Lizzo has dropped her new song “Bitch,” the title track from her upcoming album of the same name.
The song samples the song of the same name by Meredith Brooks, which was released back in 1997, and Missy Elliott‘s song “She’s a Bitch” from 1999. They both received writing credits on the new song.
Lizzo sings on the chorus, “I’m a bitch, I’m a lover/ I’m a child, I’m a mother / I’m a sinner, I’m a saint / I do not feel ashamed / I’m a mess, I’m a queen / And everything between / You know you wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Lizzo previously coined the phrase “I’m 100% that bitch” on her song “Truth Hurts” and now it’s shaping her new album, which is due out on June 5.
“Reclaiming the word Bitch is power – it’s taking a label once used to diminish women and turning it into a declaration of confidence, and unapologetic self-love,” Lizzo explains of the title. “So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity like Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliot. It was only fitting to name my album Bitch because it has become my favorite word when using it on my own terms and because I am 100% that bitch!”
