Ethel Cain Drops Synth-Heavy Ballad 'Fuck Me Eyes'

“She goes to church straight from the clubs. They say she looks just like her mama before the drugs.” – Ethel Cain is back with another poetic single.

Ethel Cain’s 2025 started with the raw chaos of Perverts, paving the way for her next move, Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, the prequel to Preacher’s Daughter. Teased in March with Nettles dropping in June, the album’s August release looms. Now, Hayden Anhedönia offers Fuck Me Eyes, a six-minute, synth-heavy ballad that stings like a buried ache.

Fuck Me Eyes channels high school’s sharp edges, echoing Kim Carnes’ Bette Davis Eyes. It’s a tribute to the flawless girls branded as outcasts, desired yet despised. Born five years ago as the album’s oldest demo, it captures Ethel’s teenage jealousy over a girl she believes has her crush’s attention, woven into the record’s core.

The Willoughby Tucker Forever Tour kicks off in August, hitting North America and Europe with stops at venues like Radio City Music Hall and London’s Eventim Apollo. With $1 per ticket supporting trans community organizations via The Ally Coalition, here are her confirmed 2025 shows:
