“Best Sex” will be the lead track and is slated for release October 2 –  Peppermint states –“”Best Sex” – a song for and about the fuqbois and my addiction to them. “As much as I hate to admit it,the best distraction from the search for love is good sex.”

A Girl Like Me: Letters To My Lovers also features a gorgeous cover of the Carole King classic, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.” “Obviously, I’m a Carole King fan. I love the lyrics, which I think are incredibly relatable in queer relationships and encounters as well as casual moments that may or may not turn into something more. The possibility of a relationship is usually inhibited by social stigma and fear of being seen in public with a trans woman.” says Peppermint.
