Victoria Justice announces musical comeback with single 'Treat Myself', thrilled fans call it 'best gift' ever

'"Think of it as my gift to you, and a prelude to what will be much more music to come soon,' Victoria wrote on her Instagram

Big news Victoria Justice fans: mark your calendars for December 11 as the actress and singer is stepping back into the music game with a new single. The comeback single, titled 'Treat Myself', was announced during the late hours of December 7 on Victoria's social media handle.

The singer shared a lengthy, personal message for fans about her plans on Instagram, along with a cover art pic for the track. "I made a promise to you guys and to myself that I was going to release music in 2020. My hope was to complete a full musical project and have an album or EP to release, but of course 2020 has not exactly turned out as many of us planned," she began in her caption, noting, "And instead of overthinking all of this, I just thought. F#%! it. I’m going to just put it out there."

Victoria continued, "I’ve written & recorded many songs over the past few years, but this one in particular has a message that I think is more important than ever to share now. I know that this year has been so hard for so many of us. We’ve been forced to spend more alone time than ever with ourselves. Which can on some days be a good thing, and other days not so good. That voice in our heads can tear us down, make us doubt ourselves & flat out lie to us. I wanted you guys to know that you’re not alone. I hope you connect with this song in some way and I hope it can also empower you. It comes from the heart and I’m so excited to finally share something with you all!"

The singer then said the song "will be out everwhere on Friday" and concluded her message with further encouragement for her fans. "Think of it as my gift to you, and a prelude to what will be much more music to come soon. Take it easy on yourselves, we’re all doing our best and we’re all going to get through this together. Love you all so much & words can never express the amount of gratitude I feel everyday to have your support." 

Numerous fans flooded Twitter with their excitement at seeing Victoria Justice make a return to music. "Omg seeing all victorians back makes me so happy, we're all so grown now but we're still here for you and super excited," said a fan to which the singer personally dropped a reply, "Love you guys sm!!"

One fan said, "I’VE ALREADY PRE-SAVED IT!!! You don’t even know how excited I am for this release, I’ve been waiting for a lot of time for new music from you and I’m so happy that this is finally happening, so proud of you, te amo mucho." Another write, "Im so excited for this release rn!! and i swear im gonna play this religiously." A user noted, "I'm shaking, I can't believe this day is here THE BEST GIFT OF ALL WE LOVE YOU."

Considering that Victoria's latest song is when she appeared on the group collaboration 'Love Song to the Earth' with a list of other famous names five years ago, it's understandable that her comeback would garner quick and prominent hype. Additionally, her latest album 'Victorious 3.0' released back in 2012, meaning fans have had eight years to wait for new music with only a handful of material or musical appearances presented since then.
