Five original songs
The Hot Flash Mixtape
Still Hot. Still Here. Still Losing It.
Menopause After Dark isn't just a film — it's a full-on 90s hip-hop fever dream with five original songs that hit hard, hit funny, and hit home. Inspired by the raw energy of early hip-hop and R&B, the soundtrack turns hot flashes, brain fog, and mood swings into anthems.
Side A
Meno-Boom
The opening salvo. A full-throttle hip-hop banger that announces the arrival of menopause — loud, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.
I'm Fine
A sarcastic anthem for every woman who has ever smiled through the chaos and insisted everything is completely under control.
Testy
A sharp, funny ode to mood swings — the kind that go from zero to volcanic in under three seconds and somehow still make perfect sense.
Overload
Sensory overload set to a beat. When the noise of wellness culture, unsolicited advice, and your own body all hit at once.
Effects May Vary
The closer. A wry, triumphant send-off that owns the unpredictability of it all — because the side effects of being a woman are many, and they are spectacular.
The Sound
The music of Menopause After Dark draws from the golden era of 90s hip-hop — the swagger, the storytelling, the refusal to be quiet. Audrey Walters wrote the lyrics and vocals to capture the internal monologue of a woman who is done pretending. Shaun Hettinger built the beats to match: propulsive, layered, and full of attitude. Together they created a soundtrack that turns one woman's experience into something universal — and undeniable.
