American indie-pop singer-songwriter Bella Kay has taken TikTok by storm with her prophetic, gut-wrenching lyrics that cut deep and vocal performances that are consistently honest.
After gaining widespread attention in 2025 with her debut single, "The Sick," her momentum hasn't slowed. With each new release, Kay continues to deliver songs so painfully relatable, it's as if she's read the diary you swore no one else would ever see.
Wearing her heart on her sleeve is nothing new, but her new video for “i deserve better.” is and serves as a visual wakeup call for anyone whose done settling for crumbs in a relationship.
The track closes her debut album, My Reckless Abandon, and serves as a powerful statement piece. The period in the title underscores her firm stance on no longer accepting less than she deserves.
The music video for “i deserve better.” serves as Kay’s visual testament to realizing her own worth and embracing the truth that she deserves better.
Kay is the people's songwriter, particularly for those in their early twenties trying to navigate their place in the world and in their relationships.
She beautifully captures the difficult process of recognizing when you've accepted less than you deserve and finding the courage to demand more, from others and from yourself.
The video shows Kay singing alone as she walks through an underpass, anxiously looking over her shoulder, singing in the rain, and crashing out in an abandoned space.
It's the kind of visual that's minimal and immediately understood, leaving room for the song itself, and the emotions it carries, to take center stage.
Overall, the video is another extension of Kay's artistic world, one that she's very much in control of. It's clear that this is only the beginning for Kay.
