Evanescence and K. Flay , a rising star in alternative rock, released the music video for "Fight Like A Girl" last Monday, the 7th.
Channeling the film's themes of revenge and resilience, as well as female empowerment, "Fight Like A Girl" is the closing track of the film Ballerina . The feature film is a spin-off of John Wick, starring Ana de Armas as Eve , an assassin seeking revenge against her family's killers. The film premiered in June 2025.
The music video director, Chad Stahelski, commented: “When we finished filming Ballerina , we knew we wanted to close the movie with a song that embodied the tone and energy of John Wick , but with its own identity. After talking with our songwriter, Tyler Bates , we knew who we wanted… Amy Lee and Evanescence. They delivered one of the best closing songs of all time, a song that captures the personality of the film and leaves the audience smiling as they leave the theater. Being part of this journey and being able to work with the band on the music video was one of the best, and certainly one of the most fun, experiences of my career.”
Amy Lee spoke about when Tyler Bates, the film's composer and producer of the track, made the invitation: “Tyler calling me to create this song for 'Ballerina' couldn't have come at a better time. I know I'm not the only girl ready to stand up and show the world what we're made of. I really wanted this song to be a collaboration, and K. Flay is one of my favorite artists. It's literally a dream come true to do this together!”
K.Flay also shared his experience: "Amy sent me the demo and I was immediately so energized, so inspired."
“I was on tour at the time and wrote my lyrics backstage after a show, when my adrenaline was still pumping. For me, the film and the song are about how we channel our pain and how we choose to define ourselves. What separates the hero from the villain?”
