Peggy Gou pays tribute to her teenage years on new track "I Go"

Peggy Gou is back with her second new outing of 2021, "I Go", which sees her pay tribute to her teenage years.

"I Go" lands after last month's comeback single "Nabi", which marked the first new material from the South Korean artist/producer/DJ since 2019's "Hungboo" song.

Speaking about "I Go", Peggy Gou explains, "When I was a teenager in Korea, we didn’t have rave culture like there was in the UK. "I Go" is a tribute to that era, my own reimagination of the sounds I grew up loving. The lyrics are inspired by a note I wrote on my phone in 2019, staring at myself in the mirror of an airport toilet – I looked so exhausted but there was no way I wasn’t going to keep going! "I Go" is basically me motivating myself, finding courage and returning to a feeling of innocence. I hope people feel the same sense of positivity when they hear it."

Although "I Go" and "Nabi" are the first new outings from Peggy Gou since 2019, she did collaborate with Maurice Fulton on his "Jigoo" track last year.

Peggy Gou's "I Go" single is out now via her own Gudu Records.
