The singer also broke down some of the most meaningful lyrics on the track.
Lizzo had a lot to unpack on the lyrics of her layered new song, “Bitch,” which finds the singer reclaiming her voice and narrative — similar to how Taylor Swift did the same by re-releasing four of her older albums as part of her “Taylor’s Version” series.
And on a new episode of Genius Verified posted Friday (May 15), the Yitty founder noted that “Bitch,” which interpolates Meredith Brooks’ decades-old song of the same name, is somewhat similar to the Eras headliner’s re-releases. “Shout-out to Meredith Brooks,” Lizzo began. “I want the whole world to know that this is her record.”
“There were things that she said in the ’90s that worked,” she continued of Brooks’ original track. “I feel like that would’ve gotten lost in translation a little bit. I was like, ‘This is Lizzo’s version.'”
“You know how it’s like, ‘Taylor’s Version?'” she added with a smile. “It’s like, ‘Bitch (Lizzo’s Version).'”
