After revealing her hidden ambition to release a jokey pop-anthem earlier this year, Coughlan has teamed up with producer Ellis Miah to make her dream a reality.

In an interview with Hits Radio UK in May, Coughlan shared her admiration of the musical careers of her favourite reality TV stars. “You know, when the Real Housewives release pop songs just exclusively for gay men? That’s like my dream job,” she said. “‘Cause they don’t even really sing, they just list things. They’re like, ‘Shoes, private yachts, caviar – more shoes.”

After the interview, Miah remixed Couglan’s words above a house instrumental, and posted it on TikTok with the caption “Let’s get Nicola Coughlan her dream job and make her a club icon!”

In celebration of Pride Month, the pair united to record a full version of the track, with proceeds from the song going to LGBTQ+ charities Not a Phase and The Trevor Project. ‘Shoes More Shoes’ was released on Friday (June 28), just in time for London’s Pride celebrations.

In an Instagram post announcing the song, Coughlan wrote: “Like Lennon & McCartney, Dylan and the other great lyricists I too wrote my first song by improvising some voice notes to [Ellis Miah] in the 30 minutes I had before getting ready to go to Mighty Hoopla

“Thank you to all the Queer Icons and Real Housewives who served as inspiration, I live for you.”

Bridgerton’s relationship with pop music has been well-documented, with Season Three including an orchestral version of Pitbull’s club hit ‘Give Me Everything’ used during a particularly steamy love scene. The cover went viral, leading to Pitbull responding to the song’s success. On Instagram, he wrote that it “Shows the world how music is the international language that transcends over boundaries more so how a hit song can remain timeless.”

In a three star review of the new season, NME said: “Based on a series of blockbuster novels by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton may be more playful and progressive than most shows of this ilk, but it still relies on tired tropes like the need to beget a male son and heir. Thankfully, even at its cheesiest, it’s a treat to look at. Queen Charlotte’s brilliantly ridiculous wigs are set off by Rosheuvel’s scene-stealing facial expressions: her bored and haughty look is particularly meme-able.
