• Beabadoobee's "Take A Bite" is a raw and introspective look at her inner world. Beatrice Laus, the real name behind the silky vocals, peels back the layers, exposing a cycle of negativity that she finds strangely reassuring.
  
  "It's me feeling introspective about my thoughts and unhealthy way of living," she said. "It's finding comfort in a familiar place -finding comfort in chaos, because that's what I know."
  
  This "chaos" isn't some abstract concept. Beabadoobee describes it as "tapping into this part of my brain where I just jump straight to the most negative, most chaotic thought ever known to man and make and make that into my reality." It's a brutal honesty that cuts deep.
• Produced by pop guru Rick Rubin alongside Beabadoobee's longtime collaborator Jacob Bugden, the song was recorded at Rubin's Shangri-La Studios in Malibu.
• The official music video, directed by Beabadoobee's photographer boyfriend Jake Erland, adds another layer to the song's complexity. We see Beabadoobee casually strolling through the city, a picture of high-fashion cool. But as day turns to night, things take a turn for the bizarre.
• "Take A Bite" is the lead single from Beabadoobee's third album, This Is How Tomorrow Moves. She told The Guardian that while her previous albums, 2020's Fake It Flowers and 2022's Beatopia, saw her "blaming everyone around me for the way I am today," This Is How Tomorrow Moves sees her "acknowledging my own fault in it."
• This Is How Tomorrow Moves landed at #1 on the UK albums chart, becoming the first chart-topper of Beabadoobee's career. She previously reached #8 with 2020's Fake It Flowers and #4 with 2022's Beatopia.
