About “YOUR WAY'S BETTER”
Forrest Frank wrote the chorus as a spontaneous prayer while driving home on a difficult day, telling Billboard it was just a prayer that ended up having a melody with it. He left the voice memo untouched for months before finishing the track backstage on his 2024 Child of God tour with Serbian producer and bassist Pera Krstajić, who suggested a somber musical bed over which Frank freestyled the melody. Released in October 2024, the song became the lead single for his album Child of God II and crossed over from church playlists into the mainstream charts.
