“Do you know when the Real Housewives release pop songs exclusively for gay men? That’s my dream job! Because they don’t actually sing, they just list things… like shoes, private yachts, caviar, more shoes!” Coughlan said during the interview with Hits Radio UK, parts of which were posted on TikTok, where Coughlan’s comment quickly went viral.

The line “Shoes, private yachts, caviar, more shoes” was eventually remixed by DJ and record producer Ellis Miah, who posted the short dance mix on his TikTok page with the caption “Let’s get Nicola Coughlan (her) dream job and make her a club icon!”

The clip has since been viewed nearly 5 million times on the platform, prompting fans to campaign for an extended version of the mix.

Now Coughlan and Miah have given them exactly what they wanted in the form of a brand new track that the pair collaborated on.

“Like Lennon & McCartney, Dylan and other great lyricists, I wrote my first song by improvising a few voice notes to @ellismiah in the 30 minutes I had before getting ready to go to Mighty Hoopla,” Coughlan wrote in the caption of an Instagram post on Friday, alongside a preview of the song. “Thank you to all the Queer Icons and Real Housewives who have served as my inspiration, I live for you.”

According to Coughlan, proceeds from the song will be donated to two charities in celebration of Pride Month: Not A Phase and The Trevor Project.

“I’m so thrilled that my encyclopedic knowledge of Real Housewives and Drag Race has led to one of the silliest and funniest things I’ve ever gotten to do,” Coughlan said in a press release. “As a fan of Ellis since ‘Read U Wrote U,’ I’m honored that he took a random interview quote from me and turned it into a brilliant way to raise money for two very worthy charities: Not A Phase and The Trevor Project.”
