Two of pop’s most promising storytellers join forces on BITE THE BULLET a collaboration that demonstrates what happens when authentic songcraft meets contemporary production polish.
Caleb Hearn and Jenna Raine have created something that feels both intimate yet stadium-ready.
The track opens with Hearn’s confession about playing it cool whilst internally spiralling. I played it cool when you finally called me / Like I didn’t wait all afternoon,”
A scenario that will feel achingly familiar to anyone who’s ever stared at their phone waiting for a text.
When Raine enters, her crystalline voice provides the perfect counterpoint. Where Hearn broods, she soars.
The Dallas singer brings an effervescent quality that prevents the song from drowning in its own melancholy.
Caleb Hearn and Jenna Raine swap verses before their voices collide in a soaring, shout-along chorus.
BITE THE BULLET captures the torture of modern romance—pretending nonchalance whilst internally combusting over someone.
This theme resonates throughout the chorus, where both singers declare their willingness to endure pain for love’s possibility: “I’ll bite the bullet if you’re holding the gun.”
This is the kind of addictive pop song with intricate emotional layers that demands repeat plays.
BITE THE BULLET is out now and catch Caleb Hearn on tour this September.
