ZELA and Princess Superstar join forces on “Chick Flick” – a fearless, witty brat-pop anthem full of sass and satire.
Viral brat-pop sensation ZELA returns with a magnetic new single, “Chick Flick,” this time joined by iconic collaborator Princess Superstar (notably of Saltburn fame). A celebration of bold sexuality and unfiltered expression, the track blends indie-sleaze elements with sharp wit and cinematic nods, creating a sonically daring moment in ZELA’s growing catalogue.
“Chick Flick” pulses with nostalgic grit reminiscent of early 2000s bloghaus, yet wrapped in a modern pop sheen. From its androgynous flair to lyricism dripping with innuendo, the track delivers a flirtatious balance of femme and masc energy. As ZELA puts it: “I really experimented with the polar extremes of my bisexuality for this song. I love embracing my masc energy & leaning into that fckboy persona, but then getting real femme for other parts of the song too.”*
The standout lyric “do you like sushi? It’s my second favourite thing to eat” sets the tone early, signaling the mix of playful sensuality and cheeky cultural references that define the song’s edge.
ZELA’s viral fame continues to rise, with over 28 million TikTok views and 26 million on Instagram Reels. Known for her inventive pop culture parodies and candid personality, she’s attracted admiration across platforms—including from Charli XCX, who recognized her creative interpretation of “brat.”
“Chick Flick” positions ZELA as one of pop’s most daring emerging voices—bold, humorous, and entirely herself.
