Mike Williams and Oaks Unite on Honest and Emotional New Single “Better Now.” Out Now on Be Yourself Music

International DJ and producer Mike Williams teams up with Oaks on their brand-new single “Better Now“, an emotional, energetic, and deeply honest record set for release on January 30, 2026 via Be Yourself Music. Born during an inspired writing session in Stockholm with Oaks and songwriter Max Adrian, “Better Now” captures a rare creative moment where everything aligned. From the very first idea, the track carried a personal weight, blending heartfelt songwriting with uplifting energy and Mike Williams’ signature melodic sound. Fans may already recognize “Better Now” from Mike Williams’ live sets, including his sold-out ADE event “Storylines,” where early teases sparked strong reactions across clubs, festivals, and social media. The final release delivers on that anticipation, balancing emotional depth with festival-ready drive.

This track was born during one of the best writing sessions I’ve ever had. Everything just clicked – the energy, the conversations, the songwriting. We’ve made a lot of music together, but this one felt different from the start. I’ve teased it in my sets for a long time, and people went absolutely crazy every time, both live and online. That’s why this track means so much to me.” – Mike Williams

Better Now‘ was written with Mike during a time when everything felt emotionally heavy for me. We let the song sit in the discomfort – the weight of loving someone you can’t fix and the quiet strength it takes to finally walk away. Performing it acoustically at ADE was a truly special moment, and I’m so happy to finally share this one with the world.” – Oaks
