Meet “Messy Girl,” your next pop obsession. Behind this fierce new release is rising British artist Bettina BCB, who blends elements of electronic, R&B, and pop to craft a sound that nods to the early 2000s while still feeling urgent and current.
“Messy Girl” bursts with furious, high-energy vocals layered over a rhythm that never lets up, and the chorus, where Bettina sings, “I can be your Messy Girl!”, hits like both a taunt and an invitation.
Bettina explains that the single is her “clapback to the gossip mill.” Tired of hearing rumors about herself, she leaned into the idea of being a so-called “messy girl,” turning it into something empowering and explosive. She wanted to channel that chaos into a track that people could dance to, one meant for those wild, end-of-summer nights when nothing matters but going all in.
“Messy Girl” feels like it could have easily landed on a classic early-2000s compilation album, the kind that introduced listeners to new stars; only this time, Bettina wouldn’t just be one name among many, she’d be the headline act.
Guided early on by legendary production duo Stargate in Los Angeles and supported by A&R veteran Chris Anokute, Bettina has already begun building serious momentum. Her first three singles received international indie press coverage and radio play, including spins on iHeart Radio, while her single “Whoopsie Daisy” premiered on BBC Introducing.
Bettina BCB is just getting started, but it’s already obvious she’s a name that’s going to stick. The music scene better watch out, because she’s coming with everything she’s got.
