Transcription
Background
"People don’t take people seriously — women, especially — who sing slutty songs or songs about sex, and write it off as not being important. I think that’s so stupid… I fully believe that takes as much skill as writing any other kind of song. And so I was like, “You know what? I make slut pop. And I’m proud of that. And you can suck it if you don’t take me seriously. I don’t care."
Kim Petras signed to Republic Records in 2021 and then started to work on new music for her major label debut studio album, as well other musical projects.[4] About the new songs, Petras stated that she explored sexual themes, getting inspired by other artists, citing Britney Spears as an example.[5] The EP process was completed in two months,[6] and the track listing was put together when the singer realized that she had enough songs about the same theme to put on a whole project on its own.[7][8] The album cover was shot by Devin Kasparian.[9]
Composition
A dance-pop EP[10] with influences of tech house and electropop, Slut Pop was described as an "X-rated" album about "slutty, sexual fantasies".[11] According to PopCrush, it features "throbbing beats, dirty lyrics and sex-positive anthems inspired by the sex workers community".[12]
Release and promotion
In the weeks leading up to Slut Pop's release, Petras posted videos teasing its songs on social media, as well stills from a new photoshoot done for the project.[13] To promote the EP, Petras realized a club crawl branded as Slut Tour, during which she performed at multiple nightclubs in one night.[14]
On January 7 2024, a vinyl release of the EP was made available for pre-order. The record was sold out in under a few hours.[15]
On January 22 2024, Petras announced on Instagram the official vinyl release of Slut Pop.
Reception
The project received a mixed reception. While some critics praised the EP's sex-positive nature,[16][17][18] others criticized Petras' association with producer Dr. Luke, who produced the entirety of the EP.[19][20]
