Diana Vickers (@dianavickersofficial) is a British singer, songwriter, and actress from Lancashire, England. Not too long ago, she released a shimmering, tongue-in-cheek pop anthem, “Pretty Boys,” which follows hot on the heels of her summer comeback single, “Ice Cream.”
Diana Vickers – “Pretty Boys” (Official MV)
Coinciding with the new track, the official music video directed by Leo Cackett unfolds as a sequence of bold, cinematic vignettes that blur the line between fantasy and reality. Drawing inspiration from cult classics like Basic Instinct, 90s fashion campaigns, and Kylie’s iconic visual era, it layers fragmented but cohesive imagery into a fever-dream of power and desire. As an independent artist, Diana had full creative control over the concept, styling, and energy of the video, shaping every detail to reflect her own vision and confidence. She appears tangled in an intimate embrace with a Pretty Boy; with scenes of Diana striding through Shore ditch at night, a provocative statement on freedom, femininity, and reclaiming the narrative.
“Pretty Boys” is about self-worth, sexual confidence, and breaking toxic patterns. The track marks a new era for one of Britain’s most magnetic voices. Co-written by Diana, Dee Adam (Tom Grennan, Baby Queen), and George Glew (Deaf Havana), who also produced the record, “Pretty Boys” pairs glistening 2000s-inspired pop production with razor-sharp lyricism and Diana’s unmistakable vocals, playful, fearless, and unapologetically feminine.
Speaking about the track, Diana Vickers says, “After my type always turned out to be the toxic narcissist and after spending hours in my therapist’s chair, I decided it was time for a change. Honestly, I recommend going for the pretty boys because they do it better. ‘Pretty Boys’ is about reclaiming my power and stepping into my most confident, sexual energy. In the video, I’m channeling my inner Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct -unapologetic, dangerous, and completely in control.”

Since her unforgettable breakout on The X Factor, Diana Vickers has carved an eclectic and fearless creative path. Her debut single “Once” and Number 1 album Songs From The Tainted Cherry Tree cemented her as one of Britain’s most exciting young voices. Beyond music, she’s starred in West End productions (The Rise and Fall of Little Voice, The Rocky Horror Show, and currently starring in Coven at Kiln Theatre), appeared across TV and film, and cultivated a devoted following as one half of viral comedy duo Ki & Dee.
2025 has already marked a major return for Diana from her viral summer collab with Picky Bits to the launch of her hit podcast Just Between Us with The Metro, which debuted at #2 on the UK Society & Culture charts. Now, with “Pretty Boys,” Diana Vickers steps into a bold new chapter, blending pop nostalgia with a fiercely modern attitude, reclaiming her narrative with wit, swagger, and the kind of anthemic energy that only she can deliver.
