Alt-pop doesn’t always come with an edge this sharp—or a heart this raw. BIZZY, the Nashville-based artist who has been steadily turning heartbreak into fuel, is stepping into a new chapter, leading the charge is her biting new single, “Make Me Cry”, a sarcastic yet devastating anthem for anyone caught in the push-pull of a toxic cycle.
Fresh off a national tour supporting Rachel Chinouriri, BIZZY isn’t softening her stance—she’s sharpening it. “Make Me Cry” strips down to just her voice and an acoustic guitar before exploding into a synth-driven storm, embodying the chaos of emotional relapse. Produced by Ian Walsh and co-written with Ryan Marronne and Jules Paymer, the track doubles down on what fans already know: BIZZY thrives where vulnerability and pop theatrics collide.
Lauded by TMRW, 1883 Magazine, V Magazine, and The Line of Best Fit, BIZZY has built her reputation on gut-punch storytelling and fearless delivery. If her debut made us lean in, this track demands we stay put. It’s melodrama with bite, heartbreak with a smirk, and a reminder that even in the wreckage, BIZZY finds a hook that lingers.
We caught up with BIZZY to talk toxic love loops, touring revelations, and why Make Me Cry might just be her boldest statement yet.
Make Me Cry” feels like begging for one last sting before letting go—what inspired you to frame heartbreak in such a sarcastic, melodramatic way?
Yup exactly! I was driving my car one day and it broke down. Of course I looked like crap and had to walk to my sister’s house in the hot sun, so I’m SWEATINGGGG. Who do I see running across the road looking like a GOD? My ex. We stopped and talked for a little, and he was all of a sudden so sweet and hot. I left the convo WISHING he had been a jerk so it would be easy to be like “heck yea, bye! So glad we’re not together…” but NOPE.
Your songs often swing between quiet intimacy and explosive chaos—do you feel more at home whispering secrets or screaming them out loud?
Yeah, I have no middle. I’m either jumping up and down, or crying my eyes out. It’s so tough to say which is more home to me. I would say the screaming one probably, because that’s kind of my default. It’s just so much more fun to be dancing around singing on stage than to be sitting still and being sad.
Touring with Rachel Chinouriri must’ve been eye-opening—what did you take away from being on the road with her, both as an artist and as a person?
It was truly the best tour I’ve been on so far. I learned so much. As an artist I learned how to take a breath on stage. When Rachel gets up on stage she is so incredibly present. She doesn’t rush or blur past her stories, she takes in every moment. Watching her each night I started to try that myself, instead of feeling like it was a race on stage. I started to really take in each moment and be present during each song. I learned that I’m stronger than I think. During the tour, there were a lot of really hard things going on in my personal life, so I was having to navigate how to get on stage and let go of what was going on behind the scenes.
Vulnerability is your sharpest weapon—was there a moment in your writing where you thought, this is too raw to share, or do you thrive in oversharing?
It’s funny, I’ve been asked that before, and I always say no. The more honest I am, the more I like the song. It’s like a little piece of my soul.
The chorus of “Make Me Cry” hits like an emotional relapse—do you see music as a way of healing from heartbreak, or more as a way of reliving it with purpose?
For sure healing. It’s how I process. Writing reveals so much to me – It allows me to work things out aloud that I may have not understood or processed in the moment.
You’ve earned praise for both your powerful vocals and your biting one-liners—when you sit down to write, which usually comes first: the melody or the punchline?
Wow, thank you! They usually come at the same time because it’s all so combined in my brain. If I don’t like the melody I won’t like the lyric, because they have to fit together and lend to one another.
Your sound blurs the line between alt-pop and raw confession—how do you navigate making songs that are both catchy anthems and deeply personal diaries?
I wish I had a really smart answer for this but honestly I just write how I’m feeling and I think because it all comes from me it somehow all makes sense together.
