Australian genre-blender Milkah returns with her most vulnerable and intoxicating release yet, No Good For You — a hyper-pop confessional pulsing with afro-soul grooves, flashes of Spanish guitar, and the shimmering twang of an Indian sitar. Where her previous single Golden felt like a radiant introduction, this track dives deeper into the tension between how we are seen and who we truly are. The result is a sonic kaleidoscope: playful in rhythm, fearless in storytelling, and unapologetically personal.
The song draws its heartbeat from Milkah’s own reflections on beauty, womanhood, and the male gaze, delivered through production that is as layered as her emotions. Her lyrics balance soft vulnerability with sharp self-awareness, making each line feel like an unfiltered diary entry set to a danceable beat. The afro-soul percussion keeps the track grounded, while the sitar and Spanish guitar add unexpected cultural textures that turn No Good For You into something far beyond the typical pop single.
Visually, the accompanying music video — filmed in South Korea — amplifies the track’s duality. With nods to both Marilyn Monroe and Monica Bellucci, Milkah plays with the fine line between allure and exposure, glamour and fragility. The camera catches her in moments of poise and moments of breaking, a reflection of the song’s central truth: beauty is often both celebrated and suffocating. It’s a concept she executes with striking self-command, letting the visuals echo the song’s emotional arc.
Co-produced by Fred Irie and Jordy Fresco, No Good For You sits comfortably alongside artists like Kali Uchis, Amaarae, and early Doja Cat — yet remains distinctly Milkah’s. There’s an energy here that feels global, a refusal to be boxed into any one style or identity. As a follow-up to Golden, this single is a confident leap forward, proof that Milkah’s rise is no accident. It’s bold, intimate, and impossible to ignore — exactly the kind of statement that turns a promising artist into a defining one.
