Multi-platinum singer/songwriter GAYLE is back today with her latest single “bite the bullet,” a playful, flirtatious track that finds the Grammy-nominated artist turning heartbreak into a night of fun. The new single arrives as GAYLE continues to build toward the release of her forthcoming full-length LP, Observing Chaos, which she co-wrote and co-produced and is due out on September 18.
At its core, “bite the bullet” was born from a period when GAYLE was experiencing the sting of a relationship ending. Rather than sitting in those feelings, she found herself going out, having fun, and embracing the rush of meeting someone new. That tension—between heartbreak and the thrill of impulsive attraction—became the foundation for the song.
“bite the bullet is an energetic pop song with punk/rock inspo that captures the feeling of meeting somebody and wanting to know everything about them! you don’t care if their past is pretty or ugly…if they have a bullet, you wanna bite it.” -GAYLE
Last month, GAYLE returned with the single “junebug!,” which earned widespread editorial support, followed by the intensely emotional, piano-anchored ballad “loving you is.” Having previously toured with industry titans including Taylor Swift, P!NK, and My Chemical Romance, GAYLE has spent the past few years finding her emotional center. Observing Chaos promises to be her most open and honest work to date, dissecting the mania and growth that define life between the ages of 17 and 21.
A 22-year-old Nashville-based artist, GAYLE is entering an exciting new era of her career. Following the global success of her double-platinum anthem “abcdefu,” she continues to solidify her fearless songwriting approach, proving she is a bold new voice in pop music.
