She went viral last year for her lip-syncing video to M to the B (a 2016 diss track by Blackpool artist Millie B), which has become the most-liked video on TikTok with half a billion views and over 49 million likes.

The Filipino-American singer – who pretty much came out of nowhere – is the third most followed person on TikTok, after Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae. Now, in 2021, Bella Poarch is on track to become this year’s defining star with her debut hit Build A Bitch.

While 2019 saw Lil Nas X break records with Old Town Road – which has become the longest-running number one single on Billboard’s Hot 100 – 2020 saw the mainstream breakthrough of indie artist Doja Cat. However, there’s no denying that the short-form app has given us some of the biggest pop stars this generation has to offer.

Poarch co-wrote the song with salem ilese, Sub Urban, David Arkwright, Elie Rizk, and Justin Gamella.Īn immensely well-known social creator, Poarch has gained particular fame on TikTok, where she boasts 67 million followers. “I hope it helps people to feel more confident and good about themselves, and also reminds them not to judge anyone else.” “‘Build a Bitch’ is about accepting yourself for who you are instead of listening to other people’s ideas of what you should do or how you should look,” says Poarch. “Build A Bitch” has spent the day on the YouTube “Trending For Music” chart it currently appears at #9 (but has actually received more views today than anything on the list).

The video officially surpassed 10 million views at 5:15PM ET - just a little more than 17 hours after its release. The buzz is particularly evident on YouTube, where the song’s visually striking music video has been posting big numbers. “Build A Bitch,” Bella Poarch’s debut single as a Warner Records artist, is generating a substantial amount of opening day buzz.
