It was released on April 13, 2018, by Zelig Recordings[2] as the second single from her debut extended play Make My Bed.[3] The song has been described by MTV as "a quintessential song about heartbreak, as the singer calls out to someone long gone and out of reach".[4] King Princess has said that Talia was her way of dealing with heartbreak.[5] [6] [7]
Music video
The music video was released over a month after the initial release of the song and as of January 2022, it had amassed over 9.7 million views. The video was directed by Clare Gillen.[8] The video features King Princess rolling around and caressing a sex doll. The video has been described as: "an emotional stand-in as King Princess gnaws and smokes her way through losing someone special." Amandla Stenberg who worked on the video as a colorist has said: "[the doll is] kind of ironic, self-aware idea of a sex doll, something that's generally discarded and abused by men. But you get to see a gay girl treating it with love and respect."[9]
In other media
"Talia" was featured in the film Mainstream (2020) starring Andrew Garfield and Maya Hawke.
