13 Totally B!tchin’ Songs: Vol. 2 | Playlist 🎧

13 Totally B!†¢hin’ Songs: Vol. 2 features songs by Bella Poarch, Doja Cat, Future, Ice Spice, Olivia Rodrigo, and Tayo Ricci. 

“It’s the bitch of living.” Spring Awakening, 2006. The keyword is bitch. A naughty word in many contexts, the word contains multitudes, Bob Dylan! According to Merriam-Webster, bitch as a noun means (1) a female dog, (2a) ‘a malicious, spiteful, or overbearing woman’ 🥴 (also, used in derogatory towards women, which is NOT cool 🚫 😎). Also, bitch is a verb, too: All Marquis does is bitch and complain that dramatic qween🫅! MULTITUDES, I SAY! Focusing on the playlist at hand, 13 Totally B!†¢hin’ Songs: Vol. 2 is a sequel to my first, bitchin’ playlist, 13 Totally B!+chin’ Songs (2019). The criterion is simple: every song in this musical compendium must feature some form of ‘the b-word.’ That means, bitch, bitches, bitching, and bitchin’ are all acceptable. Also, misspelled versions are permitted too. 13 Totally B!†¢hin’ Songs: Vol. 2 features songs by Bella Poarch, Doja Cat, Future, Ice Spice, Olivia Rodrigo, and Tayo Ricci.  So, without further ado, let’s dive into these bitchin’ tunes, shall we?!

1. Ice Spice & Gunna, “Bitch I’m Packin’”

Y2K! // Dolo Entertainment, Inc. / UMG Recordings, Inc. / 10K Projects, LLC // 2024 

“Bitch, I’m packin’ (Packin’, packin’) / Got the jatt on me (Yeah) / Yeah, he jackin’ me (Jackin’ me) / Got the racks on me (Got the racks on me).” WOO! “Bitch I’m Packin’” is the fourth track from Y2K!, the debut album by Grammy-nominated rapper, Ice Spice (Isis Gaston). “Bitch I’m Packin’” features malicious-sounding production by DJH, Ojivolta, and RIOTUSA.  Set in a minor key, it features dark synths and a sick beat (808s).  Ice Spice brings a compelling, confident flow. Per usual, her bars are unapologetic (“He got felonies (Grrah), he got hella weed (Grrah) / His bitch ridin’ really good, but I got better knees”). Beyond spitting the first verse, she drops the memorable chorus heard at the top of the song. It continues:

“Got the stack on me (Got the stack on me)

Got the strap on me (Got the strap on me)

I got what he need (Yeah)

He got what I need (Grrah)”

It’s not all Isis Gaston on “Bitch I’m Packin’.” Gunna brings the heat in the second verse.  He fits the vibe perfectly as he rides the beat with ease, barely breaking a sweat (“Hot moves in Prada jeans (Yeah), who got stuff I’m tryna see? (Stuff) / You my bitch, don’t lie to me, get an AP for my apology (For my apology)”). There is no shortage of confidence from either rapper on “Bitch I’m Packin’.”

2. Tayo Ricci, “Bitch”

“Bitch” // Level Seven // 2024

Hella easy on the eyes 😍. That is one way to describe and objectify Australian pop singer and social media influencer, Tayo Ricci (Matteo Ricciuti).  Ricci only has himself to blame, constantly parading around shirtless showing off his chiseled physique. Is it the nipple rings? Expectedly, in the video for his single, “Bitch” we get to fawn over that bod.  But, “Bitch” is not about his looks but rather, a toxic relationship. It’s a bad sign when Ricci asserts early, “Caught up, you so cold like Minnesota in the winter snow.” Oh, snap 🫰! Minnesota gets frigid! He should call it quits, but admits, “Daredevil, yeah, I’m always wantin’ more / Keep waitin’ but my heart’s already tore / Another drink, I’m feelin’ faceless / The last kiss, yeah, I can taste it.” He comes to his senses by the end of the chorus, asserting, “Yeah, I’m done with all this fake shit / You had my heart, but you threw it all away, bitch.” I don’t advocate calling females the ‘b-word’ but he expresses his feelings concisely.  Besides the intriguing lyrics, the musicianship is noteworthy. Throughout, Tayo delivers lovely vocals – his tone is marvelous.  The melodies are tuneful – ear-catching by all means. He penned “Bitch” alongside Casey Manheim. The production is sleek, giving off contemporary R&B vibes. The backdrop features smooth keys and a rhythmic beat.  This ‘white boy R&B joint’ is 🔥.

