Background

Upon release, Plum said: "I wrote 'Better in Blak' about my experiences with people trying to take the colour from the conversation. My colour is an important part of who I am, and over the last couple of years I've had people try and tell me 'it's not about colour' when obviously to me it is."[8]

Reception

Laura English from Music Feeds wrote: "The track is all about the frustrating experiences Plum faces as a Gamilaraay woman and musician", describing it as "an emotional, cathartic song that sees honest lyrics coupled with upbeat, danceable beats".[8]

Music video

The music video was directed by Claudia Sangiorgi Dalimore and released on 28 May 2019.[9] It was nominated for Best Video at the ARIA Music Awards of 2019.[10]
