Currently midway through her Cry About It<\/em> tour of the UK and Europe, Adelaide\u2019s own aleksiah has released new single \u2018Faker\u2019. <\/p>\n Similar to her previous single \u2018clothes off\u2019, aleksiah\u2019s latest is an upbeat bubblegum pop track with a deeper meaning, exploring the songwriter\u2019s complicated relationship with intimacy. <\/p>\n \u201c\u2018Faker\u2019 is by far the most intimate song I\u2019ve ever written, in more ways than one,\u201d aleksiah explains. \u201cMany people struggle with the concept of sex, and there are so many songs written under the guise of blaming someone else for failing to get you \u2018there\u2019 but not many for the opposite, and how you can feel like you need to apologise for it. It\u2019s something I struggle with, even from the first time I started my journey with my own body, and like a lot of people I blame myself for my own shortcomings (pun intended). I worried about hurting someone\u2019s feelings, so I was notorious for \u2018faking\u2019 that moment.\u201d<\/p>\n aleksiah adds, \u201cFor a long time, I thought I was broken, so I wanted to write a pop song that was honest and brash in the way it talks about not being able to get to the big O, and truthful about how sometimes it\u2019s not them, it\u2019s you. In true aleksiah fashion, I wanted to make it fun and poppy with uncomfortable and no-filter lyrics. Whether it\u2019s because you\u2019re scared, you\u2019ve never experienced it before, you\u2019re on medication that affects your sex life, or you\u2019re just not ready to be that vulnerable and open with your body, it\u2019s ok, we are not broken, and we can still have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
