Finding out you're someone's second choice is a hard pill to swallow, leaving you with a plethora of strong emotions that are difficult to navigate. It leaves you wondering whether you'll ever be their first choice or why you're not good enough for them. SLAJER captures this pain and frustration in his addictive new single, "side bitch." The track is a vulnerable LGBTQ+ alt-pop banger, telling the story of SLAJER breaking his back to please someone who will never reciprocate or appreciate the effort. "side bitch" gives listeners a raw look into the singer's psyche, shedding light on what it's like to care for someone who only takes but never gives.
Mysterious and moody, "side bitch" is a genre-bending masterpiece as SLAJER blends elements of dark-pop, electronica, alt-pop, alt-rock, and pop-punk. The intoxicating track is cathartic as SLAJER's arresting vocals release his pent-up frustration over being an option for someone rather than their first choice. SLAJER is accompanied by a brooding, aggressive soundscape comprised of heavy synths, infectious dance beats, and face-melting guitar riffs. Channeling some inspiration from pop icons, "side bitch" is perfect for fans of Adam Lambert, Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, and Troye Sivan.
