Background and composition

Milkshake Man was written by Go-Jo alongside Amy Sheppard, George Sheppard, and Jason Bovino, all current or former members of the band Sheppard, which competed in the first edition of Eurovision – Australia Decides in 2019 with "On My Way". [1] [2] The song, characterised by synth pop sounds, [3] aims to be a "motivational push" for the listener, encouraging them to discover "the most colourful version of themselves and feel confident". [4] In addition to its positive message, the lyrics play on subtle double entendres, suggesting more daring and provocative nuances behind the playful and light-hearted facade. [5]

Music video

The music video for Milkshake Man, directed by Josh Harris, was made available to coincide with the single's release through Go-Jo's YouTube channel. In the video, the singer, along with a group of women, is busy making milkshakes inside a traditional ice cream truck, while the atmosphere is charged with a festive energy and strobe effects. [6]
