Victoria Justice is officially back from the (musical) dead with her latest single, “Love Zombie,” a track that fuses the thrills of romance with the chills of horror. The song proves that love can be just as terrifying as it is thrilling — and it’s already making waves with its infectious chorus and cinematic energy.
“Love Zombie” thrives lyrically on its clever mix of love and horror tropes. Justice spins eerie imagery into metaphors for infatuation, singing “Six feet down and only you can raise me” and “I think I lost my mind / Can you help me find my sanity?” The repeated chorus line — “I-I-I’m a love zombie” — captures the consuming, almost supernatural nature of falling for someone.
Justice’s delivery perfectly balances vulnerability and humor. She sounds overwhelmed by emotion but never loses her playful tone, transforming the classic zombie archetype into a fun and flirty metaphor for being lovestruck.
Musically, “Love Zombie” leans into an upbeat dance-pop sound that feels both urgent and fun. The production carries a pulsing energy that makes it equally fitting for Halloween parties or year-round playlists. It’s a track that brings together the drama of love and the fun of horror — a combination that feels distinctively Victoria Justice.
What makes “Love Zombie” even more special is its backstory. Justice reveals that she first wrote and recorded the original version of the song when she was just 17, during her early label days. “So many of the songs I wrote then never saw the light of day,” she shared. “But after this one leaked and got such a strong reaction online, I knew I had to re-record it, make a few tweaks, and bring Love Zombie into 2025. This feels like honoring my younger self, and it’s so fulfilling to know that energy isn’t wasted.”
With “Love Zombie,” Justice not only reclaims an old creation but also reintroduces herself to the pop world with confidence and creativity. It’s a reminder of her evolution—from Nickelodeon star to fully realized artist—and her ability to transform nostalgia into something new and vibrant.
“Love Zombie” is available now on all major streaming platforms. Whether you’re in it for the spooky vibes or the heartfelt lyrics, this track will have you dancing—and maybe even feeling a little undead in love. 💋
