"When Mike sent his vocals it was like choosing candy in a candy store, he had a million ideas, it was mind blowing. Beth recalled the collaborative process, highlighting Patton's prolific creative contributions to the track and the abundance of vocal options he provided for the final composition."
"the modern sellers of truth, who share their opinion online on how to 'better oneself,' giving an illusion of control - but all they really want is to be the centre of attention. Beth explained the song's thematic focus on contemporary influencers and their motivations behind sharing self-improvement content."
"The self-directed music video was inspired by Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, with Beth embodying Robert De Niro's role as a 'lonely outcast who doesn't have a place in the world' and Patton playing a preacher who changes her outlook on life before the two characters merge at the end."
Jehnny Beth of Savages has released 'Look at Me,' a collaboration with Mike Patton, her major musical influence. The track features Beth alternating between whisper-like and visceral chanted vocals alongside Patton's contributions, supported by aggressive percussion, bassline, and heavy guitar. Beth wrote the song about modern online influencers who sell self-improvement advice while primarily seeking attention. Patton significantly influenced Beth's 2025 album You Heartbreaker, You, making him the natural choice for this two-part composition. The self-directed music video draws inspiration from Taxi Driver, with Beth as a lonely outcast and Patton as a preacher whose influence transforms her character. Beth is touring Europe and opening for Deftones in Mexico City, while Patton tours with The Avett Brothers.
