Zoe Ko – EAT

One of America’s most interesting punk-pop artists right now is Zoe Ko, who already earned herself a ‘Track of the Week’ with a previous song here at Alfitude.

This promising starlet returns today with another punchy new single called ‘EAT’. As to be expected, the track is bold, confident, and, of course, very playful.

“I wrote this song with Jonny [Shorr] right after I moved to Los Angeles from New York City. 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.”

Zoe also unveiled some fun visuals for the track, which perfectly encapsulate the essence of the song. Elaborating on the concept behind the music video, she says:

“‘EAT’, the song and music video, to me is about emulating what it means to eat! And to eat is to be hot, confident, care free, have fun, and give zero f*cks!!! I think this video show cases that perfectly. Somehow we are all serving even while being covered in food by the end of the video. And to that I say werk! My vision was to have a bunch of stuffy people loosen up and end up being crazy with me by the end of the video. In the music video I wake up find myself at snooty dinner party. I’ve had enough and start bringing some needed crazy energy to the party. Eventually I end up crawling on the table and starting a food fight. Finally at the end you see the guests having fun smiling while finally letting loose. A food fight is one of the funnest and messiest things one could do besides crawling in mud so it felt fitting.”
