We have another new Zoe Ko single, “Kiss My (Ah),” to blast all weekend, and it is most definitely her year!
“‘Kiss My (Ah)’ is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written,” Zoe Ko explains. “It’s catchy, sassy, and gets the point across in one sentence. It represents my clap back to my mean girl feud in high school but also the attitude I now live by because of that experience and because of growing up in NYC.”
She continues, “On my debut EP last year, I started telling the story of my mean girl growing up but never really finished the story and said my peace. So, a lot of ‘Kiss My (Ah)’ is about that and how it basically forced me to choose to either curl up into a sad ball or strut down the street like a runway model not caring what anyone thought. Similarly, NYC taught me to do whatever the hell I want cause literally who cares what anyone thinks about it. If you don’t like me, you can kiss my ass. My biggest references for this song were ‘Hella Good’ by No Doubt and ‘Gimme More’ by Britney Spears! Every time I listen to this song or perform it, I feel a little more confident after.”
