Hooker On A Church Corner

Hooker On A Church Corner is a song written by Bella-May and produced by Fernando Garibay and was released as the second and final UK single to Bella's sophmore self titled album. The song marked Bella's last release under Strawberry Records and debuted at #1. It is her second best selling single to date and has sold 371,666 copies.

Background
Bella recorded the track in April 2011 with record producer Fernando Garibay who has previously worked with superstars like Midnight. When in the studio with Garibay, Bella requested the pair work on a song similar in style to track "The Escort" - a mid-tempo, eery track whose lyrics focused on prostitution. According to Garibay in a September 2011 interview, the track had 17 different versions before the final one was chosen. The track contains the lyric "I am the Escort, the one they all know", which was also a lyric in the chorus to "The Escort". Bella later included this lyric again in the track "World War Sex", a track she featured on with Lucas Brandt.

Critical Reception
The track was considered to be "something very different" for Bella, musically, according to The Guarding. "Lyrically", they added, "It's typical Bella. Slutty, but somewhat crafty". They praised Garibay for the tracks production. Popjustice's review of the song said it was "Different. We're not sure how to feel about it yet". The Guardian claimed the song was "Part 2 of "The Escort" and that can only be a good thing".

Music Video
The music video was filmed in Miami at the end of June 2011 and directed by Bella-May and Trudy Bellinger. The video saw Bella reprise her role as a famous porn star called Chastity (previously seen in the "Marble Cake" video) and is based during Biblical times and is set in Jerusalem. Throughout the video, Chastity seduces the 12 apostles of Jesus. When it is Jesus' turn for some good lovin', Chastity ties him up and performs S&M acts onto him. The video ends with Chastity placing a crown of thorns around Jesus' pubic area.
