Just last month, the highly energetic Zoe Ko announced her signing to Big Loud Rock (the alt-rock imprint of Big Loud Records), in partnership with Double Down 11.
The announcement came alongside the release of “DIRT,” and now today it has been revealed that is the b-side of a punchy, power-packed double single now ready for full consumption, as Ko has just shared the A-side, “EAT.” The new song was co-written and produced with Jonny Shorr (UPSAHL, GAYLE, Catie Turner).
“I wrote this song with Jonny right after I moved to LA from NYC,” shares Ko.“It was a culture shock to say the least. I missed my best friends and our crazy nights out, and the shameless confidence the city infused into me. My friends and I would always use some variation of the word ‘eat’ as slang. Like after a wild girls’ night out we might say, ‘We totally ate tonight!’ I wanted to write a song about going out, getting crazy, and dancing all night. I hope this song ends up on every hot girl dance playlist out there.”
Now, “EAT” perfectly showcases what has made Ko such an undeniable force that’s quickly rising within the industry. It has it all: fierce energy, flirtatious charm, and a desire to authentically highlight the female experience.
Additionally, the accompanying music video for “EAT” finds Ko at a classically snooty dinner party.
“In the video, I’ve had enough stuffiness and decide to bring some energy to the party. I end up crawling on the table and starting a food fight. Eventually, you see the guests decide to let loose,” she shares.
“2024 is the year of serving, giving, and working,” Ko continues. “But not in the w-o-r-k way and more the w-e-r-k way, the hot way. Like when a baddie walks by you on the street and your jaw drops kind of way. Confidence is in. Strutting is in. Being the hottest most powerful bad-ass version of yourself is in. Not giving a single f*ck about what others think is in. EATING is in.”
