About the song
There’s something deeply moving about hearing a father and daughter blend their voices together—especially when that father is none other than the legendary Engelbert Humperdinck. In the heartfelt duet “Better”, Engelbert is joined by his daughter, Louise Dorsey, in a performance that is as intimate as it is uplifting. This song marks a rare moment where generations and legacies intertwine, creating a musical experience rooted in both familial love and timeless artistry.
“Better” isn’t just another track in Engelbert’s expansive discography; it’s a personal statement. Originally recorded by Tom Baxter, the song has been reimagined here with a warmth and tenderness that only a father-daughter duo could deliver. Engelbert’s rich, seasoned baritone carries the weight of experience, while Louise’s gentle, emotive vocals offer a soft counterbalance. Together, their harmonies convey a message of hope, healing, and the enduring belief that things can always get better—even in the face of life’s inevitable struggles.
What makes this duet especially compelling is how naturally their voices complement each other. You can sense the years of love and mutual respect between them in every note. While Engelbert brings his signature crooner elegance, Louise introduces a fresh vulnerability that resonates deeply with modern listeners. There’s no showboating here—just sincerity, subtlety, and soul.
Engelbert Humperdinck has always had a gift for conveying emotion through music, whether he’s singing about heartbreak or hope. In “Better”, he lets us into a more private, familial space—one that fans have rarely seen. It’s not just a song, it’s a quiet moment shared between father and daughter, and by extension, with all of us who listen.
For long-time fans of Engelbert, this duet is a touching reminder of the man behind the music. For those just discovering Louise Dorsey, it’s a beautiful introduction to her voice and spirit. Ultimately, “Better” is a song about connection—across generations, through music, and in the hearts of those who believe in brighter days ahead.

Lyrics
Our love has changed
It’s not the same
And the only way to say it
Is say it, it’s better
I can’t concede
This way I feel
For all the time we spent together
Forever just gets better
See what I’m trying to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it’s better
I’ll stand by you
If you stand by me
I think it’s time that I reveal it
Cause I believe it, it’s better
See what I’m trying to say is
You make things better
And no mattеr what the day is
With you here it’s bеtter
Oh the more I talk to you
I fall in love with
Everything you do
Everything you do
See what I’m trying to say is
You make things better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it’s better
See what I’m trying to say is
You make things so much better
And no matter what the day is
With you here it’s better
Our love has changed
It’s not the same
And the only way to say it
Is to say it, it’s better
It’s better
