Ellise, the rising dark pop artist known for her viral breakout hit “911,” unveils her bold new single “KILL4ME,” out now via AWAL, further delving into the universe that is PRETTY EVIL.
Written by Ellise alongside JT Foley (Nessa Barrett, blackbear) and Arthur Besnainou (Nessa Barrett, Baby Storme)—who also produced the track under his Besna moniker—“KILL4ME” is a razor-edged dive into emotional masochism, wrapped in moody synths and cinematic tension.
“It’s about the moment when you know it’s over, but you’re too far gone to leave,” Ellise confesses. “And begging someone to hurt you just so it can end. It’s violent, but honest. That’s where I was when I wrote it.”
Equal parts confessional and confrontational, “KILL4ME” captures the desperation of emotional entrapment—a plea from someone who knows the relationship is broken but can’t seem to let go. It’s a haunting portrait of vulnerability, delivered with Ellise’s signature intensity and theatrical flair.
The single arrives just ahead of her “PRETTY EVIL Tour,” kicking off July 31 at Thunderbird Music Hall in Pittsburgh, PA. With special guest Ella Red, the 15-date run will haunt stages across North America, hitting cities like New York, Toronto, LA, Boston, and Chicago.
