Guildford singer-songwriter, bassist and producer BEX release her brand-new single “Bite My Tongue.”
Following the release of her successful 2022 debut single, “Tiptoe,” “Bite My Tongue,” BEX teases whispered vocals, edging riffs, and a stomping chorus – an explosive follow-up to say the least.
Talking about the meaning behind the track, BEX tells: “Bite My Tongue is written about times I have not stood up for myself. In the last couple of years I have been really finding myself and it has caused me to reflect back to times where I didn’t truly know who I was or what I stood for, times where I bit my tongue instead of sharing my opinion. Musically it’s riffy and simple, it has that raw punch in the face, I love all my songs to be simple and short.”

Produced by Sam Cramer, with a double bass feature from BEX and live band member Josh, across “Bite My Tongue,” BEX brings out a hook packed with adrenaline. The music video was filmed by a canal in Guildford, by videographer Olivia Brisset and self-directed by BEX. The video comes with disturbing glitchy visuals shot in a retro filter, and masters a cool DIY look.
Originally titled, as “Chez,” “Bite My Tongue,” is now a track that stands as a mantra for BEX, and you too. Emphasising just how important it is to her to stand proud, speak up for the things she cares about and to not be afraid, BEX tells:
“Always stand up for yourself and share your opinions, but at the same time listen to others. ‘I'll hold it in so you have fun’ I think this lyric is important because it reflects how I used to not speak so I wouldn't upset anyone or ruin anyone's night even if I was having a bad time. SPEAK, always speak, don’t hold back, share what you wanna share, just don't be a dickhead. ”
