19-year-old London-based rising pop star Bea and her Business has us all in a daydream with the release of her new single "WOW!." The instant banger sees the singer-songwriter fantasize about the rush of a new crush and reaffirms Bea and her Business as an artist who can express a whirlwind of coming-of-age emotions within her instantly engaging pop earworms.
"WOW!" opens with Bea sharing her recent diagnosis as "a wet wipe" and discovering that she now harbors "unwanted feelings" for someone she hasn't "even touched yet" despite never knowing what love was. Thrumming bass lines and warm, buzzing guitar strums fill the air as she walks us through her blossoming feelings.
The track then bursts with sun-soaked joy as she proclaims her feelings to anyone who will listen, embracing the exhilaration and anticipation of suddenly being infatuated with a boy who looks "like a God in the middle of the street" but also the confusion that comes with not knowing what to do about it—all ensuring that Bea's self-deprecating humor will speak to anyone who has been through the same thing. The song effortlessly captures that feeling of butterflies fluttering in your stomach as it bursts from Bea's scene-setting verses into a joyously irresistible funk-fueled hook.
"I wrote this song at 17, at a time in my life where everything to do with falling in love was incredibly cringe and despicable, ha!" shares Bea about the song. "So I basically turned the whole song into a joke to mirror the fact that I thought I was a joke of a human being for lowkey falling in love with this guy I'd been seeing for 3 days, LOL! Hence the 'I'm a wetwipe' line. He dumped me soon after, but at least I got the song! This song is definitely for the people who think they're super badass and cold-hearted, but deep down, they're absolute suckers for a bit of romance."
The track follows February's single "Me Against My Head," a heartfelt ballad that finds Bea opening up her innermost insecurities for the world to see. Her vocal's exquisite, expressive tone dares to share vulnerabilities that so many people face, from body confidence issues to questions of self-doubt in social settings.
