Better Mistakes is Bebe Rexha at her most honest and emotionally exposed.
Stripped of pop armor and industry expectations, the album feels like a late-night confession: raw, unfiltered, and deeply human.
It doesn’t aim for perfection; it embraces imperfection as truth.
Sonically, the album leans into alternative pop, pop-rock, and emotional balladry, with a noticeably less commercial approach than her earlier work. Guitars, muted beats, and restrained production dominate, allowing emotion to take precedence over hooks. The sound feels intimate and intentionally unpolished.
Lyrically, Better Mistakes is its strongest. Bebe explores self-doubt, emotional exhaustion, heartbreak, insecurity, and the pressure of public perception. The writing is direct and vulnerable, often uncomfortable in its honesty. There’s no attempt to soften the edges; pain is presented as lived experience, not narrative device.
What earns Better Mistakes 4.46 stars is its emotional integrity. The album commits fully to its tone and message, creating a cohesive body of work that prioritizes authenticity over trends. It may not chase hits, but it leaves a lasting emotional impact.
Better Mistakes is brave, cathartic, and quietly powerful, a reminder that growth often comes from sitting with discomfort rather than escaping it.
