As the song progresses, the addition of vocal harmonies elevates it further. These harmonies make the track an essential addition to any playlist, fitting for long drives or quick errands. The song also features a well-crafted guitar solo and a climactic ending where various vocal layers beautifully intertwine. “Could’ve Done You Better” is a must-listen, as recommended by us at UpToHear.
