On July 6, 2026, popular American-Ukrainian singer Kelsie Kimberlin released her new song and music video, “Everything’s Better,” to rave reviews and global radio play. The song is a badass pop song showcasing female empowerment and confidence. Everyone has faced jerks in their lives, and Kelsie sings about running circles around a particular petty girl who ends up realizing how pathetic she was to mess with Kelsie.
Much of Kelsie’s music over the past year has been focused on the suffering of the Ukrainian people from its 12-year war with Russia. However, with “Everything’s Better” and several upcoming releases, Kelsie returns to her pop roots to give her fans something fun and uplifting. She worked with producers on three continents, with Pedro Vengoechea in Colombia and Vasyl Tkach in Czechia adding their fairy dust to the track. Grammy nominee Brent Kolotalo mixed the song, and Grammy winner Joe LaPorta mastered it.
On the video side, the brilliant Ukrainian film director Pavlo Khomiuk wrote the script and did all the filming and editing. The music video was filmed in Kyiv, Ukraine, during one of the worst weeks of missile and drone attacks by Russian terrorists. Shortly thereafter, the apartment where the filming took place was damaged by a Shahed drone that landed in a courtyard nearby. The video shows a group of Ukrainian girls dancing and singing, while one girl shadowboxes wearing red boxing gloves, signifying that they are not afraid and will fight anyone who tries to take away their happiness.
“I hope this song inspires women to stand up for their rights,” Kelsie said. “The war in Ukraine has shown that every woman has the power inside her to do that, whether in their personal life or for their country,” said Kelsie. “With Everything’s Better, I want to show that, despite any challenge, people can maintain their dignity, and have fun and hope.”
Last April, Kelsie received the United Nations Humanitarian Award and the St. George’s Royal Medal of Honor from King Charles for her strong support of Ukrainian freedom and liberty. She has tens of millions of views, streams, and plays on the radio of her many songs and videos. All of her current songs include Grammy winners and nominees in the production process. Her full-length movie about Ukraine, “The Last Message,” www.thelastmessagemovie.com, has recently won numerous film festival awards in the Best Documentary category, and it will be released later this year.
