme every listener understands, and reggae has long made room for it. This track adds a modern, easy-going version that fits morning playlists and quiet commutes.
If you need a gentle push to leave something behind, this one is a good companion.
