Yana Rose knows how to turn personal drama into a potential hit. Bitter is built for late-night parties, dance floors, and those moments when you’re holding a cocktail and suddenly remember you’re still annoyed at your ex. The track leans heavily into synth-pop influences, giving it a polished, radio-ready feel, but it keeps enough emotional sharpness to stand out from a sea of similar bangers.

The story behind Bitter is a classic case of “we’ll stay friends if things don’t work out.” Spoiler: nothing works out. Yana wrote the song after her best friend and his partner broke up, but instead of staying close, he shut her out completely. When she traveled to his city and tried to meet up, he refused.
Yana Rose has a way of blending mainstream appeal with personal storytelling, and Bitter is a perfect example of how sadness and a great beat can go hand in hand.
