Written on his personal experience with anxiety and panic attacks at a young age, the song is an absolute banger from the singer/songwriter who now has cumulative career streams and counting.
Says Matt: “Around the age of 18, I had my first panic attack and went to the emergency room because I thought I was going to die. It’s an extremely lonely and helpless feeling when our brains turn on us and create the feeling of imminent danger when there really isn’t any there. I hope the song Better Tomorrow song can bring some comfort to those who also struggle with anxiety and mental health, especially during these unprecedented times”.
The video for Better Tomorrow was directed by VMA nominated Mercedes Bryce Morgan and was shot in LA under strict regulation due to COVID 19. With choreographed dancers representing the voices in Matt’s head that play tricks with his mind, the video perfectly illustrates the themes in the song with Matt finally realizing that all is not as it seems in his head.
