"Michelle Pfeiffer" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Ethel Cain featuring the American rapper Lil Aaron from the former's third extended play (EP), Inbred (2021). The song was written by Cain, Lil Aaron, and Kora Puckett; the latter two assisted in its production. It was released, along with a visualizer, through Cain's own Daughters of Cain record label on February 11, 2021, as the EP's lead single. Lil Aaron introduced Cain to the publishing company Prescription Songs and the two recorded the song in a Los Angeles studio.
Titled after the actress of the same name, "Michelle Pfeiffer" is an indie rock track about doomed lovers consumed by their desire. It also discusses the cinematic scope of Los Angeles and the broader Western United States, including guitars and drums into its soundscape. Lil Aaron's verse reflects on his thoughts of dying in a car accident. Upon its release, the song garnered positive reception from music critics; Pitchfork considered it one of the best songs of 2021, and the song received further approval from The Line of Best Fit and The Fader.
