Los Angeles bedroom-pop artist Lisa Heller has unveiled their new single “cheetos n coke” today.

The track, which can be heard below, was co-produced by Heller and Will McCoy. The rising artist said this about their new song:

“I wrote “cheetos n coke” with my frequent collaborator Meghan Williams. We wrote the song when I mentioned I wanted to write a song about my previous struggles with an eating disorder and the common struggle amongst a lot of people, especially young women, with body image and body neutrality.

I recorded the song in my bedroom in LA, which felt symbolic because I have actually looked in the mirror in that very room and dealt with some negative body image. I worked with my producer, Will McCoy, to make sure the production remained just as vulnerable as how I felt when writing the song. I think that “cheetos n coke” touches on important aspects of mental health. Although not everyone will have a mental illness in their life, everyone has their mental health to tend to. Body image is something that I have had my struggles with and at times really took over my happiness and my life. I wanted to open the conversation by openly sharing those struggles for the first time through a song, because maybe it will help someone feel a little bit less alone.”

“cheetos n coke” is Heller’s first new piece of music since the release of their 2021 EP is anyone listening? The new track is out on digital services right now.
