Tove Lo Drops Provocative 'bitches' Video Ft. Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Elliphant & ALMA
We wouldn't expect anything less...
First we got Rita Ora’s ‘Girls’, now we’ve got another all-star female super collab in ‘bitches’ from Tove Lo featuring Charli XCX, Icona Pop, Elliphant and ALMA!
Between 2016 and 2017 the Swedish singer dropped two albums, Lady Wood and BLUE LIPS, with the original version of ‘bitches’ appearing on the latter. Now it’s been given the remix treatment with the help of her fellow Swedish stars and the UK’s very own Charli, as well as a provocative NSFW music video. You wouldn't expect anything less from her though, right?

In the video, Broad City’s Paul W. Downs attends the ‘Tove Love Center’ to learn how to please his girlfriend (played by actress Jessy Hodges) 'down there'. All the girls play medical 'professionals' as they undergo examinations, don BDSM gear, learn tongue technique and, well, other things...
On the making of the video Tove says: "This song was written with a lot of sass and cheekiness and it was important to me that the video showed that. Couldn’t have found a better partner in crime to bring it to life than Lucia [Anillo]. It was SO MUCH FUN. All the girls completely slayed their performance both on the track and in the video. I’m so honored to have these powerful voices be a part of it and have so much fun with it."
Tove Lo is no stranger to pushing sexual boundaries in her art, just listen to any of her music. Her previous music video release for ‘disco tits’ saw her hooking up with a puppet, she once attended Australia's ARIA awards in a dress depicting a uterus and the cover art for BLUE LIPS, features a tattooed hand squeezing a woman's butt.
In an interview with NME, the singer explains her motives: “I choose to rub it in people’s faces even more. If you look at the record title, the artwork – it’s obviously done as a reaction to reactions. For me, it’s very artistic rather than just a picture of my ass. Obviously, that’s going to upset a lot of people – ‘why does she have to do that?’ This feels good to me. I’m not doing it because someone’s telling me not to, but I feel like ‘oh, come on’.”
Never change, Tove!
