Bebe Rexha is good. She's feeling alright. Thanks for asking. Emboldened by the release of her first-ever UK Number 1 single with I'm Good (Blue) - a demo with David Guetta that was originally shelved, before going viral on TikTok in 2022 - Bebe is now ready to explore another world, fusing the Eurodance beats of her latest breakout hit, with a new interest in the soundscape of the 1970s.
New single Heart Wants What It Wants is the perfect example of this, a shuddering post-disco stomper co-written by pop queen Bonnie McKee (Teenage Dream) that sees Bebe back in Big Pop Girl mode. "I've done it all to numb the pain," she says. "Can't hold a candle in the rain." It's the perfect lead-in to Bebe's forthcoming, self-titled third studio album, which promises to be her most cohesively consistent record yet.
From collaborations with Dolly Parton ("every time I listen to her verse, I tear up") and Snoop Dogg (!) ("I was not expecting him to love it...but he did!"), Bebe is moving into the next stage of her career.
Her most confident yet. Jumping on a call with the pop icon herself, hear what she says about the new single, working with Bonnie McKee and what we can expect from her brand-new tour too.
