With “Take it Out On My Guitar,” Bella turns heartache into fuel, pouring every ounce of hurt and fire into a song that hits just as hard as the heartbreak. With nods to country heavyweights – Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert, and The Chicks – she proves that sometimes the best revenge isn’t a dramatic scene—it’s a melody he can’t escape.
“Take It Out On My Guitar” was co-written by Lam alongside Lauren McLamb (Dierks Bentley, Josh Ross, Dylan Marlowe) and Chris Rafetto (Eddie Montgomery, Emmy Russell, and Kelsey Lamb), and Produced by Matthew Morrisey.
Bella shared, “Take It Out On My Guitar was a concept that I came up with after listening to “Lover” by Taylor Swift. Her lyric “with every guitar string scar on my hand” was the inspiration for the title and theme of the song. I wanted to take that, and make an anthem for all the bad-ass country girls.”

Born in Nashville and raised in West Tennessee, the 23-year-old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist is already building a resume that matches her ambition. She’s performed at the legendary Bluebird Cafe, continues to grow a fast-rising fanbase online, and spends most weekends on the road fronting Bella Lam and The Boys, all while completing her music degree at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga.
One of just a few songwriters of Asian descent in country music, Lam’s musical roots were nurtured early on by her grandfather—an immigrant from China who encouraged his grandchildren to learn instruments, instilling a lifelong passion that now fuels her bold sound.
Lam’s journey to the stage hasn’t been easy—it’s been shaped by resilience and determination. Born prematurely, Bella faced significant medical challenges at birth, including collapsed lungs that left her struggling to breathe. She later underwent years of occupational and speech therapy to overcome a severe lisp and fine motor difficulties—obstacles that once made a career in music feel out of reach.
“What I’m doing now used to be an impossible dream,” Lam says. “I couldn’t be more grateful.”
With “Take It Out On My Guitar,” Bella continues to establish herself as a rising voice in country music, pairing heartfelt storytelling with a growing national audience as she heads into 2026. “Take It Out On My Guitar” follows her previously-released song “Tears In My Tequila,” co-written with Jason Blaine and Benji Cowart.
Bella is currently on tour in support of her new music, and will be performing a special pre-release show on Sat., Jan. 24th at 7:00p.m. at Songbirds in Chattanooga, Tenn., where she currently resides. Tickets for the show are on sale (HERE). For more tour dates and information, visit https://bellalammusic.com/.
