“I wasn’t happy with how the vocals sounded or how the recordings came out,” Wonho explained via Zoom from Seoul, candidly discussing the delay. “This was the right time that I feel ready to showcase something to everyone that has been waiting.”
Drawing inspiration from his childhood favorites like NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and M2M, Wonho confidently leans into the late-’90s/early-2000s soundscape—offering fans an uplifting breakup bop brimming with smooth harmonies and radio-ready hooks.
“I loved M2M’s ‘Pretty Boy’ and other songs by *NSYNC,” he said with a grin. “I’m happy that you caught those vibes that I wanted to express.”
Better Than Me is a self-empowerment anthem disguised as a soft retro groove—showcasing Wonho’s vocal range and knack for Western pop crossover appeal. “I’ve always wanted to try this kind of music,” he added. “I’m happy to try it.”
