Bea Miller wanted to make more than love songs. With her new EP elated!, the New Jersey-born singer sought to make her most honest body of work yet — getting personal, political and remaining as ferocious as ever. elated! — the seven-song project — has been in the works for more than two years.
While much of Miller’s previous work featured a handful of love/love-gone-wrong-based songs, elated! — the first project since her 2018 sophomore album aurora — was an opportunity for the singer to address more pressing issues and use her platform to be more raw and honest about the details of her personal life. From addressing family issues to taking on Trump, Miller doesn’t shy away from making bold statements.
On “hallelujah,” Miller’s opinions about the Trump administration and her personal life spill out. Throughout the dark-pop track, Miller battles her own anger about political tumult and trying to make the world a better place while ultimately resigning that maybe it doesn’t matter because widespread disaster feels imminent and unstoppable. “Should I say hallelujah? Maybe that’ll save me /Maybe that’ll save me /Nothing, nothing can save us now,” Miller croons over a gospel-tinged chorus.
Miller enters new territory with the haunting “self crucify,” her first power ballad, acknowledging her constant loneliness and how removed she feels from other people — something that sometimes prompts her to leave parties early. She also reaches peak vulnerability as her quivering vocals tackle the relationship she has with her estranged mother who stole her money: “I had to leave one of my mammas/Cus of my money that she stole /And if you can’t trust your mother /I guess you’re better on your own.”
Teaming up with friend and songwriter Kennedi Lykken, she penned the sparse, but playful “making bad decisions,” which reveals Miller’s burning desire to at times be destructive — sometimes to help her art and other times out of boredom. Despite the consequences of acting impulsively, it’s a part of who she is: “My favorite hobby, self-sabotage/Can never seem to make my mind up.” While not a love song for someone else, Miller waxes poetic on her love of Mother Earth on “i never wanna die.” The slowburning track recalls her time spent at a writing camp in France a few years back, recalling the liberating feeling of being in new surroundings and feeling an intense appreciation for life. Miller channels Gwen Stefani’s vocals on the euphoric chorus: “Cause you’re so fuckin special /And I don’t wanna let go.”
Miller meditates on the lost innocence of her childhood on the lush “wisdom teeth.” She recalls a time when she was four years old, staring at herself in the mirror in her tutu during her dance recital. “I used to be so happy/No matter what happened to me/But when they pulled my teeth out /Lost the wisest part,” she sings over bouncy synths. Also featured on the EP “FEEL SOMETHING DIFFERENT,” an up-tempo and hypnotic new take of her viral hit “feel something” featuring rapper Aminé.
At only 21, Miller has garnered more than 1.7 billion streams to date. Her previous projects include aurora (2018) and the gold-selling single “like that”; three EPs released throughout 2017; and her (2015) debut album, which charted top 10 on the Billboard 200 and featured two gold-selling hit singles. Miller has collaborated with NOTD on the global dance hit “I WANNA KNOW,” (amassing over 239 million global streams on Spotify and nearly 20 million video views to date), and Jeremy Zucker on “comethru.” Last year, she also teamed up with Jessie Reyez on “FEELS LIKE HOME,” 6lack on “it’s not u it’s me” and UK duo Snakehips’ on “NEVER GONNA LIKE YOU.” In 2019, she headlined her first tour, “nice to meet u,” selling out venues across North America. She made her festival debuts at Lollapalooza, Firefly, Outside Lands, Bumbershoot, Life is Beautiful and Austin City Limits among others. Bea wrapped up the year with a second successful headline tour, “sunsets in outerspace,” which not only hit venue across North American but took her to Europe, making stops in London, Paris, Amerstdam, and Berlin.

