Bleta "Bebe" Rexha (/ˈbiːbi ˈrɛksə/ BEE-bee REK-sə, Albanian: [ˈblɛta ˈɾɛdʒa];[3][4] born August 30, 1989) is an American singer and songwriter.[5] She signed with Warner Records in 2013, and was credited with co-writing releases of other artists—such as Eminem's Grammy Award-winning single "The Monster"—before furthering her career as a recording artist.[6][7][8][9][10] Her debut extended play (EP), I Don't Wanna Grow Up (2015), did not chart domestically, although its single "I'm Gonna Show You Crazy" entered several international charts.
Rexha released two additional EPs in 2017: All Your Fault: Pt. 1 and All Your Fault: Pt. 2, both of which spawned the singles "I Got You" and "The Way I Are (Dance with Somebody)" (featuring Lil Wayne). Rexha saw further success with her collaborations such as "Hey Mama" (with David Guetta, Nicki Minaj and Afrojack), "Me, Myself & I" (with G-Eazy), "In the Name of Love" (with Martin Garrix), and "Meant to Be" (featuring Florida Georgia Line); the latter peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 61st Grammy Awards. Rexha's debut studio album, Expectations (2018), peaked at number 13 on the Billboard 200 and yielded her a nomination for Best New Artist that same year.[11][12][13] Her second and third albums, Better Mistakes (2021) and Bebe (2023), both lukewarmly entered the Billboard 200; the latter included the single "I'm Good (Blue)" (with David Guetta), which peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the charts in 22 countries.[11]
