Stefanie Michaela Releases “BETTER WITH TIME”
Rising pop/R&B artist Stefanie Michaela releases the music video for
her latest single, “Better With Time,” a lush, unfiltered track that pushes back against age
expectations and celebrates self-made confidence. Co-written by Stefanie, Nash Overstreet
(Hot Chelle Rae, Megan Trainor), and Cali Rodi (Keith Urban, Daya), and produced by
Overstreet, the song tells the story of a woman’s life that is just getting started after picking up
her dreams from where she left off.
Stefanie doesn’t just perform; she inhabits every frame with intention. She moves with purpose
within the barrel wall and the City Winery Nashville cellar room. Her swaying along the
decorated, curving staircase and glass bottle wall beautifully create an ambiance reminiscent of
a giant LED-lit window in a historic church.
“Filming my music video in Nashville brought my songs to life. It gave meaning to the story and
painted a picture of real, lived emotion,” Stefanie says. “There’s something about Nashville, it
pulls the truth out of your songs and your soul.”
“Stop telling me act my age
Ain’t nothing but a number anyway
I can’t get with that same old same
I keep getting better with time.”
Director Rick Caballo (Dead Horse Branding), says, “Pairing the song lyrics with the City
Winery venue made our job so much easier. It was the perfect setting, with everything we
needed right there. The food and staff were amazing, and the whole day went on without a
hitch. Even utilizing their foyer as a space for the white room scene.
The classy high-end feel, candlelight, and barrels were the ultimate compliment to the vintage
fashion, the song’s message, and the song’s hook. While the music industry is a fast-paced and
superficial landscape, winemakers like the City Winery know the importance of time spent
savoring the moment, letting good things come to those who wait–just like Stefanie, who has
honed her craft over the years.
Stefanie is curating her very own City Winery wine collection in collaboration with the venue for
her lucky fans to enjoy. With its fully functioning urban winery, private event spaces, and a
reputation for world-class hospitality, City Winery Nashville has become a premier destination
for music lovers, foodies, and wine enthusiasts alike.
Stefanie isn’t chasing what was; she’s stepping into what’s always been hers. “When the vibe of
City Winery matches the soul of your song, the story comes alive,” she says.
“Better With Time” pushes back on the pressure to conform and speaks to anyone who’s ever
been told they’re too late, too old, or too anything. Stefanie makes it clear: those limits don’t
apply here. Fresh off her performance as part of NBC’s Atlanta and Co. Artists to Watch
Series, she has two shows in Los Angeles this fall — and with her new EP Turning Pages
arriving next year, this chapter is only the beginning.
