Robyn season is truly upon us. Yesterday, the Swedish pop supernova finally announced Sexistential, her first album in almost eight years. She also followed her 2025 single “Dopamine” with two new singles that she debuted at her New Year’s Eve show, “Talk To Me” and the Sexistential title track. Of those two songs, “Talk To Me” is the obvious hit. It’s a longing, glittering dance-pop anthem that Robyn co-wrote with her old friend Max Martin, and it’s the one that got a music video. But when Robyn was the musical guest on Wednesday’s episode of Stephen Colbert’s Late Show, “Sexistential” was the song that she opted to perform.

This was an interesting decision! “Sexistential” isn’t exactly the most relatable song in the Robyn catalog. It’s the one where she raps about the extremely specific situation of trying to find random hookups while pregnant via IVF. Also, that song is full of cusswords, which would obviously need to be bleeped to broadcast on CBS. But Robyn is one of our great pop performers, and she truly brought it to that Colbert stage.

Robyn performed “Sexistential” completely alone, with the lyrics flashing on a screen behind her. She twisted her body up into pretzels while radiating the giddy joy that she always shows onstage. She got to spit the bar about “Adam Driver always did kinda give me a boner” on American broadcast television. (Sadly, Adam Driver was not the main guest on that Colbert episode. It was Chris Hayes, who would presumably give someone else a boner.) This was a beautiful thing to witness all around. Witness it for yourself below.

Sexistential is out 3/27 on Konichiwa/Young.
