URGENT UPDATE: In a shocking turn of events, Holly Valance’s provocative new song, Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse, has been removed from Apple Music just days after it shot to the top of Australia’s iTunes chart. The track, which critiques cancel culture and “woke” ideology, has sparked heated discussions since its release on January 26, 2026.
The former pop star, now a vocal right-wing activist, collaborated with Pauline Hanson, leader of the One Nation party, to create the song for the satirical film, A Super Progressive Movie. The film was launched to coincide with Australia Day and has already generated significant controversy for its bold themes.
Valance’s lyrics, which include lines mocking gender identity and virtue signaling, opened with the contentious phrase, “You will respect my pronouns.” The song’s chorus, a play on her iconic 2002 hit “Kiss Kiss,” quickly evolves into a fierce critique of perceived leftist ideologies, declaring, “I’m a real biological woman,” and “I’ll intimidate, I’ll indoctrinate.”
Just hours after reaching the number one position on the charts, users attempting to access the song on Apple Music were met with an error message stating, “The page you’re looking for can’t be found.” As of now, Apple Music has not publicly addressed the removal, leading to speculation about the platform’s stance on controversial content.
Valance has expressed her outrage on social media, claiming that the removal is indicative of a broader trend of silencing right-wing voices. In a tweet following the song’s removal, she stated, “Actual liberals are FOR free speech. Libtards….. not so much.” She further criticized the double standards in music censorship, highlighting the ongoing presence of violent and explicit content by other artists on the platform.
The backlash from Valance’s supporters and critics alike has been swift. Many are questioning the implications of this censorship. Valance herself remarked, “As long as you’re keeping people dumbed down and numb, you’re fine. Do not under any circumstance give right wingers a chance to have an opinion. Theirs don’t count.”
The film A Super Progressive Movie portrays a dystopian world under the leadership of a fictional Prime Minister Hanson, and aims to satirize current political climates. With a storyline that follows four progressives facing the consequences of their ideologies, it has been met with both acclaim and criticism since its release.
As the debate around Valance’s song continues to unfold, it raises important questions about artistic expression, censorship, and the current landscape of political discourse in the arts. With the song’s sudden removal, many are left wondering how platforms like Apple Music will navigate the fine line between content moderation and freedom of expression.
For now, all eyes are on Valance as she navigates this unexpected turn of events. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
