Better (single)

**Better (对峙 [duì zhì], *lit. Confrontation*)** is the first Chinese digital single by South Korean artist BoA, featuring the Chinese singer-songwriter Liu Yuxin. The single was released on July 18, 2022.

## Background and release

The single was originally planned to be released in Summer 2021, but it was postponed due to COVID-19 health emergency. For that, both BoA and XIN filmed the music video separately. During the filmation, it was used the Motion Control Camera (MMC) that consists in shoot separately with coordinates, and the final result can merge it together with editing, it creates an identical space with identical data.

The music video concept is a cycle with interlocking. As the title says, occurs the confrontation of two powerful women: XIN the one who can create things, and BoA the one that has the ability to make things disappear.

On July 16, 2022 SM Entertainment (BoA's Official Twitter) posted in all their platforms the announcement of the collaboration between the two artists. They stated:

The music was published online on July 18, 2022 at 12PM KST, and the music video was released later at 6PM KST.

## Lyrics

准备好就像倒着走
凭着感觉退后就别再回头
不要怀疑把自己交给我
太迷人还有些忐忑

Can’t nobody tell you how to do it oh
挑自己的选择
想不想 敢不敢 别沉默
With the thought from my paradigm

黑暗之间深邃沉默 只剩你和我
眼神不断揣测的解读着你的心

别再滥用天真的戏语
逃避你最真实的回应
我知道你只是在伪装
You know what I want

把爱对峙没有借口 准备好就出手
等待无惧灵魂都成熟
别再隐藏心里的火
把爱对峙想对你说
一切只为和你拥有
别消耗我仅存的执着
You better than this
You better than this

你看着我的双眼失去焦距
带点暧昧透明的界线
浑然的野性在分裂
一切危险等待在边际 Yeah

卸下不具名的防备
任凭臆想无法完胜这命运
等待最后一刻揭谜底
谁都无法拒绝 Play the game

这场黑夜别再沉睡
唤醒在梦醒之前
（Give me little kisses tenderness）
（Give little touches handless）

抓不住的是你
遗忘在冷夜里的记忆 I’m in love
（Give me little kisses tenderness）
（I know）

把爱对峙没有借口 准备好就出手
等待无惧灵魂都成熟
别再隐藏心里的火
把爱对峙想对你说
一切只为和你拥有
别消耗我仅存的执着
You better than this
You better than this

You are the one 选择的是我
只想为你实现 所有的幻觉
I am the only one 你理想的我
只有你才能懂我是你唯一的拥有

全都因为你
心动别再犹豫 Good to go
别管现实之间令人太窒息的 Baby
就一点一点释放对我的热烈
就让我开始慢慢走进你世界
Can’t nobody tell you how to do it oh
挑自己的选择
我想已把握完美的抉择
一切 Gotta go
Just a little little little piece

把爱对峙没有借口 准备好就出手
等待无惧灵魂都成熟
别再隐藏心里的火
把爱对峙想对你说
一切只为和你拥有
别消耗我仅存的执着
You better than this
You better than this
