Gunna Runs Through New Pains and Gains on ‘Bittersweet’

Gunna has shared the new song "Bittersweet," his first single since his chart-topping fourth studio album 'A Gift & a Curse.'

“Bittersweet” is pensive and stripped back, with the Atlanta rapper laying stream-of-consciousness raps down over sentimental guitar and subtle percussion from producers Dystinkt Beats and 1SRAEL, the later of the the popular Philadelphia beat-smiths Working on Dying. Gunna runs through concerns about women, former friends, and drug use throughout the song, but also notes some recent highlights, like the massive success of his last album, released after a year long stint in jail, and his noticeable new fitness.
