What's better than shoes and (if you can even fathom) more shoes? A full-blown song, of course. What started as a hilarious viral interview moment from Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan has now transformed into a legitimate, streamable song just in time for the weekend.
On Friday, Nicola teamed up with songwriter and producer Ellis Miah to release a song titled, "Shoes...More Shoes," and it's a genuine bop. The dance track featuring lyrics that slay originated from Nicola and her Bridgerton costar Luke Newton's interview for Hits Radio UK in May.
In the interview, Nicola revealed that her "dream job" was to write a pop song in the style Real Housewives stars have become well known for. Think "Money Can't Buy You Class" by Countess Luann and "XXPEN$IVE" by Erika Jayne. Nicole hit the mark with lyrics like, "London, Galway, Tokyo / Grab some champagne good to go" and "Galway girl in Londontown / there's only one Lady Whistledown."

The song also features a killer reference to Countess Luann's signature song, with Nicola singing, "Money can't buy you class / but it can buy you a shit ton of shoes."

Proceeds from the song are going to LGBTQ+ organizations Not A Phase and The Trevor Project in support of Pride Month. "This one is for all the wee lesbians / all the girly pops," Nicola sings before calling out "transphobes."
