I thought that for once she would do the right thing with an album with the same sound/concept from beginning to end .. but here we have the forced pop/radio song of each damn album. I honestly don't like it but we'll see what the rest of the song is like. Exactly my point. And not her throwing shade at her old labels that forced her to ditch guitars and drums and then releasing a song that’s overly produced with anything but instruments. It doesn’t make sense at all. It’s like she made this song to fit Bear and not the other way around. What a mess. Even Dumb Blonde with Nicki was made to fit Avril and not the other way around. I get that MGK had to do collabs like these in his TTMD album to please his hip-hop/rap fans, but Avril? Why on earth would she do something like that? Trying to appease radio again when she’s been having an “i don’t care about radio charts or trends” attitude since the era started while flipping the bird to RCA/Epic? What’s that all about? I know some will say “we’ve only heard like 20 seconds”, but even that build and that small intro to the chorus gives away that it will be something like Bigger Wow or worthy of her self-titled album (the Johnson tracks , even worse)…

I would actually love the guitar as the back cover, but they’re sort of randomly scattered on the guitar, so how would people actually tell the order of the tracklist? Lol

The snippet sounds dread awful. The autotune, the beats and artificial sounds. Hadn’t she ditched all of this for this album? Ugh. I’ll wait for the full track, but right now it seems like it’s going to be her worse single/promo song.

I don't think they ever confirmed the balloons spelled out BITE ME, only that it had a red background, black balloons and her wearing boots and a leather skirt. So the rumors were accurate. However, they did say the title was Bite Me, so I wonder how long ago she changed it. She has to send the copies for printing for release next month, and that usually takes weeks, so who knows? Maybe she sent out a preliminary cover/album title to the labels/distributors even though she hadn't decided on the album title yet.

On first glance, I love this album cover!! So much better than the AL and HAW ones, BY FAR. I think this could end up being my favorite after the UMS one. Avril needs to make a post now, girl come on!

I think I know why she’s using those pics. The album pre-order is right around the corner. Either she announces it tomorrow or Friday. So the song will come out along with the album cover and that’s what you’ll see on streaming services. Many artists do that nowadays. Instead of a single cover, they just use the album cover along with pre-order.

Ok so no single cover meaning it’s not even a single. She’ll just release it as a promo track. Wonder when we’ll get the actual second single then…

I'm pretty sure the new song will be my least favorite song from the album, only because I have a feeling it will sound like an outsider, just like DB did in HAW. It will break the consistency of the album and I hate when that happens. But as it will most likely be a promo single to go with the pre-order, I'm not too worried about it. I doubt we'll even get a music video for this. She must be saving it for the MGK collab next month probably.

Do you think she could announce the album tomorrow, saying that this feat is coming on Friday? I think she should do both together - drop the single with the album pre-order. But she can officially announce the single on her socials tomorrow 🙂 In February, with the album, they’ll most likely announce the US tour. The leaked song snippet has been confirmed to be an old one from like 10 years ago, so it's not the collab with bear. Confirmed by whom, because you can clearly hear the title there. The one thing saying it’s not the single is a fact nobody took it down but also leaking this days before the release make sense because the song must be on internal Warner’s catalogue already. I wish it isn’t the one, though. People on ATRL who have had access to leaks before and have confirmed other tracks are in circulation. We cannot actually believe this is the new song lol. It's a demo and it clearly sounds old. I'm not saying TBDT or GL. It could be from AL, but definitely not AL6 or AL7.

So I want to be honest: if nobody in Italy knows MGK, trust me that even less people here know Bear 😂 But, according to Spotify, he's very big Yeah but Drake is also featured among the top 15 most streamed artists on Spotify and nobody outside of the US listens to him. This shows how Spotify is dominated by the US streaming market by far.

Honestly, he's a nobody compared to MGK. If she's trying to push to mainstream radio, this will be another flop under her catalogue. Honestly, who even knows blackbear outside the US?
This will be the typical forced hit single, I bet. Eh, at least we know it will be the only song on the album like that. She already stated it was super different, so I think we can confirm it will be a pretty poppy one.

The way she’s handling this era better than her last 3 eras is superb. I am HIGHLY impressed by how good the scheduling is.

I wonder what that classic rock album was like. I bet that’s what she and Pete had been working on during 2020. It’s still odd, since in 2019 she said she wanted to do a pop-punk album on the Zach Sang show.
Maybe after the breakup, she scrapped the whole idea and went back to her original vision from 2019.

I'm a little upset we're not getting a ballad as a closing track as always. I know that it gives a new twist to things, but we've already lost the logos, and the ballad as the final track was a nice tradition in all of her albums. It's sad to see it break.
I wonder why she hasn't announced anything yet. It's only a matter of time before the cover leaks, she should be very well-aware Amazon has revealed both album title and tracklist. I hope we get it this week. Besides, if it's coming out on Feb 25th, we need that pre-order asap.
