The emotionally-wrought track follows her recent return to music with “Yes, Baby”
Madison Beer has dropped a new single, “Bittersweet.” The pensive track follows her recent release “Yes, Baby,” which she shared in September.
“Now that it’s over, you blame it all on me,” she croons on the song. “I know I should be bitter, but baby/ Right now I’m bittersweet/ I’m getting over what you put me through/ And I’d say I’m done crying, but baby/ I don’t lie like you do.”
“’Bittersweet’ is about the end of a chapter and the difficulty of coming to terms with it, while also recognizing that deep down you know it’s for the best—and finding peace in that along the journey,” Beer explained in a statement.
“Yes, Baby” and “Bittersweet” mark Beer’s return to music in 2025. Prior to the new songs, her last single, “15 Minutes,” dropped in July 2024. Several months prior to that, in February, she released “Make You Mine,” which would go on to earn a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording earlier this year. (The song ultimately lost out to Charli XCX’s “Von Dutch.”)
A press release for “Yes Baby” said more music from Beer would be arriving “sooner than you think,” suggesting the singles may mark the start of a new album cycle. Beer’s most recent LP, Silence Between Songs, was released in 2023, and she spent much of last year on her “Spinnin Tour” in support of the album.
The singer is set to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York City on Oct. 15. The performance will stream on Prime Video and Amazon Live for U.S. audiences and globally on Victoria’s Secret’s YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram accounts.
