Song information
The song was released in mid-April, 2009, and received favorable reviews. Digital Spy commented on the track saying that "With its quirky production, falsetto vocals and rousing chorus, 'Better Off As 2' encapsulates Frankmusik's eccentric yet accessible style in just three minutes". The site wrote that the song is "guaranteed to get the toes tapping of even the most musically illiterate, what's more exciting is that his best tunes are still to come."
Music video
Produced in early 2009, the music video features CGI layered shots of Frankmusik and a dancing female. It was directed by Tim Pope.{{cite web |url=http://www.promonews.tv/2009/03/17/frankmusik%E2%80%99s-better-off-as-two-by-tim-pope/ |title=Promo News » Blog Archive » FrankMusik's Better Off As Two by Tim Pope » Promo News |publisher=Promonews.tv |access-date=2012-01-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110829024240/http://www.promonews.tv/2009/03/17/frankmusik%E2%80%99s-better-off-as-two-by-tim-pope/ |archive-date=2011-08-29 }}
