Listen to **BLEACH**

## Theme

*“It’s upbeat sad. It’s upbeat, it’s kind of like, it’s a breakup song in a way. Or just like, if you ever had the end of a friendship, would also work there. Basically someone you wish you could wash out your mind. Unmeet. Somebody you could unmeet. The hook is, “Could someone please pass me the bleach, so I can wash these feelings off of me”.  It’s basically like I have to was off how disappointed and sad I am about you, about the person that you are. It’s very different from KNIVES. “ - Neoni in Discord Live after the **KNIVES** premiere*

*"BLEACH is about wanting to brainwash someone out of your memory. It's about someone treating you so poorly that you wish you would have never met them in the first place. There is plenty of laundry in the music video. . . The song is like, super hella sad, absolutely sad, we decided to end this year on a sad note because why not? Because, you know, being sad around Christmas is the perfect way to spend it, I do it every year, it's the best way to spend the holidays. If you have someone in your life, whether it's a friend, or a significant other, that just treated you so poorly that you wish that you could just forget that they exist, then this song is for you. Also I'm sorry that happened, that's a big bummer, it sucks. But you will be able to relate to this song, and because it's happened to at least us." - Neoni in the **BLEACH** Trailer*

## Background

* **BLEACH** was first revealed as a Neoni song by their mother on August 11th in a Neoni LIVE after the **HYPNOTIZED** premiere, in a message asking the discord to ask about **BLEACH** because she likes to leak unreleased song titles.
* **BLEACH** was teased in the **VILLAIN** music video.
* During the **VILLAIN** Discord LIVE, they mentioned that it's a collab with someone they haven't collabed with before.

* They shot the videos for the visualiser of **BLEACH** on November 16, 2023.
* They posted a preview of **BLEACH** on Discord on November 20, 2023.
* The album art and collaborator was revealed on Discord on December 2, 2023.

## Trivia

* The visualizer for **BLEACH** was filmed at the exact same set as RIELL's "Happy For You" Vignette.
* **BLEACH** was written in February. In the Discord Live after the premiere, they said that it was written during a night session which started at 8pm, and they had written the chorus and pre-chorus in that session, and that they wanted to get someone else for the song to, quoting Neoni, "need some more ingredients in the soup". They sent the song to Trevor Daniel in April, and he had written the second verse.
* They said that there's a debate which part is actually the chorus, saying that they feel like the "Would someone please pass me the bleach?" part is the chorus, but the "Like Jekyll and Hyde" part could also be considered the chorus.
