Nessa Barrett has released a brand-new single and video, BANG BANG!

The punky new song from the rising pop star follows last year’s debut album young forever, and sees Nessa opening up in a very dark way indeed: ‘I got your name on a list and a target on your back / And I’ll blow a little kiss to your mommy and your dad,’ she sings. ‘I’ll tell them you fell when I pushed you off the roof / I’ll send you to hell and your new bitch too.’

The singer explains: “The song was written about my borderline personality rage. There are times where I just get so mad that I think about the craziest things I want to do in that moment, I feel like everyone deep down has intrusive thoughts even though they don’t want to admit it.”

You can catch Nessa on the road at her first-ever North American headline tour this month and next. She’ll hit the UK later this year for Reading & Leeds.
