"Bitter Taste" was released as the first single from Billy Idol's EP The Roadside on August 11, 2020. A music video for the track was released that same day. “Bitter Taste” features Idol’s longtime guitarist and co-writer Steve Stevens and was produced by Butch Walker, who also produced the EP. The track, recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, finds Idol looking back at his near-fatal 1990 motorcycle accident, a crash that almost resulted in Idol losing a leg and left him unable to walk for nearly a year.
