Tickled Pink

"Tickled Pink" is a download only release from British-Canadian recording artist Aimee Stevens. The track was released as a promotional single for "Colours", to minimise the gap between the EP's first and second singles. The song charted at #1 on the Download chart, becoming Steven's first single to do so.

Background
On 21 March, Aimee announced that "Tickled Pink" will serve as a promotional download-only single on 27 March. She also revealed the singles cover art alongside the announcement.

Release and reception
Alexis Petridis of The Guardian classified "Tickled Pink" as a "beautifully-crafted bulletproof pop song", while Manchester Evening News' Sarah Walters described the track as "a steamy, disco hit". Levine from Digital Spy rated the song four out of five stars; he regarded it as "brilliantly addictive", and "bouncier than a Labrador puppy on Ritalin, but classy too". Birmingham Mail critic Sean Coleman commended Aimee's emotion and harmonious vocal performance on the song, which he considered the standout from Colours. Fraser McAlpine of BBC gave "Tickled Pink" a full five-star rating, and highlighted the Aimee's vocal performance accompanied by the "raw, brittle emotion" in the song. The BBC's ChartBlog team listed the song on their "2017's finest five" list, describing the chorus as "the cherry on the cake". Andreas Borcholte from German news magazine Der Spiegel positively highlighted it in comparison to some of Aimee's prior filler singles.

The song also received negative responses. A journalist from the Stornoway Gazette called it "disposable" despite the "undeniably lovely" harmonies, and stated that the song would have no impact on the quality of Colours if it did not appear on the album.
