Love and South have been close friends since childhood and have played in bands that were often booked on the same bill. Both of them come from a mixed background; Love is of Iranian and Nigerian descent, and South is of Jamaican and Australian descent. (Georgia South's father, William South, is also a musician). They formed a band together in 2014 named BRAATS, releasing the song "Bad Bitches" under that name. Later that year they settled on the name Nova Twins, and released their first song "Bassline Bitch" under that name, in April 2015. That song attracted the attention of independent label Robotunes, which signed them and released their first self-titled EP in 2016.
After a show at French festival Rencontres Trans Musicales in December 2016, Nova Twins spent most of 2017 touring multiple countries and supported Prophets of Rage, after which Tom Morello named them "the best band you've never heard of". They have since supported Wolf Alice, Little Simz, Dream Wife, Black Honey, and Skunk Anansie. In 2017 they self-released the singles "Thelma & Louise" and "Mood Swings", and started their own custom clothing line called Bad Stitches.
In 2018, Nova Twins self-released the singles "Hit Girl" and "Lose Your Head". They continued to tour with shows in Europe and America, including an appearance at the Afropunk festival in Brooklyn. Towards the end of that year they started recording their debut album with producer Jim Abbiss. In 2019, they toured with Fever 333 and again Prophets of Rage. The singles "Devil's Face" and "Vortex" from their upcoming album were released with accompanying music videos. They also collaborated with several brands, including Dr Martens on a global campaign, contributing both music and visuals. It was revealed later in the year that they had been signed to Fever 333's label 333 Wreckords Crew.
Their debut album Who Are the Girls? was released on February 28, 2020.[ Who Are the Girls? received positive reviews at Kerrang!, Crash, and elsewhere. The band won Best U.K. Breakthrough Band in the 2020 Heavy Music Awards. Their second album Supernova was released on June 17, 2022. Supernova was shortlisted for the 2022 Mercury Prize.

NOVA TWINS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(It's my body, it's my mind, do what I want with it)
I'm not ashamed of it
(It's my body, it's my mind, do what I want with it)
Get bitches and hoes
Diamonds and gold
Ice around my neck so that everybody knows
Bitches and hoes
Ice around my neck so that everybody knows
Asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm a rocket, I hit
Like a bullet, son
Like a bullet, son
You ain't getting none
I'm not
Who the fuck you calling?
I'm that girl you couldn't get and now you hate me for it
I'm not asking for it
Don't you ever touch my hair unless you're paid to cut it
It's my prerogative
I don't dress up to impress, you're such a narcissist
I'm not ashamed of it
It's my body, it's my mind, do what I want with it
Get bitches and hoes
Diamonds and gold
Ice around my neck so that everybody knows
Bitches and hoes
Diamonds and gold
Ice around my neck so that everybody knows
Asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm a rocket, I hit
Like a bullet, son

I'm not asking for it
Don't you ever touch my hair unless you're paid to cut it
I'm not asking for it
I'm not asking for it
I'm not asking for it
I'm not asking for it
Is it too much for your ego
When I say, "See ya, amigo"?
Is it too much for your ego

The lyrics to NOVA TWINS's song Bullet are all about empowerment, self-love and self-determination. The song takes on issues like slut-shaming and misogyny and asserts that women have the right to do what they want with their bodies without being judged or harassed. The repeated phrase "It's my body, it's my mind, do what I want with it" is a powerful mantra that challenges societal expectations and asserts individual autonomy.
The song also addresses the aggression and entitlement that some men exhibit towards women. The line "I know what you want, I don't owe you one" makes it clear that women don't owe men anything, including attention or sexual favors. The chorus "Asking for it, you ain't getting none" reinforces the idea that women are not responsible for men's desires or actions.
Overall, this song is a bold and unapologetic declaration of self-love, self-respect, and the rejection of patriarchal expectations and demands. Its message is especially relevant in the age of #MeToo and the ongoing struggle for gender equality.

Who the fuck you calling?
I'm that girl you couldn't get and now you hate me for it
I'm not asking for it
Don't you ever touch my hair unless you're paid to cut it
Excuse me, where you going?
I don't want to get to know you
I don't want to give my number
I can feel your gearbox slowing
Conversation isn't flowing
I can feel your red cheeks glowing
Is it too much for your ego
When I say, "See ya, amigo"?
I'm not asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm a rocket, I hit
Like a bullet, son
Like a bullet, son
You ain't getting none
I'm not asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm a rocket, I hit
Like a bullet, son
Like a bullet, son
You ain't getting none
It's my prerogative
I don't dress up to impress, you're such a narcissist
I'm not ashamed of it
It's my body, it's my mind, do what I want with it
Cat caller on the street
Why do you always bother me?
On your rooftop in the heat
I hope you fall from 40 feet
Pulling up in shiny cars
Won't hide your dull demeanour
If I kiss you in a bar
It doesn't mean you'll get that far
I'm not asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm a rocket, I hit
Like a bullet, son
Like a bullet, son
You ain't getting none
I'm not asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm a rocket, I hit
Like a bullet, son
Like a bullet, son
You ain't getting none
Bitches and hoes
Diamonds and gold
Ice and around my neck
So that everybody knows
Bitches and hoes
Bend over to your toes
I talk about my dick
'Cause my brain is fucking slow
Bitches and hoes
Diamonds and gold
Ice and around my neck
So that everybody knows
Bitches and hoes
Bend over to your toes
I talk about my dick
'Cause my brain is fucking slow
I'm not asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm not asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
You ain't getting none
I'm not asking for it
I know what you want
I know what you want
I don't owe you one
I'm a rocket, I hit
Like a bullet, son
Like a bullet, son
You ain't getting none
(I'm not asking for it)

Okay, I don't know if you all read or moderate comments, but let me just say this. Every once in a while, I find a band/artist/musician that makes me thankful to be alive. Currently, you ladies are just that. I hope you blow up and get the praise you deserve. I love the driving bass. Twenty years ago people told me pedals on bass were crazy. How wrong they were. Also, I think your lyrics are clever and the vocal delivery is amazing. It get me hyped as I listen throughout my drudging workday. Thank you and don't stop what you are doing.
@TheGameCraftDragon
As an old dude who was there during the 80's punk movement, you ladies are the real deal! I'm sorry I only just heard of you (Thank you BMTH!) You got a fan for life!
