- For TikTok star-turned-singer-songwriter Nessa Barrett, her latest hit “lovebomb” is a way to spread awareness about borderline personality disorder-something she herself struggles with. “I wanted to share another light to the word ‘lovebombing,’ because it has such a negative connotation to it,” Nessa Barrett tells Genius. “But I feel like people with borderline, specifically, use lovebombing as a way to say ‘sorry’ because they really feel bad.”
Produced by Evan Blair, “lovebomb” appears on Barrett’s debut 2022 studio album, 'young forever.' Since its release, the song has racked up over 7 million streams on Spotify alone.

#NessaBarrett #lovebomb #Verified
this is my favorite song she’s ever made. she’s SO incredible and makes me feel so much less alone ( especially with BPD ) i love her so much. she means everything to me.
she’s so sincere and transparent. I wish people could see this side of her more :’)
Hey i have BPD too! It's a real struggle. Got diagnosed six years ago RIGHT after I left for college. It's nice to hear someone else with the same issues verbalize their own experience with the symptoms. "Splitting" is so painful, not only for the people around you, but it hurts so much physically to go through an episode.
thats crazy bro. i did not ask you though
@@Winternagatobro just shut up
@@Winternagato she didn't say she did.
@@Winternagato that’s crazy bro. we did not ask you though
what is bpd? if u dont mind explaining
Thank you Genius for inviting her for this song. It really has a huge meaning and impact on me. I even started crying now when she describes the episodes, sings and tells the meaning behind it all.
This song honestly helped me so much. She worded it so beautifully. She has a great voice too. I know she’s gonna be big one day
by far my favourite song on the album. even from the first line “don’t even remember how it started” and “i can’t drop the gun” the blackout/rage and knowing that once it starts you can’t stop.
This song specifically helped me piece together my behaviour and I got diagnosed with BPD too. My love for Nessa only grew
This song really helps me realize I’m not alone. I struggle a lot with relationships because of this, and I thought I was crazy and alone. But Nessa and her music really makes me feel heard
I love her lyrics. She's so honest and vulnerable when she writes.
There’s not a single song of hers that I don’t like, and that’s rare.
Her lyrics are too relatable and her voice is enchanting.
shes created such a safe place for those of us with bpd. she makes me feel less alone.
Her voice just gives me chills. Every time I listen to this song, I end up crying one way or another. I don’t exactly relate to it in the way Nessa wrote it because I know she has BPD and I don’t but I’ve found my own interpretation in a way whilst also appreciating hers. I’m glad she’s comfortable sharing her experiences with us. It’s very important to break the stigma around mental illness, especially ones like BPD. Like I said before, I don’t have BPD but I have struggled with severe anxiety basically my entire life, it’s gotten in the way of not only my social life but my entire life; the way I interact with people, the way I carry myself. A lot of the time, I feel like I’m constantly hurting people and doing a disservice to everyone around me. When she talks about lovebombing, it makes me think of all of those times I’ve done things for people so they would forgive me even though they were never mad at me in the first place. It’s a never-ending feeling of intense guilt. Whenever my moods get out of hand, I can’t blame anyone but myself so that part really resonated with me. I wanted to thank Nessa for making such a meaningful song that can reach and hit many people everywhere. I may not know exactly what she’s going through but I’m proud of her and appreciate her for providing those songs for people who will see themselves in them, also for expanding my knowledge on it. I can’t wait to see her on March 22 and to hear this beautiful song live. 🤍
march 13th it’s going to be so relieving and beautiful 🥺 i relate to what you just said so much. that’s why i love this song so much.
@@kati6085 Aw love that for us
this video brings me so much joy. nessa has saved me & I’m so grateful. this album was the most relatable album I’ve ever listened to. she just gets me & she’s one of the people that convinced me to stay here. her journey is so inspiring & music is so impactful. a true princess angel baby. I love you ness🤍
This is heartbreaking. I have been through this, and tried for almost 2 decades. I loved her. I know these struggles, and I hope this girl finds peace
Honestly something about this song rlly sticks out in the album. It’s just so beautiful and meaningful
Nessa is such a sweet and adorable angel that I seriously adore with all of my heart, even her voice is so calming and beautiful. Lovebomb is such a beautiful song too. She deserves the whole world and she’s the sweetest ever 🥺❤️
her music has saved me and put me in a better mood, she's so pretty and adorable, i love her with my whole life 🤍💌
Awesome interview! Lovebomb is such a great song not only for people having manic episodes and has trouble communicating it afterwards but also helps explain these events to the loved ones on the receiving end which at times leaves us clueless and frustrated. Proper Communication and Understanding each other is definitely key and this song will help heal a lot of similar relationships.
She's definitely one of my fav singers. I'm so so proud of her.
