Reetoxa - 'You Deserve Better Than Me'

Melbourne artist Reetoxa returns with ‘You Deserve Better Than Me’, an emotionally honest new single that explores the difficult reality of meeting the right person at the wrong time. Following on from 'Love Keeps Burning Still', 'War Killer' and 'Bottle', the track offers a more reflective moment within the artist's ambitious double album 'Soliloquy', pairing heartfelt songwriting with a warm, melodic alternative rock sound.

Inspired by a memorable first date that never developed into a relationship, the song examines the courage it takes to be truthful when genuine chemistry is missing. Throughout, ‘You Deserve Better Than Me’ embraces compassion and emotional maturity, transforming a personal experience into a relatable ballad about honesty, timing and letting go.

Recorded at Melbourne's renowned The Avenue Recording Studio, the track features an accomplished group of Australian musicians, including Peter Marin, James Ryan and Kit Riley, whose intuitive performances helped bring the song to life in just a handful of takes.

Following the growing acclaim surrounding 'Soliloquy' and increasing international interest in the project, Reetoxa continues to build momentum with music rooted in resilience and lived experience. ‘You Deserve Better Than Me’ highlights another side of Jason McKee's songwriting, delivering an intimate and memorable release that balances vulnerability with understated optimism.
