Listening to a song by BIZZY is like taking a peek into her diary. Her latest single, "Default Setting," utilizes her signature introspective lyricism and gripping production to spin a tale of love and heartbreak. The track opens with a moody, atmospheric beat that immediately sets the tone, drawing listeners into BIZZY’s world of complex relationships. We all have that one person we can’t quite forget, even amidst the thrill of new romances. BIZZY explains, “‘Default Setting’ captures that emotional journey of trying to move on from a past love you can’t seem to shake and the self-reflection that accompanies it.”
To say that 2023 was a big year for BIZZY would be an understatement. Last year, she was signed to Big Loud Rock, toured the US, and released her highly anticipated EP “I Don’t Get Breakups”. Her honesty and cultivation of intimacy through lyricism earned her a reputation as an artist who does not shy away from the hard truths of love. This pattern has continued into 2024 with her most recent release, “Default Setting.” BIZZY is a storyteller at heart, capturing complex emotions or situations and turning them into relatable songs. “Default Setting” starts out soft and contemplative, discussing BIZZY’s new experiences in love since her past relationship ended. However, there is an immediate shift when she admits that she cannot escape the person she used to love. BIZZY writes, “I’ve talked to three guys since we dated, but you’re the default setting in my head, can’t forget it.” The production builds and reflects her frustration at being drawn back to the person she is trying so hard to escape. The climax of the song is when BIZZY cries, “I don’t wanna love you…oh god I think I love you.” This realization is a vulnerable moment and brings the song back to how it began, subdued and thoughtful. “Default Setting” is an emotional journey, revealing BIZZY deepest secrets about the person she loves. The track that accompanies these heartbreaking lyrics is tortured and explosive. BIZZY skillfully weaves her signature storytelling with masterful production to tell the story of her “Default Setting.”
Along with the song, BIZZY also released an accompanying music video. This video shows her being unable to look away from TV screens replaying memories from her relationships. She becomes increasingly upset, haunted by the person she cannot forget. Unable to change the channel, she is forced to stare at the men she tried to move on with and the relationship to which she kept returning. It is a poignant reflection of the song’s storytelling and a great visual representation of BIZZY’s turmoil. Through the music video for “Default Setting,” it is clear how much this one relationship controls and captivates her. BIZZY’s latest single, “Default Setting,” is yet another testament to her talent as both a songwriter and a storyteller. With its evocative production and raw, introspective lyrics, the song offers a profound exploration of love, heartbreak, and the struggle to move on from a past relationship. BIZZY’s ability to translate her personal experiences into universally relatable themes is a hallmark of her artistry, and this track is no exception.
