MØ Announces New Album “Plæygirl”, Premieres “SWEET” featuring Biig Piig on BBC Radio 1
Danish singer-songwriter MØ has announced her upcoming fourth studio album “Plæygirl” will be released on May 16, 2025 via RCA Records UK.
It is her first album in three years since the 2022 album “Motordrome”.
The album comprises a 12-track, produced by Nick Sylvester.
From the album, MØ premiered a new song “SWEET” on BBC Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.
The song is third single off of the album, following “Wake Me Up” and “Who Said”.
This time, she teamed up with Irish singer-songwriter Biig Piig on the track. This marks the first time MØ and Biig Piig have worked together.
The track was written by Biig Piig, Karen Ørsted, Nick Sylvester, and Sylvester Willy Sivertsen. Produced by Nick Sylvester and Sly.
MØ said of the song, “Sweet is a fun and sweet song wrapped into a mean bass synth riff (thanks to Nick Sylvester). The line 'I don't go to clubs/ I go to comic cons and thrash metal shows’ is this album’s battle cry. It speaks to the feeling of kinda being an outsider, but being proud of, and embracing that outsider status as part of who I am. I don’t enjoy going to clubs! I like playing The Sims and going to punk and metal shows and spending time with my friends and family. I think a lot of people can relate to that. And then I’m a massive fan of Biig Piig, who is just the perfect complement to what we’re trying to do and say with the song.”- MØ told Jack Saunders about the song, “That this song has a really, really, really sick beat. I mean, I think when we and Nick did the song, we were just kind of talking about, why don't we make a song about what I really like, what I just actually, as a private person love doing. And I was like, I know that I have many songs that over the years have been playing in the clubs and stuff. But I actually never go to the club. I go to comic cons, and I go to thrash metal shows. So really, it was just kind of what came out of my mouth that is like, let's make a song about that why not.”
She said of working with Biig Piig, “I mean, I'm just a massive fan of hers, so I was like, I thought it was gonna be a long shot to get her on this track. But she was so sweet and was just up for it.” -
MØ said of the album, “The meaning behind this album or the title, is really this thing of trying to find joy and playfulness and to have fun while you do it. And it sounds so banal in a way, but I think many years I was so trapped in like, overthinking, Oh, is this perfect or whatever? But with this one, it's just like, No, I want to be in the room and actually try and have fun. Of course, it's about expressing yourself, the support for me to express myself. But I think it's so important to try and find the joy, like you literally don't know what's coming like in these times, it's so crazy. And it's just, you got to live your truth and be in the room.”
