Victoria Justice on Releasing a Remixed “Love Zombie,” a Viral Hit 15 Years in the Making
Victoria Justice has released a new remix of “Love Zombie”, a song she first imagined as a teenager and finally put out last year after a demo went viral on TikTok. The renewed interest gave her a chance to revisit an idea that had been shelved by her former record label, and she hopes the track will remain a favourite, especially around Halloween.
Justice says the remix keeps the original’s playful spirit but gives it a darker, dance-club sound. She began writing the song at 17, while starring in *Victorious*, but it was not released during her time with Columbia Records; she later left the label and resumed releasing music independently in 2020. She says independence gives her more room to shape her songwriting and make music that feels personal.
