"Better When I Do" is a song recorded by Canadian country artist Aaron Pritchett.[1][2] The track was produced by Scott Cooke,[3] and co-written by Jessi Alexander, Corey Crowder, and Jimmy Yeary.[4] It won "Single of the Year" at the 2019 British Columbia Country Music Awards,[5] and was the second single off Pritchett's extended play Out on the Town.[6]
Pritchett was at a publishing house in Nashville, Tennessee, where he heard approximately 60 songs in 45 minutes — including the future number one "Dive Bar" — and he said "not a thing hit".[7] Upon hearing "Better When I Do", which had been written over six years prior and held then passed on by several artists, Pritchett felt an instant connection and knew he had to record it.[6] He stated he "[tends] to favour a bit more edge and some of those pop tinges".[7]
"Better When I Do" reached a peak of #1 on the Billboard Canada Country chart dated April 6, 2019,[8] marking Pritchett's first chart-topper,[9] 19 years after his debut radio single.[10]
The official music video for "Better When I Do" premiered on November 21, 2018.[11][12]
