Victoria Justice Serves Dark-Pop Fun on "Love Zombie"

Oct 3

With a flourish of cinematic flair, Victoria Justice resurrects a long-dormant track and breathes new life into it with “Love Zombie”—her newest single released October 3, 2025. Once an unreleased vault song co-written by Justice along with E. Kidd Bogart, Aqualung (Matthew Hales), and Greg Wells, “Love Zombie” emerges today as both a nostalgia play and a fresh pop statement.

Thematically, the song leans into playful but intense romantic obsession: Justice sings of sleep lost, sanity fading, and love swallowing sense—“I’m a love zombie,” she intones, suggesting that only her beloved can resurrect her from emotional death. The juxtaposition of camcorder imagery, deep reds, and romantic longing gives the single a fierce impression that aligns well with modern pop’s taste for moody, genre-blurring vulnerability.

Musically, “Love Zombie” glides on polished production. Layers of synth, a steady pop beat, and atmospheric echoes support her vocal line, letting her voice oscillate between confession and dramatic yearning. And the hook—simple, sharp, and slightly haunting—has some staying power. Let’s just hope that we’re gearing up for a resurgence of more dark pop tracks from the singer in the near future.
