Lizzo Announces Album Bitch for June 5 Release

Lizzo announced her third studio album, titled Bitch, on April 27, her 38th birthday, with a release date set for June 5.

The 12-track project marks the Grammy winner's first full-length album since 2022's Special. It features her recent single Dont Make Me Love U, released last month, and the title track Bitch, scheduled for Friday along with an accompanying video. The title track interpolates Meredith Brooks' 1997 hit of the same name. Lizzo shared the cheeky cover art on Instagram, depicting her right hand flipping the bird but with a miniature version of herself in place of the middle finger. She captioned the post, Happy birthday to me! Wanna get me a gift? Preorder my album baby!!!!

Explaining the albums provocative title, Lizzo stated, Reclaiming the word Bitch is power its taking a label once used to diminish women and turning it into a declaration of confidence, and unapologetic selflove. So many incredible women in music have used the word for positivity like Meredith Brooks and Missy Elliot. It was only fitting to name my album Bitch because it has become my favorite word when using it on my own terms and because I am 100 that bitch!
