6 Facts About Bebe Rexha

1. She is from Staten Island, NY

2. She was in a band with Pete Wentz

Black Cards was the electronic duo that formed in July 2010 as Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz's new project following the band's indefinite hiatus. Wentz played bass guitar and wrote the band's lyrics, while Rexha served as lead singer. The pair met when Wentz and producer Sam Hollander overheard Rexha recording demos at their studio.

3. Bebe is one of the most in-demand songwriters in the industry

Her writing credits include hits like Tinashe’s “All Hands On Deck,” “The Monster” by Eminem, "Team" by Iggy Azalea and of course: "Me, Myself and I"

4. Bebe has something in common with Mariah Carey

Both women have a coloratura or "whistle tone." The highest register of the human voice; common in operatic singing.

5. She is Albanian

Bebe says that she appreciates being raised by very family-value-oriented immigrant parents.

6. “Me, Myself and I” is a love song to music

Bebe told Zach Sang she was in a dark place when she wrote the song and wanted to express how music has always been there for her .

Merging booming production, cinematic storytelling, and a powerhouse voice, Bebe nods to influences as diverse as Michael Jackson, Lauryn Hill, Tracy Chapman, The Cranberries, and Kanye West. Drawing on her Albanian heritage and youth in New York City, Bebe stirs up a musical melting pot of her own.

“I feel like I’m just starting to show who I am,” she says. “I’m going even further though. I’m embracing my roots and the artists I love. At the same time, I want to tell stories. The new music is more about empowerment. You work on yourself, and you focus on your happiness. That’s the message. I’m saying what I want to say. Life isn’t easy. We’re all going through something. I hope people know they’re not alone when they hear my songs.”

Bebe is currently on tour, opening up for Ellie Goulding. Check out upcoming dates on her website.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
