Rising Australian firebrand POLLY delivers a gut-punch of glitter and grit on her new single 'B.I.T.E ME', a fierce preview of her forthcoming EP 'Daddy Issues'. This track is as biting as its title suggests, both a searing retaliation and a cathartic exhale wrapped in glossy, adrenaline-fuelled production.
Known for her sharp emotional candor and shape-shifting musicality, POLLY doesn’t hold back here. 'B.I.T.E ME' is the kind of song that kicks the door in with stomp-clap percussion and industrial sparkle, echoing the likes of Charli XCX and Tove Lo while asserting a sound entirely her own. The vocals snarl and shimmer in equal measure, hitting that sweet spot between rage and release; a middle finger dipped in bubblegum gloss.
Underneath the song’s blistering confidence lies the sting of betrayal: the kind of heartbreak that hits like a gut punch when you see your ex move on too fast. But instead of wallowing, POLLY weaponises her vulnerability, turning it into something explosive. “This track helped the angriest part of me heal,” she’s said, and you can hear that process unfold in real time.
Production-wise, it’s a full-throttle collaboration. With Liam Quinn, Brent Kolatalo, and Chris Gehringer at the helm, 'B.I.T.E ME' sounds massive, equal parts neon-lit club anthem and unfiltered emotional purge. The thudding drums are relentless, the synths sharp-edged, and the vocal delivery teeters between cheeky and confrontational.
If this is the heat POLLY’s bringing ahead of 'Daddy Issues', consider us scorched and ready. This track is a purge, a power move, and a pulse-check for anyone who’s ever felt gutted and decided to dance anyway.
