"Parasite is a four-year labor of love about what self-sabotage does to the psyche, what happens when you are out of your element in an environment where you aren't valued or seen, and what happens when you begin to believe the words of people who don't know you, said Delight. The song was written by Delight and Justin Mathews, who has frequently collaborated with Delight over the years, including her tracks Cherry Blood and Eat the Evidence."
"We started a long time ago and it was a really slow-going process and not just because of finding time, but also because I think that we were sort of shaking off the sort of being stuck and trapped in pandemic feeling, said Mathews. It is a song about self-sabotage, what it feels like when you cannot trust yourself to make the right decisions."
Miss Cherry Delight released the single Parasite, a rock track that probes feelings of inadequacy and the inner voice agreeing with negative external messages. The song emerged from a four-year process confronting self-sabotage, being out of place, and internalizing others' words. Justin Mathews co-wrote the track and noted that creation began while shaking off post-pandemic stagnation. Recording aimed for deeper musical depth and higher production quality, including contributions from live drummer Jared Lippy. The song reflects punishing self-expectations, the inability to trust personal decisions, and the emotional toll of letting others down.
