Lizzo releases new album title track “Bitch”
New album “Bitch” coming June 5
GRAMMY® & Emmy Award-winning superstar singer, songwriter, rapper, instrumentalist, and actress Lizzo has released the title track off of her upcoming album Bitch. Earlier this week, she announced that her third studio album will be released on June 5. Accompanying the track is a new video directed by Child, featuring Lizzo and her entourage as circus performers—watch HERE.
The track was produced by frequent collaborators Ricky Reed, Blake Slatkin & Zack Sekoff and interpolates Meredith Brooks’ smash hit of the same name. Lizzo, who first coined the phrase “I’m 100% that bitch” on her Diamond-selling single “Truth Hurts,” will continue to shape pop culture with her new forthcoming album, announced earlier this week.
Just last month, Lizzo released “Don’t Make Me Love U”, another standout track from the forthcoming album. The song was met with immense praise from critics and fans alike, kicking off Lizzo’s new musical era with a striking video depicting Lizzo grappling with her past self, reflecting on and eventually evolving through learning and growth.
This much-anticipated release comes on the heels of a fully sold-out run of shows at Blue Note Jazz Club’s Los Angeles & New York locations, totaling a run of 12 performances. Variety heralded that “these shows reminded the audience, up close and personal, what a major talent Lizzo is: a top-class singer, an engaging and entertaining performer, and to a degree we haven’t really seen before, a trained, serious musician.” She most recently gave an electrifying performance at the sold-out Houston Rodeo, with over 70,000 fans, earlier this month.
Aside from music, Lizzo recently announced the upcoming release of her first-ever children’s book, Lil Lizzo Meets Sasha B. Flootin’, coming to bookshelves everywhere on September 8, 2026. Published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, the story tells of a bubbly little girl who just wants to belong, meeting a smart and brassy flute who can’t find her tune, and winding up on a wild adventure to places filled with incredible sounds. Lizzo is also starring as Rock N Roll pioneer & gospel singer Sister Rosetta Tharpe in the upcoming film “Rosetta” from Amazon MGM Studios.
