Sløtface have released new single 'I Used To Be A Real Piece Of Sh**', inspired by Tim Robinson's sketch show I Think You Should Leave
The track also precedes their upcoming UK and Ireland tour.
Sløtface have released the final teaser from their upcoming third album, 'Film Buff'.
New single 'I Used To Be A Real Piece Of Sh' draws inspiration from an odd mix of references, including the life of Craig David, a woman obsessed with Indiana Jones, a character from the sketch show I Think You Should Leave, and the song 'Dumbest Girl Alive' by 100 gecs.
Frontwoman Haley Shea explains the origin of the song: "I was completely obsessed with Tim Robinson's show I Think You Should Leave last summer and watched all the seasons about four times, laughing hysterically. In the middle of this obsession, the sketch where he says 'I used to be a piece of sh' jumped out, and I thought it would make a great lyric, so I saved it in my little idea bank on my phone."
She adds, "I just wanted to make it fun and silly and over the top. It also makes me think of all the people that are out here working on themselves, always trying to better, going to therapy etc, me included, and it poses the question - do we really change all that much? It's a song for everyone that used to be a piece of sh, who's working on it, who's still kind of a piece of sh in some ways and that's ok!"
'I Used To Be A Real Piece Of Sh**' was written by Shea in collaboration with Swedish songwriter/producer Daniel Hedberg and Simen Følstad Nilsen. 'Film Buff', Sløtface's third studio album, is set for release on 27th September.
