Background and release

In April 2020, shortly after her breakthrough single "My Type" was certified 2x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, Saweetie began teasing the phrase "Pretty B*tch Music" via social media.[7][8] She released the lead single "Tap In" and its corresponding music video on June 17, 2020.[9][10] Saweetie released the song "Pretty Bitch Freestyle" as a promotional single in July 2020 alongside a low-budget,[1][11] homemade music video.[12] Following a viral TikTok dance trend,[13] "Tap In" became a top 40 hit in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. The song received a remix featuring rappers Post Malone, DaBaby and Jack Harlow in August 2020.[14] "Tap In" would also go on to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America at the time of the release of the album's second single, "Back to the Streets" featuring Jhené Aiko, on October 23, 2020.[15] This song would later receive an accompanying music video in late November 2020.[16] "Best Friend", the third single and first collaboration between Saweetie and rapper Doja Cat, was prematurely released on December 4, 2020 by Warner Records on various streaming services, a month before the scheduled release. Saweetie took to social to express her frustration and disappointment and called out her label.[17][18][19] The song was officially released on January 7, 2021 alongside a music video directed by Dave Meyers.[20][21]

Composition and concept

Saweetie told gal-dem that Pretty Bitch Music focuses on "exponential growth and producing artistry" and that it was made with the intent of wanting people to have fun and feel sexy and confident, while also presenting the importance of showing an example of women "being about your business".[22]

Promotion

Before its official release, Saweetie performed a solo version of "Best Friend" for the first time as a 2020/21 New Years Eve performance for Bud Light Seltzer, where she also performed the album's singles "Back to the Streets" and "Tap In".[23]
