The Recipe

"The Recipe" is the debut single from British-born singer-songwriter Dakota Prescott. Released on the 21 March 2016, the single was released on the same date as the album and featured pop singer Kleo. The song is Dakota's first official single, following three promotional releases in 2015.

Background
"The Recipe" is an electronic rock and alternative rock song, set against a "propulsive" synthpop groove. In an interview with Billboard, Dakota stated:

"It's definitely riskier than something a bit more... simple. It's so different and futuristic. And I don't mean futuristic in the sense of it's some cool techno beats, I mean the words are futuristic. The lyrics are words no other girl in the industry would dare say. I'm sick of girls trying to be flawless. I'll be badass, I'll sing about kicking a guy in the balls. Why can men be powerful in a song and girls can't? I tried to mix different cultures and eras — things that typically don't go together — to create a new sound too. I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. I think if I start with that mentality on my very first single, then hopefully in ten years time my career will still be fresh and successful. I'd hate to be called safe or boring, that's the one thing that would hurt me."
