FKA Twigs has always been known for her artistic risks and avant-garde vision. Her latest album, EUSEXUA, is no exception. Among its many bold choices, one stands out as particularly unexpected. North West, the 11-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, makes a striking appearance on the song Childlike Things.
This collaboration is not just a celebrity feature. It is a moment that spans generations, defies time, and feels almost mystical in its alignment.
A Collaboration Destined to Happen
FKA Twigs does not simply create songs. She crafts ethereal experiences that transcend the ordinary. Childlike Things is a track that carries deep personal significance. Twigs originally wrote it when she was 12 or 13 years old, a time when she was dreaming of stardom and imagining herself surrounded by eccentric, visionary artists.
“It is almost like the most distilled version of myself,” she shared. “It is about dreaming of being a star. It is about dreaming about being around artists and dreaming about being around people that are eccentric.”
For years, the song remained incomplete, waiting for its missing piece. Twigs realized that it needed a voice filled with youthful fearlessness, someone with the kind of raw energy that only exists before the world teaches you to doubt yourself.
That voice belonged to North West.
North West: A New Generation’s Fearless Voice
FKA Twigs admitted that as a child, she lacked the kind of confidence she saw in North West. While watching an interview with North, Twigs had a realization.
“I was not that confident when I was a kid,” she admitted. “And then I was like, okay, it has to be North. She has to put her point of view on the song.”
North did not just participate. She wrote her own verse. Instead of delivering something superficial, she chose to write about her faith.
“She came and she wrote about her faith, which I think is really powerful,” Twigs said.
At just 11 years old, North was not simply featured on a song. She became a true artistic collaborator, mirroring Twigs’s own creative journey as a child.
A Collaboration That Transcends Time
One of the most surreal aspects of this collaboration is the way it defied time itself. Twigs wrote Childlike Things when she was around 12 or 13. At that time, North West did not even exist.
Years later, when Twigs was 36, she revisited the song. North, now 11, added her perspective. The ages lined up almost perfectly, as if the song had been waiting for the right moment to be fully realized.
“We have collaborated through time,” Twigs mused. “This has been a collaboration that has taken decades to come to fruition.”
Artistic destiny rarely feels this precise.
Art That Knows When It Is Ready
FKA Twigs believes in omens and the idea that art arrives when it is meant to.
“I do believe in omens,” she confessed. “And I do believe that North helped make this song come to life after so many years.”
This was not just another celebrity feature. It was a creative process that unfolded over decades, waiting for the right voice and the right energy to bring it to completion.
And when that moment arrived, it was undeniable.

The Lasting Impact of Childlike Things
More than just a song on EUSEXUA, Childlike Things is a testament to the power of youth, confidence, and artistic synchronicity. It proves that certain creative visions do not fade with time. They simply wait until the right moment, the right person, and the right energy align.
In this case, that moment belonged to North West.
FKA Twigs did not just invite a child onto her album. She recognized a kindred spirit. She found in North the same unshaken belief in oneself that she had written about as a child. She saw a voice that was fearless, self-assured, and ready to take up space.
With this collaboration, Twigs and North have created something that is more than music. It is proof that art can bridge generations, defy time, and exist in a realm beyond explanation.
