Remix[]
An official remix of "I'm Better" was released in May 2017. The remix featured Eve, Lil' Kim, and Trina.[2]
Music video[]
The video was co-directed by Elliott and Dave Meyers.[3] Elliot noted that she had the video in mind upon listening to the track.[4] The video took a month to rehearse owing to Elliott's wish to make it "look like art instead of just a video"[4] and for the choreography to be "challenging".[4] Rolling Stone noted the video "builds on Elliott's future-forward off-kilter aesthetic",[3] also stating that it "nods as much to sci-fi as classic, Hype Williams-era hip-hop videos".[3] Further praise from Billboard, stating the music video is a "stylized, can’t-look-away clip", and noted the "aquatic sequence is an unexpected trip".[5]
