Bitter Bitch

Helen's song "Bitter Bitch" is a powerful anthem of self-empowerment and transformation. The lyrics tell the story of someone who has been pushed around and taken for granted for too long. The repeated phrase, "I’ve become a bitter bitch, but I don’t mind," signifies a turning point where the protagonist embraces their newfound assertiveness. This transformation is not about becoming mean-spirited but about reclaiming one's power and demanding respect. The phrase "talk to me nice" underscores this demand for respect and recognition of their worth.

The song delves into the protagonist's past, where they were once humble and sweet, only to be met with disappointment and mistreatment. The lines "All my life they kept me humble, now they mad that I stir some trouble" reflect a common societal expectation for people, especially women, to be docile and accommodating. When the protagonist starts to stand up for themselves, they are met with resistance and criticism. This shift from being used and taken advantage of to becoming someone who commands respect is a central theme in the song.

Helen's delivery of the lyrics is both defiant and unapologetic. The repetition of "hold it down" emphasizes the strength and resilience of the protagonist. They are no longer willing to be walked over and are now holding their ground firmly. The song's message is clear: self-respect and assertiveness are not negative traits but necessary for one's well-being. "Bitter Bitch" is a celebration of personal growth and the courage to demand better treatment from others, making it a relatable and empowering anthem for anyone who has ever felt undervalued or mistreated.
