London-based singer-songwriter and rising pop sensation Casey McQuillen returns with’ Better Than This,’ an uplifting pop-rock anthem inspired by her journey of moving to London and pursuing a music career. Following the success of her critically acclaimed self-love anthem ‘Better,’ Casey showcases another side of her powerhouse songwriting, delivering an inspiring message for anyone embarking on a new beginning.

‘Better Than This’ fuses Casey’s passionate vocals with electrifying guitar riffs and thunderous drums, pouring raw emotion into every lyric. With its empowering message and relatable theme, the track serves as a rallying cry for listeners to take the leap and continue chasing their dreams - no matter how daunting it may seem.

Fans won’t have to wait long to experience ‘Better Than This’ live. After winning over audiences on her sold-out European tour supporting Eurovision winner Loreen this spring, the song is set to reach even greater heights as Casey joins pop icon Anastacia on tour this April and May. Since February 15th, she has captivated crowds and is on track to perform for a staggering quarter-million fans across 53 arena shows. Wrapping up on May 7th, her performances promise to highlight her signature blend of confidence, relatability, and undeniable talent.

Speaking on the single, Casey shared: "Better Than This" was born from a leap of faith — crossing the ocean to chase a lifelong dream in Europe. Over the past few months, I’ve had the surreal experience of performing it live to sold-out arena crowds across the continent, opening for Eurovision winner Loreen and pop legend Anastacia. Every night, this song has been my anthem of hope, resilience, and ambition. As I step into this new chapter, I truly believe "Better Than This" can be the prophecy it was written to be — the moment where the dream finally meets reality.”

On the touring front, Casey has supported incredible acts like James Morrison, Beverley Knight, Marti Pellow, Newton Faulkner, Will Young, Eric Hutchinson, Stephen Kellogg, Kate Voegele, Tyler Hilton, Clark Beckham, David Ryan Harris, and Nick Howard. The songsmith has organically accumulated tens of thousands of followers on social media and millions of views and streams of her music online, largely because her songs are authentic, intimate, and relatable.

Additionally, Casey has performed her anti-bullying concert series at over two hundred middle and high schools for over 50,000 students across the US, the UK, and Ireland. The ‘You Matter’ Tour was recognised by the UN Foundation and was recently featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Casey’s debut album, ‘Skinny’, which includes the hit single ‘In & Out’, a duet with Jon McLaughlin, found its way into several major playlists, being spotlighted by the likes of Apple Music and Amazon Music.
