Background

The release of "Biting My Tongue" was announced by The Veronicas in late June 2020 along with the title of their fourth studio album Human. On the single's release date, they also uploaded a preview for the song's music video.

Jessica Origliasso described the song as "really about saying 'I need to declare my undying love for you. No regrets." with Lisa Origliasso adding that "Vulnerability is fearlessness. To embrace that and realise that vulnerability is strength, by embracing that nothing feels better. Jess and I tend to say it all. We'd rather have no regrets, than ever wonder. We've always followed our hearts in that regard. We'd rather say too much than say nothing at all."[4]

Music video

"Biting My Tongue" marked the directorial debut for The Veronicas. The music video features twins Bud and Aidan Brennan Williams. The video was released on July 21, 2020. [5]

Critical reception

Rolling Stone described "Biting My Tongue" as an "exuberant pop anthem which captures the pair at their absolute best".[6]
