Gregory Dillon, who’s gaining popularity across many streaming platforms and social media, released this track in March 2020.

You’ll notice right away—it’s fast-paced and very upbeat.

The rhythm and groove have a drum’n’bass-like feel that’s really satisfying.

It carries a vibe that seems to nod to 2000s classics like The Killers and Coldplay, while being exquisitely blended with post-EDM modern dance music.

Lauv – I Like Me Better [Official Video]
I Like Me BetterLauv

This is a 2017 release by Lauv, who is based in Los Angeles, and it really conjures up images of New York City, where the story is set.

It’s a hit song that has surpassed 500 million streams worldwide.

While it’s a sweet love song, instead of directly expressing feelings to the other person, it sings of love through the self as they are when spending time with that person—an honest confession that he loves who he is when he’s with the woman he adores.

The lyrics convey a gently warming sense of love.
