Tove Lo has been on the international music scene for almost a decade now, and fans are just finding out how to pronounce her name correctly. The singer recently shared a video to address the hilarious issue.
Last week, Tove Lo appeared as a guest judge on "RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars 7" to critique the contestant's Y2K girl group performance for the "Total Ru-quest Live" challenge.
The Swedish singer sat along with resident judges RuPaul, Ross Matthews, and Michelle Visage.
After the episode aired, a clip of the host introducing the "Out of Mind" songstress went viral on social media as it sounded different from what fans are used to.
"You could give me 100 tries to pronounce Tove Lo and I would NOT get this," one fan wrote.
Tove took to her official Instagram account to address the situation and teach fans how to pronounce her name correctly.
"Alright, it's time that I address this, my name, how to pronounce it," she said.
The "Queen of the Clouds" songwriter then explained that her name is pronounced "Tuve Lu" in Swedish, but she also embraces the international "Tove Lo" pronunciation.
"So you can think of it as voulez-vous, Tove Lo," the singer explained with a French phrase.
Tove Releases New Music Video Ahead of Upcoming Album
After waiting for almost two years, Tove Lo has finally announced her fifth studio album titled "Dirt Femme."
According to Pitchfork, the album, a follow-up to her "Sunshine Kitty" record in 2019, will be released on October 14.
First Aid Kit, Channel Tres, and SG Lewis contribute to the album.
To celebrate her announcement, the "Run On Love" hitmaker shared the song "True Romance," inspired by the movie of the same name.
Along with the new track, she dropped a music video.
Speaking about her latest single, the singer explained that "Dirt Femme" is about herself and her relationship with femininity.
At the beginning of her career, Tove Lo said she used to view her feminine traits as "weaver" and had to enhance her masculine traits to "get ahead in life."
Today, the singer said she's a pansexual woman married to a straight man and believes that masculinity and femininity live on a spectrum in all humans.
Producer Timfromthehouse AKA Tim Nelson co-wrote the song.
