Kim Petras has released the music video for her latest single, ‘Freak It’, serving 365-day party-girl energy in the lead-up to her highly anticipated third album.
Featuring candid moments amid crowds of club-goers and drag queens – and diving into crowds of fans – Petras puts her all into this hot, sweaty 2010 party-girl video directed by Normies Nightmare.
“I started playing it live and the fans went insane” – Kim Petras on her latest single ‘Freak It’
Speaking about the track – first released back in July – she said in a statement: “‘Freak It’ was supposed to be the last track on the album and that was that. Then I started playing it live and the fans went insane.”
Prior to its release, the singer, who is trans, first performed the song during the WeHo Pride Festival in West Hollywood back in May this year. She later performed it in Boston and San Francisco with American pop duo Frost Children.
She added: “At some point, I just had to give in. I wrote and produced it with my friends, which made it even more fun to finally put out.”
“I just want to lose my mind at clubs this summer listening to this song” – Petras being inspired by the club scene
Inspired by Euro club culture, she continued: “I miss the chaos and joy of artists like LMFAO and Avicii, and honestly, I just want to lose my mind at clubs this summer listening to this song. The fans yelling at me to release it basically did me a favour. God was definitely in the studio that day.”
The music video, released to coincide with the single’s drop, gained immediate traction from fans, who praised the singer’s new era.
“This is her sound, for real. Her voice makes so much sense for this type of music,” one user commented. Another added about the nostalgic club feel: “Takes me back to 2010–2012.”
