TIHANE - Ain’t That A B!tch (Official Video)

TIHANE’s new single, Ain’t That A B!tch,” gives listeners an honest, no-holds-barred look at the heartbreak that often hides behind the glossy love songs we’re used to. Her unique blend of genres—soul, electronic, and future bounce—serves as a perfect backdrop to lyrics that refuse to sugarcoat the emotional wreckage of a breakup. The song’s hook, “Ain’t that a bitch about love,” speaks to anyone who’s felt blindsided by a romance that once felt unbreakable. TIHANE’s smoky, confident vocals deliver each line with conviction, balancing pain and resilience in a way that feels refreshingly real.

Inspired by a deeply personal breakup moment, the song captures that raw, surreal feeling of standing at an emotional crossroads. TIHANE recorded the melody just days after the breakup, sending it off to her co-producer, Segnon, as a voice memo that would evolve into this bold, polished track. There’s a touch of vintage funk in the bassline, mixed with the punch of indigenous drums, giving it a sound that feels grounded and forward-thinking all at once. The rhythmic shifts and layered production take listeners on a journey, weaving through sadness, self-awareness, and eventually, empowerment.

The music video complements the track’s energy perfectly, with black-and-white tones that burst into color, symbolizing the transition from loss to self-acceptance. Filmed in one take in California’s winding canyons, the video feels intimate and intense, just like the song itself. In “Ain’t That A B!tch,” TIHANE has created more than just a breakup song—she’s crafted an anthem for moving on, acknowledging the pain without letting it define you. This single doesn’t just add to her discography; it adds a new perspective to the breakup genre, one that’s rooted in authenticity and unapologetic self-expression.
