"Private"
Song

"Private" is a song by Australian singer songwriter, Vera Blue and was released on 17 February 2017 as the lead single from her second studio album, Perennial (2017).

Vera Blue told Triple J the song was written in April 2016 and is about "that fantasy of wanting someone you can't have… I find that's something everyone can relate to. There's that frustration from not being able to have something whether you fall for a friend or a celebrity..." [1]

Reception

In a review of Perennial, Jessica Dale from The Music AU said "It’s short and sharp at two and half minutes. It’s a view into Pavey’s own fantasy world, playing on the concept of what she wants in her dreams verses what she knows is right in her reality." [2]
