BEX has unleashed a brand-new single and video, crybaby.

One of Kerrang!’s breaking artists to watch in 2025, the musician’s first new single of the year is “a representation of female oppression”.

“Throughout history women have been deemed the weaker sex and the property of men,” BEX explains. “This track explodes those ideas. With references to a Molotov Cocktail, crybaby represents the built-up rage exploding out of today’s women with the unjust still playing out all around them.

“In life, we can close our eyes to inequality and live blind and naive to the facts (the crybaby eye masks in the music video represent this). It can be easier to ignore the ‘little comments’; it can be easier to not ‘cause a scene’; it can be easier to just ‘not care’. This doesn’t make it right; this doesn't make it okay; this allows it to continue. It is our choice to remove the mask and fight back. You just have to be prepared for what you see.

“crybaby is about not letting go. It’s about holding that grudge with you every day and using it to fuel your mission, using it to make a difference.”
