Robyn Debuts New Single ‘Sexistential’ on ‘Colbert’ Show
The Swedish pop icon Robyn recently revealed her new single, “Sexistential,” during a captivating performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. This song is the title track from her much-anticipated album, set to be released on March 27. Robyn’s latest work marks her return to music after nearly ten years.
Performance Highlights
The performance showcased Robyn’s dynamic stage presence. She danced energetically while delivering a compelling rendition of “Sexistential.” This track features her unique twist, as she raps about her experiences with one-night stands while being ten weeks pregnant through IVF.
Inspiration Behind “Sexistential”
Robyn drew inspiration for “Sexistential” from an unexpected source. After hearing André 3000 mention that no one would want to hear him rapping about a colonoscopy, she felt compelled to write a rap about her own reality. “It was my cue,” Robyn explained. “I have to do this, I have to write a rap about IVF.”
