Bella Thorne co-stars in dreamscape-like visual
Fletcher has premiered the ferverish video for her new single “Becky’s So Hot,” a thrillingly intimate portrait of lusting after her ex’s new girlfriend and the latest single from her forthcoming debut album Girl Of My Dreams, due September 16th via Capitol Records.
Directed by Millicent Hailes (Billie Eilish, Tinashe, and Pussy Riot), the video for “Becky’s So Hot” co-stars Bella Thorne as the recipient of Fletcher’s fascination. In a series of dreamscape-like vignettes (including Fletcher blissfully alone in bed, then tearing through the city on a speeding motorcycle), the visual fully immerses its viewer in the hyper-saturated eroticism of Fletcher’s interior life. Partly inspired by the moody futurism of Blade Runner 2049, “Becky’s So Hot” ultimately blurs the edges of fantasy and reality to glorious effect.
“Becky’s So Hot” sets Fletcher’s expression of desire to an intense sonic backdrop (scorching guitar work, trembling rhythms, fiercely pounding drums) with production by long-time collaborator One Love and newcomer Pink Slip. With its dizzying collision of longing and frustration, jealousy and pleasure, the track affirms Fletcher’s gift for bringing the most nuanced emotions to wildly dazzling life (from the chorus: “Are you in love like we were?/If I were you I’d probably keep her/Makes me wanna hit her when I see her/’Cause Becky’s so hot in your vintage T-shirt”).
The single hit No. 3 on the iTunes chart across all genres, trended on Genius and Twitter and has already amassed over five million global streams. “Becky’s So Hot” arrives as the follow-up to the June track “Her Body Is Bible.” Executive-produced by Malay (Frank Ocean, Lorde) — who also helmed Fletcher’s You Ruined New York City For Me and THE S(EX) TAPES, a 2020 EP that hit No. 1 on iTunes across all genres — Girl Of My Dreams reveals her inner world more fearlessly than ever before, documenting the deeply transformative experiences on her way to self-discovery.
Fresh off her Lollapalooza performance, Fletcher has become known for her magnetic live show, with nearly 100,000 tickets sold globally this year. She will hit the road this fall for the Girl Of My Dreams Tour, a 25-date headlining run of North America. Kicking off on October 10th at House of Blues Orlando, the tour will continue through November 18th at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, with sold out stops at legendary venues like the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City.
