"Whore" was the third and last single cut from Blood, In This Moment's fourth studio album, sent out on Century Media in December 2013, and the band meant for the title to sting. Singer Maria Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth wrote it with Kevin and Kane Churko, and Kevin Churko produced, recorded and mixed it into a hard nu-metal gloss.
Howorth framed it as a reclamation: strip the slur of its power and what's left is a big, bruising rock song with crushing guitars and huge drums. Brink went further for the online campaign, posing nude with the word on her back and a dunce cap on her head, an image she meant as a raw, vulnerable stand for anyone trying to climb out of a painful place toward the self-worth they deserve.
