Apollo & The Human Nation’s latest single, Bitch!, is a firebomb of pop-punk angst—an electrified breakup anthem that seethes with venom while simultaneously inviting listeners onto the dance floor. This is no measured, melancholic reflection on heartbreak; it’s a full-throttle explosion of raw emotion, channeled through blistering guitar riffs and rapid-fire lyrics that leave no room for subtlety. If Olivia Rodrigo’s GET HIM BACK! took a swing, Bitch! throws a knockout punch.

From the first searing chord, Bitch! makes its intentions clear—this is rage wrapped in a deceptively catchy pop melody. Apollo initially envisioned the track as a pure punk assault, but a surprising hook-laden groove emerged, giving the song a paradoxical edge. The result? A high-octane mix of fury and infectious energy, creating an intoxicating blend of emotional release and danceable defiance.

Lyrically, Bitch! doesn’t hold back. It’s packed with expletives, unfiltered catharsis, and gut-punching honesty. While some might balk at the song’s unapologetic language, Apollo sees it as essential to the track’s emotional core. “Some suggested I pull back on the expletives for pop’s sake,” Apollo shares. “I tried, but it lost its impact. Let’s face it—sometimes only an F-bomb can truly capture the depth of hurt and rage.”

Yet, beneath its breakup-fueled angst, Bitch! carries a deeper message. Apollo draws inspiration from Jennifer Fitta’s essay on reclaiming the word “bitch,” positioning the song as more than just a revenge anthem—it’s also a nod to modern sexual liberation and female empowerment. By weaving this unexpected layer into the song’s fabric, Bitch! becomes a declaration of both personal pain and cultural defiance.

“It’s definitely volcanic for a pop song! A lot of F-bombs, a lot of venom,” Apollo admits. “But more than anything, I wanted to write something raw and real—something people could see themselves in. It’s like the working man’s pop song. Rock has become too homogenized. To me, my Bitch! is rock music getting pissed off again!”

At its core, Bitch! is an eruption of emotion—a sonic middle finger to heartbreak, societal expectations, and the sanitized polish of today’s pop-punk. Love it or hate it, Bitch! demands to be heard. It’s messy, loud, and impossible to ignore—just like the best rock anthems should be.
