"Better In Time" is a song written by J. R. Rotem and Andrea Martin and produced by Rotem for Leona Lewis' debut album, Spirit. It is the fourth track on the album, (second track on US release) and was released in March 2008 as Lewis' third single in the United Kingdom, as a double A-side with "Footprints in the Sand". It was later released as Lewis' second international single following her debut hit "Bleeding Love".

The single was released in the UK as a digital download on March 9, 2008, with a physical release on the following day, in aid of Sport Relief. The song was remixed for the single release. "Better In Time" was BBC Radio 2's record of the week from February 11, 2008.
It has so far become a top ten hit in Europe and Lewis' native UK, as well as in the US Pop 100 and mainstream charts.
