Self Esteem Releases New Song “69”
British singer-songwriter Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem released a new song “69” on February 14, 2025.
The song is the second single off of her upcoming third studio album “A Complicated Woman”, which is set to be released on April 25, 2025.
The new album comprises 12 songs, featuring guest appearances from Sue Tompkins and Nadine Shah.
The track reflects on sexual inequality in male-female dynamics. Also, the track features a cameo from drag queen Meatball, who has spoken about the same themes in their podcast.
It was written by Johan Hugo, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, and Tom Rasmussen. Produced by Johan Hugo.
The accompanying music video was directed by Piers Dennis.
Self Esteem said of the song, “I always wanted to write a song that lists sex positions and rates them. A lot of my music is saying the things I struggle to say in real life. I like the idea of clearly communicating your needs in one quick, three-minute house song.”- She continued, “It is also political - women still are expected to cater to others sexually; I can’t hear another discussion about ‘faking it’, it upsets me too much! There’s enough inequality in the male/ female dynamic as it is. Our bodies go through so much more pain and suffering, please god let us get the pleasure where we can!”
She added, “I’d already written the song and then months later my all-time favourite drag queen Meatball said pretty much the same on her podcast Sloppy Seconds, and I knew it had to make the album!” -
