Bella Kay Maria-Juliana Rojas for Rolling Stone Bella Kay is feeling the heat on her latest EP Are You Mad at Me. The three-track project features the previously released single “Promise?” alongside two new songs, “Say It Say” and “Stop.”
The EP title comes from the opening lines of “Say It Say,” a pulsating pop track that builds to an intense bridge. Kay spends the first verse looking for answers, asking, “Are you mad at me? Did I piss you off? Tell me, did I cross the line? Do you wanna leave? Do you wanna talk?” There’s a sense that she already arrived at a clear conclusion on her own (“I know you hate me, I feel it when we kiss”), but just to be sure, she wants them to say it.
“When it comes to relationships, I will wear it out until it’s done,” Kay recently told Rolling Stone. “I’ll call them until they don’t pick up anymore.” It takes a lot for the singer-songwriter to draw the line. On “Stop,” she wants to see how far she can push it. “I don’t really even wanna be mature about it/All I want is your tattoos to press up on my body/We can call it, but I’m not gonna pretend I’m sorry/I would never really say that if I’m being honest,” she sings on the flamenco-pop track. “Oh my god, I think I gotta knock it off/I think I gotta stop.”
