Kylie XO claps back with fire in "Who's Laughing Now?"

Kylie XO pulls no punches on her latest release, "Who's Laughing Now?" a flammable, no-apologies hip-hop anthem that's revenge on the page. Packed with shaking, volcanic energy and a beat that stomps through speakers like it has something to prove, Kylie XO blows up the roof, dancing all over it with unfettered confidence and a scream that won't be stifled.

The production doesn't back her message but amplifies it. The beat parades with a swagger, marrying a percussively combative rhythm to no-nonsense confidence without an inch of give. It's fast, it's ferocious, and it doesn't miss. This track lives in that ideal zone where rawness meets refinement, and you get an actual story and a gut-punching sound.

Inspired by actual betrayal at the hands of a very particular, manipulative agency that body-shamed Kylie and exploited her, she turns past suffering into empowerment, flipping the script on every bar she spits. The raw emotion is palpable, and you can feel every syllable, punchline, and ounce of frustration transformed into a new ferocity. There's something almost cathartic about it, especially for those who've ever felt underestimated, written off, or walked on. 

"Who's Laughing Now?" is its emotional honesty, skinned in defiant red. Kylie XO is not playing a role here, but she is the storm. The track doesn't plead for sympathy; it requests acknowledgment. That's the sound of an artist taking back their own story, and it lands like a call to arms for anyone who has grown weary of being underestimated or overlooked.
