Better in the Morning is a masterclass in 'business-pop,' a term often associated with Little Boots' Working Girl era. It strips away the maximalist glitter of her debut in favor of a lean, rhythmic aesthetic that draws heavily from 90s house music.

The track is built around a persistent, infectious piano riff and a drum machine beat that feels both clinical and danceable. It is the sound of the 'morning after' rendered in high-definition digital clarity, trading club euphoria for a more grounded, slightly ironic sense of self-awareness.

Moments Worth Listening For
the transition from the sparse, clicking intro into the bouncy, house-inspired piano chords
the way the vocal layers build during the refrain, creating a dizzying, circular effect
the sudden drop to a near-silent beat where the breathy lead vocal carries the melody alone for a few bars
