Following October's Only Time Makes It Human, the alt-pop track incorporates guitar elements alongside glitching electronics and was co-produced with Mark Ronson, Shawn Everett and Mike Malchicoff. Discussing it with Zane Lowe, the Brooklyn-born artist said:
"Pain is probably my favourite song I've ever written. I think what I love about it is it’s got that fucking piano. It’s the ultimate George Michael meets Erotica era Madonna meets an incredible remix if you’re in a gay club that makes you uncomfortable and horny."
Both singles look set to feature on the forthcoming follow-up to her debut LP, 'Cheap Queen', released in 2019 via Ronson's Zelig Records and Columbia Records.
In 2021, she'll support Harry Styles on the European leg of his rescheduled world tour.
