Witch

"Witch" is a song performed by British recording artist Alesha featuring vocals from The Uraps Factor series two winner Malaya. "Witch" was written and produced by Alesha for her ninth studio album Alesha (2014). Following promotional single "Renaissance", "Witch" was Alesha's first official release after a three-year hiatus in which she privately struggled with depression. Alesha described the track as "a feminist thunderstorm," which draws influence from "misunderstood" historical figures like Joan of Arc, Marie Antoinette, and the many women accused of witchcraft.

Musically "Witch" is a chaotic, electronic number with a constantly morphing beat. The song was described as "a gigantic party tune" that bares the most resemblance to Alesha's earlier material. "Witch" received widespread acclaim from reviewers, who called it a "welcome return" and a worthy official first single from Alesha. Critics also praised the inclusion of Malaya, who performs the bridge and trades lines with Alesha in two of the song's three verses. Upon its release, "Witch" ___.
