"Love You Better" (recorded in Danish and named "Elsker dig mer" in 2018) is a song by Danish singer-songwriter Oh Land for her third studio album, Wish Bone (2013). It was released digitally, along with the rest of the parent album, on 16 September 2013 by Tusk or Tooth Records and A:larm Music. It was written and produced by Oh Land, with David Poe serving as an additional songwriter. An acoustic and folk ballad, "Love You Better" is about learning to love your companion more as you age. The song received generally favourable reviews from music critics who described it as romantic and stark.
Danish filmmaker Kristian Levring filmed and produced a music video for the song after Oh Land expressed interest in collaborating with him. Leth was able to select any song by Oh Land for the clip and he chose "Love You Better". The visual features Oh Land aging in reverse, achieved by the singer wearing tracking devices. Following the release of the video on 21 October 2016, it entered Billboard's Denmark Digital Songs chart at number six. Oh Land re-recorded the song in Danish for her 2018 soundtrack Watermusic; the new rendition features guest vocals from Oliver Arndt de Thurah and was retitled "Elsker dig mer".[1]
