Bebe talked to us about 'I'm Good (Blue)' and how the song was worked on long before it was released, and how she "didn't think anything of" the track - who'd have thought! She also discussed that she eventually saw the song blowing up on TikTok, without ever realising it was her voice on the song due to it being distorted for the social media app. You can't go wrong with a natural born hit!
