"Bitches" (stylised in lowercase letters) is a song by Swedish singer Tove Lo from her third studio album, Blue Lips (2017). The official remix featuring Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Elliphant and Alma was released on 7 June 2018 as a single.[1]
On 28 October 2016, Lo released her second studio album, Lady Wood, which is split in two parts, "Fairy Dust" and "Fire Fade".[2] Two short films inspired by these two chapters were released on YouTube and Vevo. The first one, Fairy Dust, was released on 31 October 2016, three days after the album's release. It is based on the first six songs of the album; however, "Bitches", at that time titled "(What I Want for the Night) Bitches", was played during the film's end-credits scene.[3] A live version of the song was recorded and released on Spotify.[4] The singer also performed the song on her Lady Wood Tour.
The studio version of the song was later included on Lo's third album, Blue Lips, released on 17 November 2017.[5]
On 4 June 2018, Lo announced the remix of the song, featuring Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Elliphant and ALMA, which was released as the second single from Blue Lips on 7 June 2018, alongside the music video.[1][6]
The music video for "Bitches", directed by Broad City director Lucia Aniello, was released on 7 June 2018.[7] The video features Broad City actor Paul W. Downs and actress Jessy Hodges as a couple who go to the supergroup for training on how to spice up their sex life. The video shows the couple being applied with BDSM accessories, before educating them about various sex tips and the singers putting the couple in a cage to take a break to eat sushi takeout. The video ends with Downs' character showing what he has learned, ducking offscreen under his partner as the singers dance in a room with multicolored neon lights.[1][8]
