The album announcement has felt like it’s been dragged out for years, but Lizzo has announced hear new album Bitch<\/em>. The singer began her comeback attempt last year, after years of lawsuit battles. She shared the single “Love In Real Life<\/a>,” with a post that said goodbye to her previous Special<\/em> era with the words “Bye Bitch.” Foreshadowing! A few <\/a>singles <\/a>and a mixtape later<\/a>, she’s fully leaning into this new chapter. Along with the announcement, she’s shared the title track and a black and white visual directed by child.<\/p>\n “Bitch” was produced by Ricky Reed, Blake Slatkin and Zack Sekoff. It samples Missy Elliott’s 1999 single “She’s A Bitch” and<\/em> interpolates Meredith Brooks’ 1997 smash “Bitch.” “I heard what you saying\/ Goddamn, I let it get to me\/ You want me to be everything except a human being,” she sings before the chorus hits. Honestly, I think the Brooks interpolation, which takes over the entire chorus, holds the song back; it might actually be the least interesting aspect of the single. <\/p>\n Lizzo also declared “B!TCH summer,” with a post about the double standards and hypocrisies women face: <\/p>\n This song is dedicated to the women who get called a bitch for having boundaries, for being sexual, for speaking up for themselves, for working hard and owning businesses\u2026 <\/p>\n If we don\u2019t smile and perform all the time we\u2019re \u201cungrateful\u201d <\/p>\n If we run a strict program we\u2019re \u201cmean\u201d If we enjoy sex we\u2019re \u201csluts\u201d and shamed <\/p>\n This WOMANIFESTO is a declaration of independence from the bullsh*t <\/p>\n It\u2019s a B!TCH summer<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Check out “Bitch” below. <\/p>\n\n
