Victoria Justice has released her newest song “Love Zombie,” which proves love can be as terrifying as it is thrilling.
Lyrically, the song thrives on its blend of romance and horror tropes. Justice uses lyrics such as “Six feet down and only you can raise me” and “I think I lost my mind / Can you help me find my sanity?” to remix zombie clichés to describe the consuming nature of being infatuated with someone.
The repetition of “I-I-I’m a love zombie” in the chorus helps to bring the story home — love isn’t gentle and subtle; it’s overwhelming and contagious to the point that it almost feels supernatural. Justice delivers an equal balance of vulnerability and humor throughout as she sounds overwhelmed by feelings, but also uses playful exaggerations.
Victoria Justice leaned into the dance pop sound with this new single, evoking both urgency and fun. It almost feels designed for a Halloween playlist, but it can also work all year round as a love song mixed with some horror.
“Love Zombie” is a fun take on the overwhelming feeling of love. Victoria Justice mixes horror imagery with catchy pop to show how love can take over both the heart and the mind. The playful, memorable track shows the equal split between drama and fun.
