"Bitch" was one of four songs from Sevendust's self-titled debut that went out as promotional singles, along with "Black", "Breathe" and "Too Close to Hate". The album landed on TVT Records on April 15, 1997, and the song is credited to the whole band: Lajon Witherspoon sings lead, John Connolly and Clint Lowery handle the electric guitars, Vinnie Hornsby plays bass and Morgan Rose drums, with Jay Jay French and Mark Mendoza producing.
The record was a slow burn, selling just 311 copies in its first week before grinding its way to gold, and Revolver later counted it among 20 essential nu-metal albums. A live take of "Bitch" turns up among the bonus tracks on the Japanese reissue, and in 2017 the band played the whole album in their hometown of Atlanta for its 20th anniversary.
