Keenesburg singer and songwriter Bailey Elora said she dipped into a very personal well for her most recent single.

“It came easily; it wasn't something we planned, but it developed naturally once we started,” Elora said. “My guitarist and I were messing around and writing something, and I added lyrics to it. The lyrics we ended up with fit the song perfectly.”
Her new singles “I Don’t Mean to Bite” and “I Don’t Mean To Bite’ (My Body’s A BitchVersion)” were inspired by her health issues and released on Aug. 29. Elora was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 13.

“My song is a heartfelt lyrical letter to God, The Universe, or anyone willing to listen,” she said.
