Moonchild Sanelly continues to carve out her own unique space with “To Kill a Single Girl (Tequila),” a track that fuses playful humor with a biting look at the emotional chaos of breakups and alcohol. Drawing from her remarkable wordplay and fearless approach to songwriting, Moonchild delivers a power ballad that’s as much about tequila-fueled confessions as it is about personal growth and letting go.
The song stands out for its juxtaposition of light-heartedness and heaviness. Two qualities that Moonchild handles with ease. The track’s melody has a sweeping, almost cinematic quality, but it’s the infectious groove and her magnetic vocal delivery that really draw you in.
As she explains,
“I’m always truthful but I had unnecessary thorns when it came to my truth.”
You can feel that tension throughout the song, where honesty collides with the recklessness of alcohol-fueled moments.
The accompanying video, directed by Jesse Roth, enhances the song’s impact by capturing the dizzying, intoxicating rush of a night out. The immersive perspective, shot with a Snorricam chest camera, offers an almost first-person view of Moonchild Sanelly’s intoxicating and unfiltered world. The playful take on the concept, mixing candid moments with scripted elements, mirrors the energy of the song perfectly: unpredictable, raw, and alive with the kind of authenticity that can’t be faked.
At its core, “To Kill a Single Girl (Tequila)” is a breakup song unlike any other. It’s messy, funny, and ultimately redemptive, showing that even in moments of self-sabotage, there’s room for growth and clarity. With this track, Moonchild Sanelly proves once again that her sound, and her storytelling, are unlike anything else.
Full Moon will be out on January 10.
