novel Sung of the summertime just dropped .
What’s better than shoes and (if you can even fathom) more shoes? A full-blown song, of course. What started as a hilarious viral interview moment fromBridgertonstarNicola Coughlanhas now transformed into a legitimate, streamable song just in time for the weekend.
On Friday, Nicola teamed up with songwriter and producer Ellis Miah to release a song titled,“Shoes…More Shoes,“and it’s a genuine bop. The dance track featuring lyrics that slay originated from Nicola and herBridgertoncostar Luke Newton’s interview forHits Radio UKin May.
In the interview, Nicola revealed that her “dream job” was to write a pop song in the styleReal Housewivesstars have become well known for. Think “Money Can’t Buy You Class” by Countess Luann and “XXPEN$IVE” byErika Jayne. Nicole hit the mark with lyrics like, “London, Galway, Tokyo / Grab some champagne good to go” and “Galway girl in Londontown / there’s only one Lady Whistledown.”
The song also features a killer reference to Countess Luann’s signature song, with Nicola singing, “Money can’t buy you class / but it can buy you a shit ton of shoes.”
But that’s not all: Nicola and Ellis made the track for a good cause.
Proceeds from the song are going to LGBTQ+ organizations Not A Phase and the Trevor Project in support of Pride Month. “This one is for all the wee lesbians / all the girly pops,” Nicola sings before calling out “transphobes.”
The song is a full-blown bop, and you just really have to listen to it. You can check it out on Spotifyhere.