Bea Miller shares her new music video for “FEEL SOMETHING DIFFERENT” watch it here. The new collaboration from Miller and critically acclaimed rapper Aminé is featured on Bea’s latest EP elated! out now. “FEEL SOMETHING DIFFERENT” is a hypnotic new take on Miller’s viral hit “feel something” released last summer. The original track has amassed nearly 200 million streams and its official video has 13 million views, while also becoming a TikTok hit, with 4 billion video views and over 1.5 million TikTok video creations to date.
The “FEEL SOMETHING DIFFERENT” video is an experiment in what living through the pandemic in the 1990’s would be like. Its characters try to stay connected in a pre-internet world, which ultimately exposes themes of loneliness, boredom and vulnerability. Much the like the song’s upbeat tempo is juxtaposed by its candid lyrics, the video is drenched in color while conveying a more subdued sense of longing and alienation.
Director Gina Gizella Manning explains, “Working on this video with Bea was seamless – her passion, talent and drive inspires every part of this collaboration. When we had our first meeting about “elated!” pre-covid we were both really drawn to finding a middle ground between reality and ‘surreality.’ And ironically since the pandemic, this year has really had us drawing inward and seeking help and acceptance from the inside, out. With our use of practical effects we worked to create a world that dissociates reality from mentality. What is real? What is perceived?”
Manning has also directed the videos for “hallelujah” and “forever is a lie” with more videos on the way. The connectivity between all of the new videos from elated! was intentional, with the striking clips reflecting the fearless nature of Bea’s bold new music as she continues to show her talents as a vocalist and songwriter.
Tickets are available now for “Bea Miller Presents the elated! Experience Recorded Live in Los Angeles” on December 12; purchase here. The special event follows her recent return to the stage earlier this month for Save Our Stages, #SOSFest, the three day virtual festival from YouTube Music and the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) to help save independent venues across the U.S. Watch Bea’s electric live set from the show here.

You cut through my legs through my heart just to get another piece of me. The only thing I’m serving are facts but nobody wants those no more.” “forever is a lie” was co-written by Bea and frequent collaborators Mike Sabath (Lizzo, Selena Gomez) and Justin Tranter (Ariana Grande, Gwen Stefani).

(November 5, 2020) Acclaimed singer-songwriter Bea Miller has released the official video for “hallelujah” today from her new EP, elated! out now.
Directed by Gina Gizella Manning, the video is a raw and intimate accompaniment to the dark-pop track that finds Miller spilling her opinions about the Trump administration and her personal life as she sings:
“How am I supposed to work on myself / When there are Nazis in a big White House /
Seems ridiculous to live in hell /But I guess that’s what we’re doing now /
Maybe I should see a therapist but the apocalypse is probably gonna take us out”
Miller battles her own anger about the political tumult while still trying to make the world a better place, ultimately resigning herself to the fact that maybe it doesn’t matter because widespread disaster feels imminent and unstoppable. (WATCH HERE)

(October 23, 2020) Bea Miller, called a “force of nature” (PAPER Magazine), released her new EP, elated!, today. The seven-song project is her most honest body of work yet as she gets more personal and political while remaining as ferocious as ever as demonstrated on the dark-pop opener “hallelujah.” Battling her anger about the current political tumult she sings:
How am I supposed to work on myself / When there are Nazis in a big White House
Seems ridiculous to live in hell /But I guess that’s what we’re doing now
Maybe I should see a therapist but the apocalypse is probably gonna take us out
I don’t really like the way that sounds but it’s too late now / I might need help
And on the previous released “wisdom teeth,” featured as one of Billboard’s “10 Cool New Pop Songs,” she meditates on the lost innocence of her childhood as she sings:
I don’t know I don’t know how to get her back / I don’t know where she go where she go go
Why am I so stupid / Used to be so smart / When they pulled my teeth out / Lost the wisest part
I used to be so happy / No matter what happened to me / But when they pulled my teeth out Lost the wisest part
elated! is the first body of work Miller’s released since her 2018 sophomore album aurora, and follows a whirlwind year in 2019 that saw her team up with Jessie Reyez on “FEELS LIKE HOME,” with 6lack on “it’s not u it’s me,” and release “feel something” which has since become a viral hit in 2020 garnering over 192 million streams while becoming a fan favorite on TikTok where to date it’s amassed over 3.4 billion video views and over 1.3 million video creations in part thanks to the “Euphoria Makeup Challenge.”

Her previous projects include aurora (2018) and the gold-selling single “like that”; three EPs released throughout 2017; and her 2015 debut LP, which charted top 10 on the Billboard 200 and featured two gold-selling hit singles.

