Composition


Sergio Pizzorno described the song as having a "Beastie Boys dub with a sort of Zeppelin, Rage Against the Machine chorus". "bumblebee" was the first track to be written for 48:13.

It is one of the few tracks where Tom Meighan and Sergio Pizzorno share lead vocals, with the former singing the verses and the latter singing the chorus.
