Composition & release

"Better in the Morning" has been described as "sleek pop" and "hip-hop inspired."[1] It samples "Genius of Love" by The Tom Tom Club.[2] The song was released as an audio video on 6 May 2014, to accompany Little Boots' announcement of her new album.[3][4][5][6] A CD single of the song was also made available.[7]

Music video

A music video was released on 4 June 2015 to promote the song. It features Little Boots in front of various pastel-colored backdrops, getting ready for work.[8]

Critical reception

The song received generally positive reviews upon its release. Spin called the song "sunny" and "spectacularly hooky," and noted the song's catchiness.[6] Billboard commented that "Little Boots may have finally found a producer that can magnify her dance-pop sensibilities," going on to praise her coyness but criticize her "deadpan" delivery.[1] Stereogum's Gabriela Tully Claymore felt that the song "rides on the same kind of nostalgic computer-pop production technique that’s propelled PC Music to the forefront over the course of the past year, minus the irony."[4]
