Victoria & Ashnikko Team Up for New Song “DADDY”
Italian rock band Måneskin's bassist Victoria De Angelis, aka Victoria teamed up with American singer-songwriter Ashnikko to release a new song “DADDY” on June 6, 2025.
This marks the first collaboration between Victoria and Ashnikko.
For Victoria, the song follows the collaborative single “T-Shirt” with Miss Bashful and Tommy Genesis, which was released back in March.
Meanwhile, Ashnikko joined the song as their first collaboration of 2025.
The track was written by Victoria De Angelis, Ashton Nicole Casey, Mikkel Cox, and Oscar Scheller. Produced by Victoria and Mike Hawkins.
Victoria said of the song, “Daddy came together from the mix of Ashnikko's hard and unapologetic energy with a clubby, sexy beat built for the dancefloor. I loved the contrast between her fierce dominant lyrics, with a playful and bold beat. Daddy is all about flipping the script, taking control, and dominating men in the most playful, provocative way. It's fun, confident, and a little unhinged in the best way, exactly the kind of track I love to play out. A hot, high-energy track perfect for shaking your ass this summer! Go enjoy it!!”- Victoria told EUPHORIA. Magazine about the song, “We immediately clicked. We just had the same vision. I prepared the beat with a Japanese vocal sample. But Ash turned it around and made it hers. That's how she came up with that killer verse. It's about celebration. Being yourself and not giving a fuck.”
Ashnikko added, “Music is so powerful. This song is centered around kink. Within kink is play, theater, and the subversion of power dynamics. The song is a bit silly and comedic. Music is undeniably playful. I like to try to create joy in music.” - source : Apple Music
