"'Private'" is a song by Australian singer songwriter Vera Blue, released on 17 February 2017 as the lead single from her second studio album, 'Perennial' (2017). "Private" was certified gold in Australia in 2020.
Vera Blue told Triple J the song was written in April 2016 and is about "that fantasy of wanting someone you can't have I find that's something everyone can relate to. There's that frustration from not being able to have something whether you fall for a friend or a celebrity..."
Reception
In a review of 'Perennial', Jessica Dale from The Music AU said "Its short and sharp at two and half minutes. Its a view into Paveys own fantasy world, playing on the concept of what she wants in her dreams verses what she knows is right in her reality."
