Шаблон:Infobox song "Bitter" is a song by American singer Chanté Moore. It was written by Moore, Katrina Willis, and Laney Stewart for her fourth studio album Exposed (2000), while production was helmed by the latter. A downtempo song about the pain and anger after a relationship has been shattered by lies,[1] it was released as the album's second single on November 17, 2000. "Bitter" garnered largely positive reviews from music critics and peaked at number 10 on the Adult R&B Songs chart.[2]

Background

"Bitter" was written by Chanté Moore along with songwriter Katrina Willis, and frequent collaborator Laney Stewart for her fourth studio album Exposed (2000).[3] Production on the track was overseen by Stewart.[3] Moore reportedly recorded the song in one take.[4] In 2013, she commented in an interview: "I was very genuine when I sang that song. I sang it one time through and, burst out laughing at the end and never recorded it again."[4] With the original version making use of the word "Nigga," two further versions with slightly different lyrics were also recorded however.[1]

Critical reception

"Bitter" earned largely positive reviews from critics. Chuck Taylor from Billboard called "Bitter" by "far the best song" on its parent album Exposed, citing it as a return to Moore's "signature sound – from the wondrous whispering vocals to the slow, simple music track."[1] Vibe described the song as "a moving testament that invokes Minnie Riperton's phrasings,"[5] while PopMatters editor Charlotte Robinson found that "Bitter" was particularly "great" because it was containing "engaging, unusual lyrics [...] with the music of a sappy love song."[6] Entertainment WeeklyШаблон:'s Craig Seymour noted that Moore "forgoes contemporary R&B histrionics on "Bitter," instead dismissing a lover with cool civility."[7] The Morning Call called the song "a brutally frank 'leave me alone' ballad."[8]

Music video

A music video for "Bitter" was directed by Aaron Courseault.[9] A continuation of the video for "Contagious" (2001), her collaboration with The Isley Brothers, R. Kelly makes a cameo appearance in "Bitter."[9]
