Phi Phi O’Hara’s new song takes ownership of the title she won on television’s popular drag competition show. Written and produced by Zach Adam and Heather Holley (who has written several hits for Christina Aguilera), "Bitchy" is a pop/rock anthem that the outlandish drag star describes as if P!nk, Joan Jett and Adam Lambert had a baby.  "I really wanted something that was representative of who I am," O’Hara explains. "I have a sweet but edgy side. I needed music that matched.  It is also meant to be an inspirational message to fans to never allow negative names to tear you down."

On RuPaul’s Drag Race, Phi Phi O’Hara was known to be something of a bitch – a fact she doesn’t deny or apologize for.  "I was bitchy and I am bitchy," she admits, "but only when I need to be."

Some felt her camera antics went beyond competitive chiding. Phi Phi appeared to be constantly yelling at other contestants, often criticizing them for what she believed to be their lack of talent. As the season progressed, fan disapproval grew. Never before in the history of RuPaul’s Drag Race had one contestant been so overwhelmingly disliked.

Phi Phi O’Hara, however, feels her anger was misunderstood. "I was young and competing against much more experienced queens," she says. "A lot of my anger was misguided frustration."

Competing on the show turned out to be much tougher than O’Hara had anticipated.  "After watching prior seasons, I thought it would be easy. Little did I know the time crunch we would be under to prepare for each challenge, how quickly we would have to change

In and out of clothes and make-up, and how long we would be forced to stand on stage under burning hot lights. The powder puff I carried became my best friend because I was always sweating," she laughs.

"On top of all that, the girls I was competing against were good.  Damn good!"

As she sings in "Bitchy", Phi Phi O’Hara has never let anyone stop or stand in the way of achieving her dreams.  She didn’t appreciate the criticism she received from judges and other contestants on the show.  She felt much of it wasn’t intended to be constructive, but rather destructive.

"Every now and then, it’s important to put your foot down and say enough is enough," she continues.  "What I did or said on the show was usually in defense of my hard work."

She takes the words of Latrice Royale (a competitor on the show who is now a friend) to heart.  Royale told Phi Phi that being a bitch is never a bad thing when one lives by the meaning of the word. B.I.T.C.H: Being In Total Control of Herself.

"That is the definition I live by," O’Hara says.  "And it’s at the heart of the song."

It’s why she decided not to follow the current EDM trend.  "Bitchy" is a guitar-heavy pop rock track that draws from eighties’ hair metal. "The style and sound of eighties beats really makes me smile," she says.

It’s also why O’Hara decided to sing "Bitchy" as her male counterpart, Jaremi. "I sing in my real voice because I wanted to showcase a very real and important part of what makes me...me."

However, she is releasing the track as Phi Phi O’Hara and appears in full drag in the song’s music video.  "I could never forget Phi Phi and the impact she has on who I am as a person and the career I have today.  That’s why I felt it was appropriate to release "Bitchy" as my alter ego," she explains.  "I would like to eventually transition into singing and performing as Jaremi."

In addition to her music, Phi Phi O’Hara is currently developing a clothing line and touring the country in a new live cabaret show called "The Sweetest Bitch".
