"Better" is a song from the album Skybound released by Tom Baxter in January 2008. It was subsequently used on the soundtrack for the motion picture Run Fatboy Run.[1] The song is also the second single released by Irish Boyband Boyzone from their greatest hits compilation, Back Again... No Matter What. The single was released on December 8, 2008. Ronan Keating and Stephen Gately are the lead vocalists on the song. The music video was shot in black and white, with each member of the group singing to a woman he is holding with the exception of Stephen Gately, who is shown singing to a man - the first time a Boyzone video has depicted a same-sex love interest. The song marks the last appearance for Gately in a Boyzone video.
