After leaving the band he’s been working on his album for the last five years. Over the years he’s changed the band name several times (“Hate me”, “Black List Club”), but he has now decided to release it as a solo album.
A lot of fans were confused about the changes and were wondering if the Black List Club was over, but Evan was so kind to explain the changes. “The Black List Club” has turned into his family of fans and so everyone was satisfied.
He’s already released “Cheater of the year” on iTunes, but the first single is going to be “Boy meets girl”, which was written with Bleu and it was released on 31rd March 2009 on iTunes.
The album “Welcome to the Black List Club” will be released this August (2009).

Better Than You
Evan Taubenfeld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey!
Hey!
I'm gonna make her mine
Just like that
She's gone
I think you're girlfriend's getting bored
She wants a ten, she got a four
You shouldn't leave her wanting more
I'll help her find it
I'm what she wishes you could be
When she's with you, she thinks of me
Now you can't give her what she needs
Hope you don't mind it
You're wondering why she don't want you
Goodbye!
Cause I'm better than you, better than you
At everything you do
You're out of time, I'm gonna make her mine
I'm gonna take your girl from you
There's nothing that you can do
You're out of time, I'm gonna her make mine
I'm at her house the nights you're not
Lately that seems to be a lot
I know the way to hit that spot
It drives her crazy
And I take her places that you can't
And I'm not talking about Japan
Looks like she wants a different man
Go on and hate me
She tells you size just doesn't matter
I'm better than you, better than you
At everything you do
You're out of time, I'm gonna make her mine
I'm gonna take your girl from you
Ain't shit that you can do
You're out of time, I'm gonna make her mine
And you're just another average Joe (Oh no)
You outta let her go and be with someone more like me
And nothing you ever do or say will ever make that change
Yeah
I'm better than you, better than you
At everything you do
You're out of time, I'm gonna make her mine
Gonna take your girl from you
There's nothing that you can do
You're out of time, I'm gonna make her mine
I'm gonna make her mine
You better say goodbye
I'm gonna make her mine
Better than you
The song 'Better Than You' by Evan Taubenfeld is a bold and confident statement about a man who believes he is better than his romantic rival in every aspect, both physical and emotional. The lyrics are directed towards the man's current girlfriend who he believes is bored with her current beau and wants someone who is more exciting and satisfying. The man provides her with the things her current boyfriend cannot, like emotional fulfillment, great sex, and taking her to new places she has never been before.
The song is a reflection of how society views a man's masculinity and how it is measured by external factors. The man sees himself as superior because he can provide things that the other guy cannot, and this makes him feel more manly. The song also speaks to the insecurity that men feel in relationships and how their masculinity is put into question when their partners look elsewhere for affection. The man's taunting lyrics and overconfidence show how he is trying to compensate for his own insecurities by putting the other guy down.
Overall, 'Better Than You' is a song about male competitiveness and insecurity in relationships, and how men use their masculinity to feel superior and compensate for their own insecurities.
