Bella Poarch Makes a Sweet Pop Statement With “Sweet Delusion”


When Bella Poarch emerged as a TikTok sensation, there was truly no path in the entertainment industry that didn’t open up to her—the world became her oyster, and her talents were in high demand. She has chosen to pursue music in the most serious and professional way, and her new single, “Sweet Delusion,” is a declaration of that intent.

The song, an indie-pop garden of brightly colored harmonies and gritty bass undertones, explores the concept of a love overdose and the blurred effects of its fumes. With a sense of peril and pressure in the dynamic drumbeat that drives it, the track moves from verse to chorus with sweet pauses that highlight Poarch’s delicate yet resonant vocals.

It’s those moments of knowing when to pause and when to let the composition run that give “Sweet Delusion” a mature musical edge, showcasing a desire to bring writing and production to the highest level. Lucas Sim (co-writer/producer), Christina Galligan (co-writer), and Skyler Stonestreet (co-writer) stand alongside Poarch in this effort.

The music video for the single, directed by Christina Xing, adds another layer of professionalism, with a story arc reminiscent of Gwen Stefani’s iconic “Cool” music video. The acting is on point, and the visuals symbiotically enhance the emotions and themes of the song from start to finish.

In all of this, Poarch has crafted a song that transcends its release window, becoming a must-listen music for 2024 and beyond. Her raw talent, paired with a professional team, brings her vision to life. The mission is a success, and it serves as a bold announcement that Poarch is ready to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with pop’s rising stars.