3. Olivia Rodrigo, “All-American Bitch”

GUTS // Olivia Rodrigo / Geffen // 2023

“I know my age, and I act like it.” WOO! Ah, one of many colorful lyrics from “all-American bitch”, the bitchin’ opener from GUTS, the sophomore album by Grammy-winning pop superstar, Olivia Rodrigo.  In the verses, Rodrigo sings with a kinder, gentler sound, even when she curses (“I’ve got sun in my motherfuckin’ pocket, best believe”).  The chorus is bold, heavy, and loud AF – those roaring guitars rock 🤘!

“Forgive and I forget

I know my age and I act like it

Got what you can’t resist

I’m a perfect all-American bitch

With perfect all-American lips

And perfect all-American hips

I know my place

I know my place, and this is it.”

“all-American bitch” is deeper than its immature title suggests. It explores the expectations for her as a young, successful artist and for women, as unfair as they may be. This is a tone-setting joint.

4. Mad Tsai, “All-American Bitch!”

“All-American Bitch!” // Mad Tsai // 2024

“Why do I feel so jealous? / Of things I know don’t exist / Oh, it’s a self-destructive way to think.” Agreed, Mad Tsai.  There is nothing mad about those lyrics from the second verse of “All-American Bitch!”. Speaking of MADness, Mad highlights his name in the bridge: “M! (a mess but I’m obsessed) / A! (always have to be perfect) / D! (don’t know what is my purpose).” “All-American Bitch” is NOT a cover of the Olivia Rodrigo song from her sophomore album GUTS – it’s a brand-new song. As always, the handsome, bisexual pop musician is fierce AF.  He penned “All-American Bitch!” alongside Nick Lopez and producer, Jason Suwito. What makes “All-American Bitch!” bitchin’– the sugar honey iced tea? The sound and production are a selling point.  Set in a minor key, there’s a celestial darkness.  The songwriting also shapes the excellence.  The lyrics are memorable and honest.  Mad Tsai emphasizes chasing and being “raised on the American Dream.” “I want blonde hair and a new address,” he asserts in the memorable pre-chorus, continuing, “I want a body that’ll make ‘em wish / That their boyfriends didn’t exist / I’m just an all–American bitch.” Ooh-wee! Not only is the pre-chorus great, but so is the chorus.  Mad Tsai brings awesome vocals and a big personality to the table on “All-American Bitch!”.

5. Doja Cat, “Bottom Bitch”

Hot Pink // Kemosabe / RCA // 2019

Doja Cat raised eyebrows with the crowning achievement from Hot Pink, “Bottom Bitch” written and produced with Yeti Beats. Notably, Blink-182 receives writing credits thanks to a sample of their classic, “What’s My Age Again?”.  The lyrics are aggressive. Interestingly, the Grammy winner references pimping at the beginning as she sings the chorus.  This, of course, is where the bottom bitch comes into play.

“Ooh, that’s my trick

I’m her pimp

She my flip

Ooh, don’t forget

That’s my trick

She’s my bottom bitch…”

In the verses, Doja maintains toughness.  “She just like a pro / She just wanna blow up / If you’re talkin’ shit / Wipe your spit off my nuts,” she sings. While there is more than its fair share of sexual innuendo and references, this outlandish cut feels more like a committed friendship than a relationship.  The second verse continues to find her elevating her ‘bottom bitch’ on a pedestal.  WOO!!!

6. Future, Metro Boomin & Brownstone, “Luv Bad Bitches”

WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU // Wilburn Holding Co. / Boominati Worldwide / Epic / Republic // 2024

“Good girl, that’s okay with me / Bad bitches get everything.” That sounds on brand for Future. “Luv Bad Bitches” samples “If You Love Me”, a 1994 song by R&B collective, Brownstone.  The song features lush production by Metro Boomin, taking on an R&B identity.  Future embraces the melodic, smooth vibes.  He sounds wild and shallow as he sings, “[I] like good girls, but I love bad bitches.” That’s about the size of the record where the rapper is drenched in autotune. Soaked! Even after it settles in, Future still has an overabundance of autotune.  Doubling down is all the rage. It should come as no surprise that the sixth track from WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU lacks depth. “Let’s get so drunk we forget to fuck,” he asserts in the first verse, adding, “Let’s do some X so we can feel in love.” Yep, that’s how “Luv Bad Bitches” rolls.

