Upon release, the band said "It felt like a song we wrote to ourselves and to our loved ones during what was a testing time for us all personally. We were originally going to get a gospel choir for the end of this song but thought better of it when we realized we had so many talented friends with amazing voices around us. We invited them to the studio and just spent a full day playing and recording with them. It's so special to share this song with such a talented and kind-hearted group of people."[1]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2020, "Treat You Better" was nominated for Most Performed Dance Work of the Year.[2][3]
