Ethel Cain Releases New Song “Fuck Me Eyes”
American singer-songwriter Ethel Cain will release her upcoming sophomore album “Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You” on August 8, 2025.
It is her first album in three years since the 2022 debut album “Preacher's Daughter”.
The album comprises 10 tracks, which she recorded and produced over the past year across studios in Daleville, AL, Coraopolis, PA and Tallahassee, FL. It explores the story of her first love, Willoughby Tucker.
From the album, Ethel Cain released the second single called “Fuck Me Eyes” on July 2, 2025, following ”Nettles”.
The song is an homage to American singer-songwriter Kim Carnes' 1981 “Bette Davis Eyes” and serves as an ode to girls who seem perfect and have everything, yet carry the reputation of being the town slut.
It was written and produced by Ethel Cain.- Ethel Cain said of the song, “Continuing in the theme of high school anxieties, 'Fuck Me Eyes' (on top of being an homage to one of my favorite pop songs of all time, 'Bette Davis Eyes') is meant to be an ode to the girls who are perfect and have everything, yet carry the reputation of town slut. The beautiful blonde who is just lonely and wants to be loved, that all the adults condemn to each other, who ultimately is the girl everyone simultaneously can't stand and wants to be.”

She continued, “I wrote the beginning of this song five years ago, making it the oldest demo for the record. As the story became more fleshed out, I realized it had a more relevant place on the album than I originally thought. This song represents Ethel's complicated feelings for the girl she's convinced has caught her crush's eye, as well as her 16-year-old thoughts on the matter.”
