Apollo & The Human Nation’s “Bitch!” is a firebomb of pop-punk angst, a breakup track that spits venom while pulling listeners onto the dance floor.

Written in the raw throes of heartbreak, the track explodes with searing guitar riffs, rapid-fire lyrics, and an unfiltered emotional release that makes Olivia Rodrigo’s GET HIM BACK! feel restrained by comparison.

Listen in here:

What sets Bitch! apart is its paradoxical nature – it’s rage disguised as a pop song. Apollo initially aimed for a snarling punk assault but a surprising catchiness emerged, creating a more intoxicating juxtaposition of fury and groove.

Lyrically, the song is unapologetic. It is packed with F-bombs and raw emotional catharsis. Some might balk at its unfiltered delivery, but Apollo defends the expletives as essential to the song’s visceral punch.

Beyond its breakup-fueled angst, Bitch! also taps into a broader conversation about empowerment.

Apollo cites Jennifer Fitta’s essay on reclaiming the word “bitch” as an unexpected thematic layer, positioning the song as not just a revenge anthem but also a nod to the sexual liberation of modern women. It’s a track that refuses to be boxed in—equal parts personal wound and cultural statement.

“It’s definitely volcanic for a pop song! Gotta a lot F-bombs,a lot of venom to it! Some suggested I pull back off the expletives for POP’s sake. I tried that but it ended up losing it’s impact. Let’s face it sometimes only launching an f-bomb can describe an intense feeling of hurt and rage!

I wanted to write a song that was straight up, real, in your face and how people really talk and feel, as if they could have written the song themselves. It’s like the working man’s pop song! It’s my opinion that Rock has become to homogenized. To me my BITCH is Rock music getting pissed off again!” 

At its core, Bitch! is an eruption of emotion, a middle finger to both heartbreak and musical conformity.

If pop-punk has felt too polished in recent years, Apollo is here to rough it up again. Love it or hate it, Bitch! is impossible to ignore.
