Some of my favorite songs are the ones that channel the common jealousy we feel as women. It’s so easy to fall into the toxic trap of seeing someone with a seemingly perfect life and wish you had it too. Or struggling with deep insecurities and seeing flawless girls and wishing you looked like them. The reality is we are all beautiful the way we are and everyone has their struggles that we don’t see at face value, but that doesn’t mean we won’t always remember that. “Between Your Teeth,” is a new single by Halo Kitsch channeling all the anger that comes with jealousy. It was written as an alt-pop anthem challenging the “it girl” stereotype and the want to fit that stereotype. Halo Kitsch’s goal with this song was to connect with listeners who face the common fight with comparison and empower them in knowing it’s just a negative emotion or thought at the end of the day.
“Between Your Teeth” has layers of edgy guitar riffs, punk like vocals and catchy melodies. It is an anthem for all the girls with deep rooted self doubt despite the fact that being themselves makes them perfect. Kitsch found inspiration from her waitressing job and said herself, "In the midst of those very humbling months on social media, faced with constant negativity, I found myself suddenly right back in the cyclical phases of jealousy, judgment, and justification. I spent an entire shift dreaming up this perfect girl, legs crossed, hair clean... the anti-me. And to counteract her, I began dreaming up a chorus of qualities that were one-of-a-kind, uniquely mine." I know I struggle with envisioning the ideal version of myself and wondering if I’ll ever be her and why I’m not already so I genuinely relate to this song on such a deep level. Social media is a big enemy to mental health and the way we perceive ourselves and that came as a big piece of this track. "I bet her paper cuts hurt cause she's never had it worse." If you love “Jealousy Jealousy” by Olivia Rodrigo then you’re bound to love “Between Your Teeth” by Halo Kitsch.
