Rising independent artist Jett Jenkins explores new musical avenues with fresh grunge-inspired sound.
New York, NY (June 16, 2023) - Rising singer-songwriter Jett Jenkins just released her newest single, “Bite the Bullet” on Friday, June 16th. The sound of the song is delicate and dreamy with the infusion of a gritty undertone. The track mixes the usual “poppy” sound of Jett's music with darker elements of new-wave synth. The lyrics behind this song reflect struggles with mental health, grief, perseverance, and more.
“Bite the Bullet” is about pushing through difficult seasons of life. It's about being proud of yourself, for just being on this earth and surviving. Holding your head up in the hard times, which might not have completely passed, but standing and staying. Staying to find something, anything.”

The chorus of the song reads, “I hope you know how proud. I am you made it. Pushing past a bullet. Biting with your teeth. Ready to implode. When voices raising. You are so unsure. You’re so afraid of everything. Searching for a heart of gold.” Jett was inspired by Neil Young's “Heart of Gold” for this play on words, bringing as though Neil is one of the artists that has helped her get through hard times.
I hope this song helps listeners get through whatever battle they are experiencing because that's what music does for me - music is and always has been what keeps me going.”
