Biig Piig Premieres New Song “4AM” on BBC Radio 1
London-based Irish singer-songwriter Biig Piig premiered a new song “4AM” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Sian Eleri.
The song is the follow-up to “Watch Me”, which was released last November.
Also the track will appear on her upcoming debut album, which is expected to be released later this year.
She co-wrote the song with producer Zach Nahome.
The accompanying music video wad directed by Claryn Chong.
The video is the first episode in a series of short films written by Biig Piig.

Biig Piig said of the song, “'4AM' is a song that I made with Zach Nahome about the after effects of a big night out. Even if you're feeling isolated or alone, I wanted that chorus lyric to feel like an uplifting mantra you can say back to yourself. '4AM' is a nostalgic feeling track that's heavy: the verses are a reflection on the past and someone's relationships with self, substances or partners. Starting with the lyrics “oh you could have hit me with the bad news first” is important as it cuts straight to the real feeling of it, and cuts out the glitz and glamour of a situation.”
She shared on social media, “So 4am is the track that's about isolation, loneliness, kind of finding yourself at the end of a tether and being like, how did I get here? The chorus to me is something that I felt like I needed to hear at a time. The thing of even when you feel at your loneliest point like you're not alone. We're on Primrose Hill, which is amazing, because on my first EP that I ever released, 'Big Fan of the Sesh, Vol. 1'. I had a visualizer that went with it, following a story and I ended up at the end of a night out, and I ended up right here in Primrose Hill, filming like the sunrise. And almost like 4am to me feels like the feeling following on from that. So it's a cool kind of full circle moment.”
Biig Piig told Sian Eleri about the song, “The track 4am, I'd like people to feel less alone in their thoughts and be able to just celebrate connection. I guess that's what I feel like this track represents to me.”

She continued, “I feel like that this track, it was exactly that it was more of a thing of introspective. And it's a track off a bigger project that I never really wanted to lead with this track, because it felt like one that kind of, in the lyricism is like, honest and open, but then also, kind of, I don't know, that mantra in the chorus and like, the kind of escape into heaviness and not being scared about that. I feel like maybe I've darted around that quite a lot with my music. And I think with this track, it kind of is like, forward facing and a lot more, like, let's go through it instead of around it.”
