Madison Beer’s Bittersweet Release
Madison Beer returns to the spotlight with her emotionally charged new single, Bittersweet.

Swapping the bold confidence of her dance tracks for an introspective, vulnerable tone, this song confirms Beer’s strength in navigating complex feelings. It’s a delicate, relatable track and an essential listen for anyone finding peace at the end of a relationship.
