Little Boots wrote her latest single Crying on the Inside after a party in Los Angeles with Carly Rae Jepsen. 

The singer-songwriter will release the track as the third single from her fourth studio album, due this spring.

Announcing the release, the Remedy star described the track as “a classic sad banger I wrote several years ago with Ryland Blackinton about putting on a brave face in the face of personal challenges,” and speaking in our launch issue she opened up about the origins of the song.

“I wrote that song for Carly Rae Jepsen,” says the singer, real name Victoria Hesketh. “I don’t know if she didn’t want it because she didn’t like it… or because I got really drunk at her house one night. 

“It was my first or second night [in LA] – it wasn’t a big party or anything […] She was talking about how much she loves Fleetwood Mac. I was like, ‘Yeah, you should totally do Fleetwood Mac.’ Carly doing Dreams would be epic.”

She continues: “I proceeded to just drink all the wine. I was in the hot tub telling her we should be best friends forever. Then at some point, I passed out on a beanbag and woke up in a real daze.”

The next morning, a fresh-faced Carly headed out for a hike and Victoria “woke up with the worst hangover and wine headache” and fled before she returned. 

Days later, she wrote Crying on the Inside, “thinking about the idea of Carly doing Fleetwood Mac,” and sent the demo to her friend to pass on to her team – but she never heard back. 

It’s the only track on the album that originated outside of the project and almost didn’t make it onto the final tracklist; but when she shared a rough cut with her followers on Patreon, “who are just like my sounding board for everything,” she was urged to reconsider. 

Crying on the Inside will be released digitally on January 21, with the full album due later this year. 

It follows previous tracks Silver Balloons and Landline.
