This “disco summer” was one for the books with Scene Queen’s June single “L-Shaped Couch” and now with the arrival of “Platform Shoes.” Our go-go boots are ready for dancing to this badass metal-disco fusion. “I will not change who I am for the comfort of a man,” she sings.

The artist says, “As my final installment of disco summer, I wanted to make a song I felt like a lot of women can relate to. Having the massive personality I do, I noticed while dating, a lot of men think they want someone who is independent and opinionated. That charisma is something you’re initially attracted to, but as time goes on, a lot of men start to feel insecure that they’re not the ‘alpha’ in the relationship.”

She adds, “They’re about equality until it makes them question their masculinity. This song is about not letting men like this make you smaller. And I say all that in the most me way I could’ve, calling those men short. Because at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter how tall a guy is – men take note – it’s about how confident a man is that makes them hot.”

Listen to the new track below and make sure to choose which platform shoes you prefer below.