I love her singing but even her talking voice is so calming and I love her so much and how much she advocates for mental health because I think I struggle with a lot of things she does and it makes me feel like im not so alone and you dont see a lot of people take accountability for their outbursts, like I know a lot of people say she plays victim a lot and maybe she does, but she also is very open and honest about not being perfect.
I love nessa and lovebomb is one of my favorites on the album.
It’s so crazy how relatable you are to me Nessa, thank you for opening up more about your mental health and helping us all through our struggles including yourself. I love you and I love your angelic voice and that you’re an authentic artist.🖤🎵🎶🎼🎤🎧🌹😘💋
no auto tune just pure talent
That’s my favorite song you’ve created so far. I was listening to it in the car the other day and your voice was so beautiful and angelic. I don’t know what came over me but I was overcome with a wave of emotion and just started thinking about family, friends, dead loved ones and past lovers and started to tear up. So thank you for that.
This song is heart wrenching and real for me. It really touches my soul and makes me pour all my emotions. I have never experienced something like that with any other song. Everytime I listen to it my eyes are in tears. I am waiting for the day when I will be able to listen to it without being that impacted and relating so hard to it.
As someone who also has BPD i find this song so helpful in explaining to those who i love the most that when I’m in an episode the things i say are just me trying to explain how badly i hurt. I love how open Nessa is about the not so pretty sides of BPD because i feel like most people with it aren’t. Like Nessa when I’m in an episode I tend to throw things too just to get across how I’m feeling. It’s amazing to be able to relate to someone like Nessa because when you’re in these situations you feel so alone but in reality so many other people struggle very similarly and we’re in this fight together❤
love this song it makes me cry every time i listen to it bc i have BPD and relate to her and her music so much, shes such an icon i love her so much she changed my life and shes my favorite artist, RIP COOPER♥
This song always makes me cry. It really hits me like no other song.
Nessa is honestly so underrated, her music has such deep meaning, and it got me through a lot. I mean A LOT
her hair and outfit is just so slay!!
i relate to this song because i struggle with bpd as well, it genuinely means so much to me, ily for making this song nessa
Love how she’s being more open now and feeling more comfortable. Obsessed with her music
I can relate to her so much actually this song especially. It’s really like cool that she can tell us the meaning behind her song.😢
Probably my favoruite song of the album. It really describes BPD so well
Ness is such a kind soul and speaks straight out of my soul
literally was just listening to young forever
this song makes me cry EVERY TIME I listen to it ❤ love you nessa
Love this song ❤
Soooo many people can relate to this song! She’s so amazing honestly. Keep being you Nessa 🤍
her voice is so angelic
dude with all due respect she is beautiful
I love how true and honest and self-aware she is. That's makes me love her even more. In nowadays its hard to find people or artists you can trust who are so honest about their mental health or just honest about them selfs. I love when people are true and honest and self-aware. She is amazing, an amazing person and singer
literally one of my favourite songs. i am so proud of nessa and i cannot wait for her to drop more songs in the future:). i love the meaning behind the song as well. her voice is literally angelic.
That Genius notification hit different...
fr fr
I literally got the name of the song tattooed in my arm, not only my favorite song but this helped me so much
This put into words what I go through daily. I have borderline and bipolar, and I find myself love bombing all the time. The funny thing is, if you have one of these mental disorders you truly do mean every word you say in the lovebomb because you hate how much you hurt others when you’re in an episode. So many people are like you use the words i love you too much and I’m like no I genuinely mean it when I say it. I just say it a lot because I feel like I need to so the ones I love don’t think I do not love them. with borderline, you feel emotions at least three times more strongly than an average person so even sadness and love are over the top.
every song on her album is a 10/10, im obsessed tbh
She is so sweet, but so underrated, her songs are amazing ;-;
These lyrics are amazing, I already loved Nessa and was a fan but this song makes me adore her even more! I struggle with BPD as well and it's living hell, this song has been helping me out a lot recently
this was my favvv on the album for so so long. just hit me right in the chest
Lovebomb was my first tattoo, like I love and relate this song so much
she's so cuuuute! Her voice makes me giggle like an idiot omg. Also, she's so real with her mental health, and I also struggle with depression, social anxiety, anger management, relationships, and honesty. This is real; it happens to so many people. Nessa really gives people like me hope when dealing with these problems, because it's almost like a safe-space where you know you aren't alone, because even stars like Nessa (so many other obviously, as well) go thru this crap. Cheers to those who embrace their challenges and acknowledge their mistakes as well. XO
i am so glad that i found nessa's music. as a borderline, i feel the lyrics to this song and the meaning behind them SO deeply. it's really important for people to understand what bpd is actually like, she is describing her experience/bpd experience in general very well. i hope everyone who isn't educated on bpd learned a little something. love u nessa
I love how open and honest she was
I’m here because I’m bipolar type 2 so I’ve never experienced the mania everyone talks about just hypomania and my best friend has bpd. I’m terrified I’m going to lose her. I almost lost her once and she won’t get help and I’m so scared but I’m trying so hard. Even when she leaves and goes off and splits, I’m always here. I haven’t left her. She’s my soul sister. She’s met all my past boyfriends and my friends
And I can’t imagine life without her
you have such a beautiful soul I hope both of you can get better and leave peacefully
@@ir4txe she’s been my best friend for seven years, even if she says I’ll leave, I won’t, unless I die
We love u Ness, thank u sm for sharing your art with us. It makes us feel understood, loved and definitely not alone. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This song is everything
I'm so proud of her. It's such a beautiful song
Such a calming voice 💝💐

she's so pretty
Can we just appreciate how amazing she looks here
This song is just so perfect. I love her so much.
