"Insatiable" on YouTube |
"Insatiable" is in the key of G minor and is played at a tempo of 144 beats per minute.
The music video showcases Darren Hayes looking at videos of an Italian starlet that he is infatuated with, the black-and-white filmography in the music video is said to be based off 1960's Italian romances such as La Dolce Vita. The video continues with Hayes showing he has allowed his hair to grow, and has dyed it blonde, which is his natural hair colour.
Hayes said in a HuffPost piece in 2022 that although US label executives were initially enthusiastic about the song itself, after they were shown a rough cut of the video, they feared Hayes appeared "too gay" for American audiences and wanted to "overhaul" his image "so as not to scare off fans".[1]
