AceShowbiz - Lizzo has released a bold new single titled "Bitch," which serves as the title track for her forthcoming album set to drop on June 5, 2026.
The track was produced by Ricky Reed, Blake Slatkin, and Zack Sekoff, and notably features an interpolation of Meredith Brooks’ 1997 hit of the same name. This connection pays homage to the earlier feminist anthem while delivering a fresh and assertive message.
The artist also debuted a black and white music video directed by Child, portraying Lizzo and her crew as circus performers. The visuals complement the song’s theme of self-liberation, as Lizzo defiantly sings: "She's a bitch/ Uh you mean boss/ You been through what I been through/ You know the cost/ If I lost some followers it ain't a loss."
On social media, Lizzo explained that "Bitch" is dedicated to women who are labeled negatively for asserting boundaries, embracing their sexuality, speaking up for themselves, and striving as entrepreneurs. She highlighted the double standards women face, saying, "If we don't smile and perform all the time we're 'ungrateful.' If we run a strict program we're 'mean.' If we enjoy sex we're 'sluts' and shamed."
Describing the song as a WOMANIFESTO, Lizzo called it a declaration of independence from societal judgment and toxicity, coining the moment as a B!TCH summer. This release sets the tone for what fans can expect from her upcoming album—a celebration of empowerment and unapologetic self-expression.
