“Better” is the sixth track on Take Me Apart. Kelela resolves any friction between her & her ex, so they are able to recover and become platonic friends.

“Better” is about the reconciliation with your partner. There’s a way that I think we discard people once we break up with them. There’s times where we’re just not meant to be together and it’s not your fault or my fault (…) There’s a reason why you were in my life in the first place, so we figured out a way to really heal"

This song marks the end of the first relationship explored in the first half of the album.
