Bitch

Allie X wrote “Bitch” in one day, following her move to Los Angeles from her native Canada. She had no plans to properly release it, but later posted it on Soundcloud in April 2014. Allie explained its contents in full detail with Interview Magazine: I just built it up. I did the beat first. These words started coming out that were domestic and weird. […] The lyrics are strange, and it sounds like it’s about some marriage or something like that. When I actually analyzed it, I came to the conclusion that it was about the relationship that I have with myself and the sort of concessions or compromises I make with that dark part of myself so that we can both get along and function. There’s definitely some dry humor in there, but that feeling of a domestic relationship with myself is one that I actually feel every day.
