Background

Speaking of the single, Brian said: "'Twisted' is a pure pop track that allows me to highlight a lighter side to my music. At the end of the day, I want to show everyone that there's some depth and variety with my new album and hopefully fans can be energised by the song. I am so grateful to my Australian fans for their support and it's time to have some fun!" The video of the song was shot in Sydney, Australia, with many scenes shot in Kings Cross. McFadden wears red make-up on his face in the video. He is seen partying and having a good time. He then gets arrested and has many photos taken of himself in prison. He is then shown racing around the streets with his friends in a convertible. This is a reference to A Clockwork Orange . The video also features his fans at parties.
