Nashville’s Be Your Own Pet return with the raucous new single, ‘What a B*tch,’ available now via Third Man Records. The official music video for the track is also available, which was made in collaboration with Third Man labelmate Blair Tramel of Snooper.
“’What A B*tch’ is an anthem for anyone who has ever been labeled too much, too loud, too brash, just because they dare to be themselves,” explains vocalist Jemina Pearl Abegg. “My daughter got called a ‘bitch’ by a classmate for the first time this year and was devastated by it. I told her every woman I love and respect has been called that and worse just for existing, so reclaim it and wear it as a badge of honor. That inspired me to take all the insults I’ve received over the years and turn them into a source of power instead. This song is my rally cry for all the so-called ‘bitches.’ I love us!”
On the experience of working with Blair Tramel of Snooper on the music video, Pearl Abegg says, “Blair Tramel has been a dear friend for many years, and her creativity has always inspired me so much! It was great to have a project we could finally collaborate on and the ideas just kept pouring out of both of us. I’m so thankful to have her unique vision and talents turn my silly idea into a real music video.”