SHARES NEW TRACK AND MUSIC VIDEO
“NEVER GONNA LIKE YOU” WITH PLATINUM-SELLING UK DUO SNAKEHIPS
(Download high-res images here)
Upcoming Festivals Include Life Is Beautiful, Austin City Limits & Voodoo
Fall Headlining “sunsets in outerspace” Tour Announced
(Sept. 20, 2019) “Force of nature” (Paper Magazine)Bea Miller shares her latest track and music video, “NEVER GONNA LIKE YOU,”with UK duo Snakehips (The Weeknd, Anderson Paak, ChanceThe Rapper), out today via Hollywood Records. Stream/download “NEVER GONNA LIKEYOU” HERE and watch the music video HERE. In addition to consistently releasing dynamic new music, Bea will continue lighting up stages at high-profile festivals including Life is Beautiful(9/20), Austin City Limits(10/6) and Voodoo(10/25), followed by her extensive European/U.S. headlining “sunsets in outerspace”tour kicking off later this month. In this new phase of her evolving career, Bea Miller continues to demonstrate her maturity as both artist and songwriter, while achieving worldwide streams in excess of over one billion.
“NEVER GONNA LIKE YOU,”gets under the listeners’ skin with Bea’s soulful, sultry vocals set against a catchy electronic backdrop and infectious chorus that builds and repeats. Snakehips produced the track, along with Alex Raymond, working their magic that results in an undeniably catchy ear worm. Lyrically“NEVER GONNA LIKE YOU”addresses evolving relationships and perspectives on the people in your life, “yeah we used to be friends, now you’re acting different, tell me that you need me like you used to…” The video was directed by Emmet Kilmer, with co-direction by Bea, notably her second time directing her own video behind the camera versus a starring role in front. The storylines intersect, with vignettes that tackle insecurities, flaws and self-loathing, but the protagonists ultimately recognize that life is not as empty as it may sometimes feel.
Bea explains, “this song is about one person, but I wanted to make the video about everyone. I think we all go through phases of believing that if the rest of the world could see who we really are, they wouldn’t like us. We compare our own lives to others but forget that when we do that we’re only seeing a small portion, not necessarily who someone really is and what they are going through.”
Snakehips are the latest in an impressive succession of artistically compelling collaborations for Bea. She recently released “FEELS LIKE HOME,”with Jessie Reyez which quickly racked up 2.5 million YouTube views and more than 3 million Spotify streams. Nylon described the track as “encapsulating the feeling of cuddling with your partner on a fall night,” while Substream raved, “her voice could make anyone fall in love in a heartbeat.” The video was directed by Phillip Soulliere, and co-directed by Bea (her first directorial turn), and follows parallel stories of a lesbian couple and a Polyamorous couple through various stages of their relationships; watch it here. “it’s not u it’s me,” her critically acclaimed collaboration with the Grammy-nominated 6LACK has garnered over 30 million streams; watch the music video here. Bea was also featured on Jeremy Zucker’s “comethru,” and NOTD’s “I WANNA KNOW,” the latter tallying 189 million global streams and 17 million video views; watch it here. Miller’s most recent solo track “feel something,”was released last month, watch the video here.

(August 15, 2019) Bea Miller shares the new music video for her latest track, “feel something,” watch it here. The video, directed by Pilar Zeta, portrays a fictitious future world where emotion is hard to come by due to personal disconnection from technology. Bea becomes a patient at “Feeling Therapy Inc,” where various techniques are used to activate dormant emotions. Viewers are left wondering if what unfolds is all in Bea’s mind or based in reality. As she goes through different methodologies including color and light therapy, self-reflection therapy, image and finally pain therapy, Bea eventually tries to escape through a door leading her to nature, but ultimately finds herself back where she started.
“I wanted to capture how numb we are to the speed at which we and our planet are falling apart. It’s easier to ignore it than face it, but I’m afraid for the future,” shares Bea Miller.
Upon the release of “feel something,” Pop Sugar said they have been “spreading the gospel of Bea Miller” and raved about the track saying it’s “perfect for a chill or party mix, and the introspective lyrics about falling in love will have you playing it on repeat.” “feel something” was co-written by Bea, Justin Tranter (Gwen Stefani, Kelly Clarkson, Fall Out Boy), Kennedi Lykken (Jonas Brothers, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa) and Mike Sabath (Liam Payne, J Balvin, French Montana), and was also produced by Sabath. Sabath and Tranter recently worked with Miler on “it’s not u it’s me,” her critically acclaimed collaboration with the Grammy-nominated artist 6lack. In this new phase of her evolving career, Bea continues to demonstrate her maturity as both artist and songwriter. In a recent profile, Paper Magazine stated, “Miller’s songs take an optimistic but ferocious approach to how it feels and what it means to be a young woman in 2019.” Bustle also commented Bea is “hitting her momentum in the music game,” while Nylon noted, “like an ultraviolet ray, Miller’s rise into 2019 can’t be eclipsed.”
Bea’s dynamic live performances have been lighting up the stages of numerous high-profile festivals, including her most recent appearances at Outside Lands, Osheaga and Lollapalooza, where Billboard commented on the “wild crowd reaction” she received. With additional festival slots upcoming including Bumbershoot, Voodoo and Life Is Beautiful, Bea also announced an extensive fall headlining tour, “sunsets in outerspace” starting in the UK/Europe in September, followed by U.S. shows kicking off October 6 in Austin, Texas. Kah-Lo will be supporting Bea on the tour, with additional new dates in Houston, Dallas and Berkley just announced.

