"Come On Aphrodite" turns up on Keep Your Courage, the April 2023 album that gave Natalie Merchant her first full-length studio record since 2014's Natalie Merchant, and like everything else on it, it's a love song. Merchant wrote the words and the music, and she brings in a guest lead vocalist, Abena Koomson-Davis, to share the spotlight.
The whole album is a song cycle about finding a brave heart. Merchant started writing it in late 2020 or early 2021, after years given over to raising a child as a single mother, and after surgery and an infection that turned into sepsis left her healing on the love and care of the people around her. They were the first songs she had written in six years.
