Evanescence and alt-rock visionary K.Flay have released the video for their explosive new song, “Fight Like A Girl.” (Watch HERE.)
The song plays over the end credits of Ballerina, the latest film set in the world of John Wick, now playing in theatres and available on PVOD.
Directed by Chad Stahelski, director of the John Wick films and producer of Ballerina, the music video is filled with plenty of its own action. Themes of vengeance, resilience, and female empowerment from the film are felt in full force in Stahelski’s first music video to date as Amy, K.Flay and the band perform in a dark John Wick style world that mirrors scenes from Ballerina. The intensity only heightens as the set catches fire and rain comes pouring down, summoning elements from the epic climax of the film.
“Ballerina has been an incredible ride that pushed me to team up with some of my heroes in both music and film,” Amy Lee said. “Along the way the project just kept getting bigger and better, and when it was time to talk about a video for ‘Fight Like A Girl,’ I was dead set on it being Chad. I just refused to shut up about it until it happened! We had so much fun making this, and Chad was a dream to work with. We are all absolutely thrilled to share what we made together.”
Chad Stahelski added, “When we finished making Ballerina, we knew we wanted to end the film with a song that personified the tone and energy of John Wick but with its own identity. After talking with our composer Tyler Bates, we knew who we wanted… Amy Lee and Evanescence. They delivered one of the best main on-end songs ever, a song that captures the film’s character and leaves the audience smiling as they leave the theater. To be part of the journey and to be able to work with the band on their music video was one of the best, and certainly one of the most fun, experiences of my career.”
Since its release, Ballerina has taken in over $130 million worldwide. Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Ballerina follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma. Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, with Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves, is directed by Len Wiseman, written by Shay Hatten, based on characters by Derek Kolstad, and produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Chad Stahelski.
Evanescence will kick off a run of live shows later this year, including My Chemical Romance: The Black Parade tour and Louder Than Life festival before joining Metallica on their M72 World Tour. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased here.
