POLLY sinks her teeth into unapologetically emotional electro pop banger, 'B.I.T.E ME'

Melbourne/Naarm’s POLLY unleashes unapologetic emotion on latest single ‘B.I.T.E ME’, which is also a pointed glance into the edgy side of her upcoming EP, ‘Daddy Issues’, which is out on Friday July 18.

Having reached listeners in over 116 countries, POLLY is making a name for herself with her commanding performances and vast musical prowess in piano, guitar, and delivering powerful vocals. 

Together with a world-class team — including producer Liam Quinn (Ruel, Peach PRC), Brent Kolatalo (19 Grammy nominations), and mastering engineer Chris Gehringer (Dua Lipa, Selena Gomez, Tove Lo) — POLLY delivers shimmering, club-lit doses of pure electropop. With her fusion of lush sounds, raw lyricism, and hypnotic vocals, POLLY's music is the perfect companion for life’s hills and valleys, whether they’re dancing, driving, or screaming into a pillow. 

With ‘B.I.T.E ME’, POLLY turns heartbreak into a weapon — raw, sharp-edged, and cathartic as hell. There’s a well-exectured tension running through the track: a low, warbling bass that carries the weight of grief, countered by airy synths that seem to search for hope. POLLY’s vocal performance mirrors that duality — soft and exposed in the verses, like a bruise being prodded, before rising into distorted, sharpened choruses that bite back with venom.

It’s not just a break-up song — it’s a purge. A surge of spiky, emotional alt-pop that dares you to scream along in your most messed-up moments, then dance through them anyway. ‘B.I.T.E ME’ doesn’t ask for closure — it demands release.

With its pointed, corrosive lyrics and electric noise, 'B.IT.E ME' was sparked by the sting of seeing an ex with someone new, but transforms heartache into a post-breakup anthem of defiant rage and release. POLLY states:

“This song really helped the angry, f*ck you part of me heal. I hope people bop along to this song and also heal some trauma along the way.” 

With heavy, pounding drums pulsing beneath POLLY’s vocals and melodies, the refrain of ‘B.I.T.E, yeah, go bite me’ lingers in the forebrain like a bite mark on skin as her teeth-sinking edge is contrasted by the playful tone of POLLY’s voice for something truly sweet-and-sour. 

‘B.I.T.E ME’ offers just a taste of POLLY’s upcoming EP ‘Daddy Issues’, out July 18 — a raw and revealing journey through childhood wounds, adolescent chaos, and emotional healing, told through the lens of her relationships, art, and self-discovery.