I love you Nessa, your voice is sweet, and when I want to express myself I just listen to any song that is yours, I wish I could take away all the pain and episodes, I hope you are happy forever my marip girl
My absolute favorite from the album. This song is gold.
I love nessa with everything in me. this song means so much to me.
I always love to know the meanings and the details behind her songs.
I struggle with all of this so much because I thought I was crazy and that no one could understand what it feels like being in a manic state Or episode but the way she wrote this song gave me so much hope and comfort knowing that someone else struggles with the same things when I have a episode I get super angry either go manic and throw stuff scream and be so rude have panic attack and cry uncontrollably it’s so hard to get control and calm down and then you regret eveything you have done after you snap out of the episode and all the guilt follows you of what you caused and the people you hurt you rush to love bomb and tell them how sorry you are and how much you hate the way you have episodes 😭
this song articulates my thoughts better than i ever could have. i relate all the way down to him lifting the rug n me sweeping the glass. ur so special ness
This song has my heart. ❤
love this song! this is one of her best songs. ❤
love this song, i relate sooo much... love you ness
Lovebombs and noose are my favorite!! 💝
Wow she’s pretty, never heard of her though
Her album is amazing! Check it out if you have time
she started doing social media as an influencer in 2019 & then transitioned solely into music the same year but didn’t release her album until 2022.🤍
I have autism and I relate to this song a lot. I’m not sure if I have bpd and I might be to young to get specialised for it but I really look up to Nessa and one day I wanna make music like her 🤍
She’s just amazing i love her
love her genius videos sm
I love this song so much! I don’t have bpd but I relate to this on certain level! I few understood in a way
I love this song with my whole heart
Omggg I have BPD too!! I've always felt so connected to Nessa's songs because they're so honest, genuine and heartfelt but I had no idea fully why and I didn't know she has BPD too. This makes a lot more sense and it makes me feel so much better that I'm not the only one (especially to know that even celebrities have BPD, so we all struggle.) But it doesn't make us bad people. Yes, there are comments sometimes about us being "manipulative" and "toxic" and that we "should be avoided" and that hurts because we're really not doing this on purpose. It's just there is so much negativity and trauma sometimes people cause us and it's hard to cope with it and be strong and in control. I don't like when people say that we exaggerate emotions a lot more than other people because it sounds as people claim us as the biggest problems. It's not fair. We might be more sensitive but it doesn't mean we exaggerate. Us taking things more to heart shows that we do have that heart and that we're human and we cannot give out love if we receive hate or negligence. The things that make us angry and hurt and sad are the true reasons. It's just that people don't see them as reasons because society tends to minimize the important things. They disregard others' feelings because it's inconvenient to them, and sometimes the friends we think we have are true only support us in good times. Once bad times come they leave us, or ghost us. We dont dramatize, it's the society that's being ignorant. Thank you so much Nessa for making me feel understood and supported. You're not only a talented artist but an amazing, genuine-hearted person. The world needs more people like you. Thank you for what you do and I love u so much. 🤗❤🙏🎵🎶🎸🎹🎙️
she has gone through SO much, i hate when ppl call her a pick me or whatever shes incredible and so sweet and i love her with my whole heart ❤
The way I can finally relate to something so fully. I love this song. I love her. I needed this.
I don't have bpd, but I do have bipolar, so a lot of what she's saying, her symptoms, are extremely similar to mine, which is in a sense awesome because her music and songs help me understand myself better.
she’s so beautiful
This is my favorite song by her. Seriously, I love it
I Really Enjoyed Today's Video And I Think That This Girl Nessa Is Really Nice
love her she is so inspiring to me so proud
i can’t wait to scream this at her concert 🥹
Genius is genius
Her music is literally so amazing
ness is so beautiful
She’s so talented