7. Bella Poarch, “Build a Bitch”

Dolls (EP) // Warner // 2022

The eyebrow-raising “Build a Bitch” finds Filipino-American pop singer Bella Poarch singing about women’s empowerment and criticizing guys looking for physical perfection. There’s lots to heart about this record with the messaging being the biggest triumph.  The chorus, which appears at the onset, sets the tone. “This ain’t Build a Bitch (a bitch) / You don’t get to pick and choose,” Bella sings, continuing to name the details so many men scrutinize when it comes to women.  “I’m filled with flaws and attitude / So if you need perfect, I’m not built for you,” she asserts at the end of the chorus. Poarch states that too many men set an impossible standard for their benefit.  In the verses, she elaborates on the opposite sex’s search for perfection, further illustrating her point.  Beyond the songwriting and a strong performance from Poarch, “Build a Bitch” features slick production work (Elie Rizk and Sub Urban) that’s ear-catching.  Ultimately, Bella delivers on this brief, colorful pop song; among the best of 2021.

8. The Prodigy, “Smack My Bitch Up”

The Fat of the Land // XL Recordings Ltd. // 1997 

“Change my pitch up / Smack my bitch up / Change my pitch up / Smack my bitch up / (Like this).” Oh, snap 🫰! The Prodigy raised eyebrows with their controversial song, “Smack My Bitch Up”.  “Smack My Bitch Up” appeared on their 1997 album, The Fat of the Land.  Given the lyrics, it’s not surprising why the song received ample controversy.  The titular lyric is a questionable choice of words, seemingly promoting violence against women.  The National Organization of Women weren’t fans. The band didn’t intend to promote abuse, defending the lyrics as representing mad energy, but had to know there’d be backlash. The lyrics didn’t come from Liam Howlett or the late Keith Flint.  The groovy gem is comprised of several samples, most notably Ultramagnetic MCs 1988 gem, “Give the Drummer Some”. That’s where those two lines come from, courtesy of the first verse by rapper Kool Keith.  The part that The Prodigy didn’t sample was “like a pimp,” which follows.” 

The spare but potent lyrics weren’t the sole source of controversy. The Jonas Åkerlund-directed music video was equally, if not more controversial due to the inclusion of nudity, sex, partying, and wild behavior.  Reflecting on the video, the Swedish musician/music video director claims he understands better why the video was infamous stateside, attributing it to cultural differences in an article appearing on Louder Sound. He adds that depending on where you live, different people have different opinions of the video for different reasons. Despite its controversies, “Smack My Bitch Up” is a badass electronic cut.  Approaching 30 years later, it’s awesome to the nth degree.

9. Lizzo, “I Love You Bitch”

Special // Nice Life / Atlantic // 2022

“I love you, bitch (I love you) / I love you, bitch (Yeah, I love you).” It’s never shocking to hear Grammy-winning pop singer Lizzo swear, particularly when that swear word is bitch.  No one should be surprised Special has a record featuring the five-letter word in its title. No, “I Love You Bitch” isn’t a classy, refined pop cut, but, Lizzo makes her point loud and clear. “I realized that I wanted to write a universal love song – one you could sing to the person you’re fucking and your best friend, to your family, or to someone you just met at a bar.” Hey, at least Lizzo is transparent when describing “I Love You Bitch,” right? I mean, the lyrics support her assertion: “Uh, yeah, you are the most special-est / Not just that bitch, but you my bitch.” Woo! “I Love You Bitch” musters up a catchy chorus (featured at the beginning of this blurb) and great production work courtesy of Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin.  Yeah, it’s “Pretty Bitchin’”, Miranda Lambert!

10. JbDubs, “Bitch Boots”

Bodega Bouquet // DistroKid // 2020 

“I imagine bitch boots walking down the street.” If you say so, JbDubs (James Whiteside). The gay pop artist and ballet dancer continues in the first verse of “Bitch Boots”, “Daggers on the pavement while I chop up the strut.” Strut, ay? JbDubs is confident AF on the sleek opener from Bodega Bouquet.  The boys are thirsty for it! “Everybody awed by the bod and quads / Everybody want a naughty hottie with a bod.” He has a point.  Even those of us who aren’t toned lust for those muscles that the bitch boot-wearing pop star possesses. How do such titillating sights affect us? “Thigh highs up in a high rise / Thick thighs make the dick rise.” The penis has a mind of its own, particularly when visually stimulated.  Because of this, JbDubs asserts, “They love my bitch boots / Rockin’ cocky up the block.”  Cocky is an interesting word choice! “Bitch Boots” isn’t deep but it is entertaining. JbDubs arouses us with something fierce.  He is the bitchin’ given his looks, body, and the way he struts his stuff. “Bitch Boots” is gay AF and radiates midnight heat 🥵🔥.

