Rising star King Princess continues her quest into sensuous pop territory with her new song “Hit the Back.” The track is off her highly anticipated debut Cheap Queen, out October 25th via Mark Ronson’s Zelig Records.
“And I need you to be my motor/And run me ’til I can’t go further,” she sings in the first verse over piano chords. As the beat unfolds into a seductive groove, she begs the question in the chorus: “Ain’t I the best you had?”
King Princess, a.k.a. 20-year-old Mikaela Straus, had been teasing the song on social media over the last few days, describing it as “the anthem for bottoms everywhere.”
“Hit the Back” is the fourth release off Cheap Queen, following “Ain’t Together,” “Prophet” and the synth-heavy title track.
