Bellah Mae kicks off 2025 with “Bad Day To Be My Ex,” a fierce new single that redefines breakup pop.
British pop artist Bellah Mae opens a fearless new chapter with the release of “Bad Day To Be My Ex,” her first single of 2025. Known for blending vivid storytelling with mainstream pop punch, Bellah steps into the year with confidence, edge, and a sound that’s evolved just as much as she has.
Written in Nashville with Brigetta Truitt and produced by Brett Truitt, “Bad Day To Be My Ex” is sharp, slick, and unapologetically direct. “I’ve really learned that I don’t have to be too strong all the time — I can still be soft,” Bellah shares. “But if you break my heart… I’ll write an absolutely savage song about you.”
With a voice shaped by a childhood love for country storytelling and the polish of modern pop, Bellah’s rise has been steady and impressive—boasting over 100K streams, two sold-out UK tours, and a recent co-sign from Tate McRae.
Her 2024 EP Never Waste A Heartbreak leaned into introspection, but her 2025 releases promise something new: energetic, empowered, and unfiltered. “‘Bad Day To Be My Ex’ is me learning to give a couple of fucks less,” she explains.
The single even features a cheeky nod to her ‘90s inspirations: “Gen-Z Pamela Anderson.” As Bellah notes, “I love that Pamela has really taken control of her career… Same with Dolly Parton. These are powerhouse women.”
With “Bad Day To Be My Ex,” Bellah Mae continues to cement her voice as one of the most exciting in UK pop—one that’s learning, growing, and living louder.