11. HOLYCHILD, “Bathroom Bitch”

“Bathroom Bitch” // Glassnote Entertainment Group LLC // 2018

“I wanna fuck you in the bathroom / I wanna fuck you on the roof of my car / I wanna drink your juice so badly / I want it dripping from my ass to the floor.” Wow – holy fuck! Liz Nistico doesn’t hold back anything on “Bathroom Bitch”, which is a sexual record.  The first verse is X-rated, and the second and third don’t tame things down either.  “Can I go down on you in public,” Nistico asks in the second verse, adding in the third, “C’mon and fuck me like you doubt me / I wanna be the only one you won’t forget.” Woo! Nistico (songwriting and vocals), alongside producer/instrumentalist Louie Diller was previously part of the alternative/indie pop duo, HOLYCHILD.  They have since moved on from HOLYCHILD, but “Bathroom Bitch” is unforgettable, to say the least.   

“Baby, I’m an animal but you can have a taste  

God, I feel so powerful when grinding on your face…”   

My, my, my! Beyond the pre-chorus with its animalistic tendencies, the chorus encourages the sweet pleasures of sex.  Interestingly, it does so without f-bombs explicitly expressing what’s going down.  No worries, because the bridge gets down and dirty once more: “In the bathroom, in the library / I feel your love inside of me.” Inside, huh? #SPEECHLESS! The sex is lit on “Bathroom Bitch” – that might be an understatement.  This is a dirty but fun and utterly infectious indie pop joint.  Liz Nistico is bold AF, and she’s unafraid to express her sexual desires.

12. Buckcherry, “Crazy Bitch”

15 // 11-7 Recording Corp. / Atlantic // 2006

“Hey / You’re a crazy bitch / But you fuck so good, I’m on top of it.” Woo! I find it surprising that a record named “Crazy Bitch”, released in the aughts, ended up being a multiplatinum (quadruple platinum) single.  Furthermore, the parent album, 15, was certified as double platinum itself.  Rock band Buckcherry was nothing short of outlandish on this explicit gem.  Singles that feature the b-word narrow their airplay ability, particularly back in 2006 when this song/album arrived.  Despite loudly and proudly highlighting bitch in its title and lyrics, “Crazy Bitch” climbed as high as no. 59 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The premise of “Crazy Bitch” is that this particular girl – and these types of girls – are crazy.  Even so, the sex is electric.  The utterly naughty, sing-along chorus – excerpted above – continues: “…When I dream, I’m doing you all night / Scratches all down my back to keep me right on.” The hard-rocking verses are risqué too. In the first verse, frontman Josh Todd memorable asserts, “Scream so loud, getting fucking laid / You want me to stay, but I got to make my way.” Surprisingly, the second verse is tamer, though Todd still brings that high-flying, rock-and-roll spirit.  He makes up for the lack of profanity on the bridge, where we get two fucks and three crazy bitches: 

“Get the video  

Fuck you so good  

Get the video  

Fuck you so good  

Crazy bitch  

Crazy bitch  

Crazy, bitch.” 

Woo! There’s also a second bridge, which features one of the best lines of the song that recurs as the outro: “You’re crazy / But I like the way you fuck me.” What more can you say to that?  Even with the word bitch being used more in mainstream music in the 2020s, “Crazy Bitch” still has an edge.

13. Meredith Brooks, “Bitch”

Blurring the Edges // Capitol // 2024

“I’m a bitch, I’m a lover / I’m a child, I’m a mother / I’m a sinner, I’m a saint / I do not feel ashamed.” Meredith Brooks, you are multifaceted!  That said, the part that raised eyebrows is the five-letter word, also the title of the song, “Bitch”. “Bitch” was written by Brooks alongside Shelly Peiken. And produced by Geza X. It appeared as the second track on her 1997 platinum album, Blurring the Edges. A song earning pop success with an ‘obscenity’ in the title in the 1990s was unusual.  “Bitch” peaked at no. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, the sole top 40 hit by Brooks. “Bitch” was certified gold by the RIAA.   

“I hate the world today,” Brooks commences the first verse with a bang. From there, the emotionally charged lyrics continue. “I’m an angel underneath / Innocent and sweet,” she asserts, adding in the second verse, “I can understand how you’d be so confused /… I’m a little bit of everything all rolled into one.” In the chorus, she can’t be pigeonholed, and simultaneously, can be multiple things.  These different parts can change from moment to moment, day to day (“Tomorrow I will change and today won’t mean a thing).  While this is written from the perspective of a woman, it is a song that speaks to everybody – we can all be characterized by perceived good and bad things.  There is no shortage of memorable lyrics, such as “So take me as I am / This may mean you’ll have to be a stronger man” (verse three) and “Just when you think you got me figured out / The season’s already changing” (bridge). “Bitch” raises eyebrows because of its title, but what Brooks delivers with her one-hit-wonder is a song that is relatable and thoughtfully penned and authentically performed.
