"Skinnydipped" is a song by American singer-songwriter Banks. It was released on August 25, 2021, as the second single from her fourth studio album, Serpentina (2022). Banks, Henry Laufer and Ben Darwish wrote the song, while Banks and Laufer produced it. The track addresses themes of self-worth and release, with Banks describing it as being about letting go of something repeatedly revisited and embracing personal transformation.
An accompanying music video, co-directed by Banks and Michael Stine, presents women as mythic, siren-like figures in a natural setting, and it emphasizes ideas of sisterhood and empowerment. The video also features pieces from Bulgari's Serpenti collection which visually reinforces the song's themes of rebirth and shedding one's skin.
