Sextape (song)

"Sextape" is a song by the American alternative metal band Deftones from their sixth studio album, Diamond Eyes (2010). It was released as the third single from the album by Reprise Records on October 1, 2010. Musically, "Sextape" is a shoegaze song that has been described as one of Deftones' most sensual works. Critics noted the song's atmospheric textures and highlighted its contrast to the band's heavier material. Lyrically, the frontman Chino Moreno described the song as an abstract expression meant to "paint a picture of a feeling", with interpretations ranging from sensual imagery to broader themes of emotional connection and introspection.

The accompanying music video, directed by Zak Forrest and Chad Liebenguth of ZFCL, premiered on September 3, 2010, and preceded the songs' release as a single in October. Upon Diamond Eyes' release, "Sextape" received generally positive comments. It has since become a fan favorite and staple of Deftones' live performances, and has earned multiple certifications, including Platinum in the United States, Silver in the United Kingdom, and Gold in New Zealand.
