Mike’s Dead has dropped a brand-new single called Bestrafe
Mich (Punish Me).
The musician reveals that his latest effort is just “raw,
aggressive sexual energy”, and proudly explains how, “Lately I feel like each
release grows in power and ambition and Bestrafe Mich is probably one of the
most Mike’s Dead songs I’ve ever released.”
Detailing its creation, he continues: “I have to be honest, I
didn’t set out with the intention of writing a song like this; Bestrafe Mich
started in my notes on my phone. I think I was driving and I remember thinking,
‘Punish Me would be a really sick song name,’ and then Googled the German
translation for it.
“Weeks later I was working with my friend Jonathan who
co-produced this with me, and everything just clicked. I wrote that pre-chorus ‘I
want you nails under my skin’ part in maybe three minutes. It was one of those
songs that just flowed out instantly and I think that translates to being a phenomenal
end product. Insanely excited for people to hear this one – especially
live – and get weird.”
