Bellah Mae’s ‘Boyfriend Of The Year’ Is An Explosive Opening Gambit

Bellah Mae has shared her debut single ‘Boyfriend Of The Year’.

The pop rebel is making her own rules, blending future-facing production, excellent ear-worm melodies, and odd country and rock inflection, too. A prodigal talent – she was a Guns N’ Roses Stan as a tween – Bellah Mae gathers all these influences (and more) on her emphatic new single.

Out now, ‘Boyfriend Of The Year’ was trailed on TikTok, and promptly went viral with it’s all-too-relatable tale of being dumped and then watching your toxic ex live out a dream relationship on social media.

Sung from the heart, ‘Boyfriend Of The Year’ twists and turns, before exploding into that emphatic chorus. Instantly infectious, it’s a bold opening gambit, allowing Bellah Mae to introduce herself with remarkable panache.

She comments…

 “I’d had the opening line of the chorus in my notes app for a few months, but I didn’t know which angle I wanted to take the song. Josh and I started trying out ideas and, in an hour, we had written the song. It was one of those examples where it just writes itself”.

“When I uploaded the song to TikTok, the response was so amazing and positive. I wrote it from my personal experiences, but the number of messages I’ve had from girls and guys sending me paragraphs about their own situations is incredible. As a songwriter, it’s confirmation that I’m doing something right.”
