Aidan Bissett hasn’t reached superstardom yet, but he’s dancing around it.
In his newest single, aptly titled “dance around it, “ Bissett keeps his hot streak alive with another emotionally charged, radio-ready hit. The track is the latest in a string of standout singles leading up to his debut album, shut up and love me, set to release on July 25.
True to form, Bissett leans into the emotional gray area between casual hookups and something more meaningful. He explores the tension between fun and heartbreak, capturing the complicated, often contradictory feelings that come with modern love—or at least, something that looks like it.
The chorus sets the scene on a vibrant Friday night: bodies moving, drinks flowing, hearts open just wide enough. But the euphoria doesn’t last. By morning, when he’s “broken and sober,” the connection fades, revealing the fragile reality beneath the surface. Whether it’s the buzz of a night out or the illusion of closeness in the moment, Bissett reminds us that the high always crashes. The music may play like a celebration, but the lyrics cut deeper.
As the sun rises, the truth becomes harder to avoid: we can only dance around it for so long. That’s what makes “dance around it” hit harder than your typical pop track. Beneath the addictive production and infectious hook, Bissett’s songwriting is wrestling with something raw—what happens when the night ends, when the music stops, and we’re forced to confront the emptiness we’ve been masking with movement?
It’s this emotional duality—joy and heartbreak, connection and confusion—that defines Bissett’s appeal. He’s not just making songs for the pregame or the party, he’s writing the soundtrack for the comedown too. And in a world addicted to distraction, that kind of honesty feels electric.
If shut up and love me is anything like the singles leading up to it, Aidan Bissett won’t be dancing around superstardom much longer—he’ll be stepping right into it.
