Darci Lynne has officially stepped into her pop era with “Better Late Than Never” and it’s the perfect showcase of how far she’s come since her AGT victory. The ventriloquism prodigy-turned-singer delivers a breezy, empowering anthem that proves her voice is just as captivating without puppets by her side.
This feel-good track blends Darci’s signature sweetness with a fresh contemporary sound. Light as air yet packed with vocal charm the song celebrates self-acceptance and moving at your own pace. The catchy melody and relatable lyrics (“Say what you want to say, do what you want to do”) make it an instant mood-booster.

Many note how the track’s message resonates; one fan wrote “This is the confidence boost I needed today!” while others beg for a full music video to accompany the uplifting anthem.
This polished pop direction shows how Darci’s evolved since her AGT days, when a wide-eyed 12-year-old version of herself wowed audiences with a ventriloquist act nobody saw coming; proving even then that the most unexpected talents often shine brightest when given time to grow.