But weirdly that pain is kind of what makes you feel like a real person, so when nothing is going wrong but it’s also not going right and you’re just in the middle, you feel empty.

BEA MILLER & 6LACK SHARE NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR
“it’s not u it’s me”
Watch Here
Acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Bea Miller, along with the Grammy-nominated artist 6lack, sharethe music video for theirnew single, “it’s not u it’s me,” out via Hollywood Records. The strikingly stylized video was directed byPilar Zeta and Jimmy Edgar, and portrays Bea braving the new world from her sleekly designed abode. Through the course of the clip, she learns the powerful lessons of self-love and awareness. She enters a dream world through a meditation device, and through sleep, daydreams and simply being alone with her thoughts, her confidence grows as she finds her true self. 6lack later appears as a mysterious angelic figure that confirms Bea’s intuition that she can and should love herself. The imagery is reflective of the empowering lyrical message of the song.
“I wanted this video to represent that learning to respect and prioritize yourself comes through trial and error, but also that in order to do that you can’t take yourself too seriously. It’s difficult not to be self-critical if you can’t laugh at your mistakes, which is why this video is so playful while also hopefully still getting the point of the lyrics across,” says Bea.
Bea recently chatted with Bustle, who raved about the new track and how Bea “takes on self-care in a powerfully unique way.” Read the feature here . Since the release of “it’s not u it’s me,” the single has amassed over twelve million streams, along with critical notices including Complex who commented 6lack fans were “blessed” with the track, and Earmilk who raved, “At about a minute in, when Miller lines up her vocals with the staccato of her background track, the effect leaves you clutching onto her every word.” “it’s not u it’s me,” was co-written by 6lack, Justin Tranter (Kelly Clarkson, Fall Out Boy) and Mary Weitz, and produced by Mike Sabath (Liam Payne, J Balvin, French Montana).
“it’s not u it’s me” is the first in a series of notable new tracks Bea will be releasing over the coming months. Later this month, she embarks on her first-ever headlining tour – the “nice to meet u tour” – kicking off April 23 (see dates below). Most shows quickly sold out after being announced, including stops in New York City at the Bowery Ballroom on May 1 and the Roxy in Los Angeles on May 14, among other major cities. Bea will also be performing at major festivals including Lollapalooza, Firefly, Outside Lands and Osheaga. The young vocalist is a force of nature and a dynamic live performer coming into her own during this exciting phase of her artistic growth.
At the young of age 20, Miller has achieved impressive milestones, including worldwide streams in excess of over one billion. Paper Magazine included her in their “Predictions: 100 People Taking Over 2019,” and also named her one of “100 Women Revolutionizing Pop.” In addition to her own previous releases including aurora (2018), her best-selling 2015 debut, Not An Apology, and three EPs (2017), she was featured on NOTD’s dance hit, “I WANNA KNOW,” which amassed over 160 million global streams on Spotify, and nearly 15 million video views; watch the video here.

(March 1, 2019) Acclaimed vocalist and songwriter Bea Miller, along with the Grammy-nominated artist 6lack, have shared their infectious new single, “it’s not u it’s me,”out today via Hollywood Records. Stream “it’s not u it’s me” here and download here. Idolator predicted the empowering track, “promises to be something of a reinvention,” and is the first in a series of bold new songs Bea will be releasing this year with additional notable collaborators to be announced. This new music marks the evolution of the “punchy and self-possessed” (TheFader)singer, displaying her mature artistic growth and authenticity. In support of the new single and others to follow, Bea will embark on her first-ever headlining tour; the “nice to meet u tour,”kicks off April 23 (complete itinerary below).

The new single oozes self-confidence, with empowering lyrics laced over an irresistible dance hook.
Bea comments, “I think sometimes it’s easy to lose yourself in other people; to do things for, and with them that don’t represent who you are. There will always need to be compromise but this song is about crossing the line between helping someone else, and hurting yourself, and recognizing that when you can’t be who you’re supposed to be around a specific person, it’s time to prioritize yourself.”
