Five years ago, Betty Whos first single, Somebody Loves You was the soundtrack to one of the most endearing flash mob marriage proposals when it was used by two gay men in a Home Depot. Now the pop star pays homage to that viral moment of pop culture history with the video for the first single from her new record, Betty.
Betty Who appears to advocate forof all including extraterrestrial (or interspecies) acceptance since her lover in the video is either an alien or a fish-man a la The Shape of Water. The couple smile and dance in the street, at a wedding and in their bedroom with lots of other shiny, happy people to cheer them on. I dont want perfect, I want you, Who sings as the couple try to find domestic bliss.
As Who stated previously of the track: The whole point of the song is about letting go of how hard life (and especially love) can be at times and remembering why you do it in the first place. Love is never going to be perfect. Sometimes it will be easy, most times it will be hard, but all the time its worth it because, when youre with the right person, you are willing to work for it.
The pop singer is currently supporting Panic! at the Disco on their Pray for the Wicked Tour, which concludes on Valentines Day, February 14th in Anaheim, Calif. Her album drops February 15th and she immediately joins Kesha on her Kesha Cruise: Keshas Weird & Wonderful Rainbow Ride from February 17-21 in the Bahamas.
This is Betty Whos third album and her first as an independent artist. She was with RCA until 2017, and she began staking her claim as an independent artist last year with the EP Betty Pt. 1. In early 2018, she recorded a cover of Wildlifes All Things (Just Keep Getting Better) as the new theme song for Netflixs Queer Eye reboot.
