Body Better

"Body Better" is the fourth track and lead single to Maisie Peters' sophomore album, "The Good Witch". It was released on January 27, 2023.

## Background

Maisie began teasing this song on January 1, 2023 by sharing 3 posts on social media that, when put together, spell out "I was good to you," a lyric from the song. A few days later, on January 5, 2023 Maisie officially announced the song.

Maisie tells Glamour magazine that "Body Better" is about insecurity and vulnerability after a breakup.

> Everything I felt insecure about, all the reasons I could imagine that he had decided he didn’t want me, I now had a perfect example of someone who I could tell myself was the opposite.
>
>

In the same interview, she goes on to talk about her vulnerability

> I wrote this song about vulnerability and how it stings when it’s used against you – about my relationship with my body.
>

11 days later, on February 7, 2023, Maisie released the music video.

## Lyrics

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

I was good to you

Could lay my head upon your chest

And hear I was good for you

Got your heartbeat at its best

You were it for me

Did I just not do it for you, superficially?

'Cause you were it for me

'Cause it was nothing I did and nothing I said

And I know I gave you all of myself, one hundred percent

Now I'm watching you moving on in the beat of a drum

So, if I never gave you any reason to run

Then I, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body

Has she got a body better than mine?

And I, I can't help thinking, when you touched it, were you sorry?

Were you sorry like you weren't at the time?

Loving you was easy, that's why it hurts now

The worst way to love somebody is to

Watch them love somebody else and it work out

Now, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body

Has she got a body better than mine?

Do you love her?

When you're twisting up all her sheets, do you suffer?

Do I sit there and watch you sleep?

If you love her

Was I just an idea you liked?

A convenient use of time

With obedient blue eyes

You took what you took and you left what you left

And I don't know how I still can't make it make any sense

Now I, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body

Has she got a body better than mine?

And I, I can't help thinking, when you touched it, were you sorry?

Were you sorry like you weren't at the time?

Loving you was easy, that's why it hurts now

The worst way to love somebody is to

Watch them love somebody else and it work out

Now, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body

Has she got a body better than mine?

All the hows and the whens and whys

I thought it would be us for life

Was I wrong and is she so right?

Is her body better than mine?

All the clothes and the warning signs

How's it feel to have made me cry?

Will you tell me just one more lie?

Is her body better than mine? (Mine)

I can't help thinking that she's got a better body

Has she got a body better than mine?

I can't help thinking, when you touched it, were you sorry?

Were you sorry like you weren't at the time?

Loving you was easy, that's why it hurts now

The worst way to love somebody is to

Watch them love somebody else and it work out

Now, I can't help thinking that she's got a better body

Has she got a body better than mine?

Ooh-ooh
