Out singer/songwriter Kim Petras teams with electronic DJ trio Cheat Codes on her latest single, "Feeling of Falling."
Totally danceable, the bop's lyrics explore the fear of falling in love after a difficult breakup.
"'Feeling of Falling' is a song about ending up brokenhearted and trying to stay away from love to protect yourself," Petras shared with PAPER. "I'm the biggest emo, so I really connected to this song. Cheat Codes are amazing, and I've had the best time collaborating on this one."
And Cheat Codes recently told Billboard, "The feeling of falling in love is great but it's hard not to think about or compare it to past experiences of heartbreak. It puts you in a really vulnerable place. It can be the best thing but also the worst."
Check out the music video for out trans popster Kim Petras' debut single, “I Don’t Want It At All," a pop-y "shop-til-you-drop" anthem that features a special guest appearance by Paris Hilton.
Via press release:
Since her childhood in Cologne, Germany, Kim has been in love with pop music. It was a window into the bigger world outside of her little town. Kim notably began transitioning with female hormone therapy following her twelfth birthday before making worldwide headlines as the youngest person to receive gender reassignment surgery at the age of 16. Her experiences and bravery are subtly present in her music and her undeniable debut single perfectly showcases her imaginative artistry and unique brand of escapism.
“Pop was always my biggest obsession,” Kim affirms. “I spend so much time looking for new music online. As a kid, music videos were my escape from the little town I was living in, because nothing happened there. I want to provide that kind of escapism. It’s unapologetically pop.”
Great to see the release was noticed by big mainstream sites Ew.com and Idolator.
