In the 10^th edition of Bangerz N Bopz (2026), we break down “Ruin Me” performed by Corbyn Besson.

Oh, you and this girl have been there before, huh, Corbyn Besson (b. 1998)? The former Why Don’t We pop singer-songwriter clearly IS NOT done with her on “Ruin Me”. “Ruin Me” appears as the fifth track on his 2026 EP, HEAD FIRST. Besson penned “Ruin Me” alongside a full team of songwriters: Trevor Muzzy, James Essien, Tenroc (Jason Cornet), Hit-Boy (Chauncey Hollis), Douglas Ford, and Peter Lee Johnson.  That’s a lot of cooks in the kitchen.  The good news is, their collaborative efforts are well worth it. Tenroc, Hit-Boy, and Trevor Muzzy produced this pop bop.

“Ruin Me” is striking from the get-go.  It features lush, warm musical accompaniment. I love the contrast within the backdrop when the harder, rhythmic drum programming enters. Simply put, that shyt knocks!  Of course, the straw that stirs the drink is Corbyn Besson, who delivers buttery smooth vocals. He’s cool, calm, and collected during the verses, which revolve around L-O-V-E… rekindled, it appears. A prime example: “On this California king with my twin, she a queen, oh yeah.” OH, YEAH! Corbyn ups the ante during the crème de la crème chorus, including grittier, more overt vocals and a delightful falsetto. The chorus features a tuneful melody and the most memorable lyrics of the song.

“I want you to mess it up for everyone else

Put me through the fire, baby, make my heart melt

I want you to ruin me, baby

This the type of love that make me lie to myself

‘Til we get to Heaven, baby, put me through hell

I want you to ruin me, baby, yeah.”

The rhythmic post-chorus is another high-flying moment from “Ruin Me” where, “I want you to keep me on like the porch light / No, the bill ain’t cheap / Turn the boys night to your night.” Word. The song ends beautifully with the entrance of acoustic guitar strums. Does Mr. Besson do his big one on “Ruin Me”? You bet he does! Not only is he fine 😍, but he’s also a fine pop singer-songwriter!
