Bonnie Freechild - Honey (Single)
Bonnie Freechild’s “Honey” is for anyone who's ever fallen for the fantasy.
In a world where dating is chaos and connection is confusing, it’s flirty, raw, and emotionally honest. Honey offers a playful take on modern romance. It leans into that lovely limerence - the crush, the temptation, the fantasy - and the real question: if we let them in, will they let us down?
This track is fun, flirty, and free - but it’s also thoughtful. A little FLETCHER, some Snoh Aalegra and Jessie J, a hint of SZA, and harmonies a little like Mariah - the production is intentionally raw. The beat is me knocking her ring against a bracelet and tapping on her jeans - no itchy hi-hats (argh), something human.
The lyrics unpack the tension between desire and doubt, with a cheeky post-chorus chant (“boys lie”) that had an entire room harmonising along the first time I performed it - even though they’d never heard it before! I wasn’t heartbroken or healing when I wrote it - just vibing. It’s cheeky, self-aware, and rooted in feminine mischief. I even rap for the first time -because why not? It’s somewhere between This song isn’t about one person. It’s about a thousand experiences. A little messy. A little magic - Bonnie Freechild
And this release isn’t just sonic - it’s experiential. Honey will be launched not only with an intimate listening session with a select few at a secret location (think Honey, and all things associated), but also with a live performance in an actual boxing ring - bringing my “pretty and gritty” aesthetic to life say’s Bonnie.
Every release Bonnie does is tied to a real-world event that encourages connection, disruption, and community, breaking down the fourth wall between artist and audience. This isn’t just a song drop. It’s an invitation to step into a whole new unforgettable world.
