Victoria Justice's 15-Year Song Finally Gets Its Moment

Victoria Justice's "Love Zombie," a song that took 15 years to release, is now finding its audience. Justice initially conceived the idea for the track at age 17, but it was shelved by her previous label. She eventually requested to be released from her contract and took a break from music.

Independent music releases began for Justice in 2020. A demo of "Love Zombie" later leaked and became a viral sensation on TikTok, prompting her to officially release it last year. The song's popularity led to a remixed version being released recently, which Justice describes as having a dance club, dark, and sweaty feel.

Reflecting on her independent career, Justice stated she has more creative input and can produce more personal music. This contrasts with her prior experience where she felt unsupported creatively and her music wasn't promoted to radio. She also noted the enduring popularity of her Nickelodeon show "Victorious."
