GIRLI MAKES YOU ‘SQUIRM – NEW SINGLE OUT NOW!
Fearless alt-pop provocateur girli is back with ‘Squirm’ – the latest single to be lifted from her forthcoming third album ‘it’s just my opinion’, released via Believe Music on May 8th, 2026.
‘Squirm’ captures the messy, electric chaos of an overwhelming crush, when attraction tips into obsession and every look, thought and impulse starts spiralling out of control. Built around distorted indie-sleaze guitars, handclaps and a driving dancefloor beat, the track channels the sweaty-venue energy that runs through the forthcoming album.
Lyrically, girli leans fully into the awkwardness and humour of losing composure around someone you can’t stop thinking about, delivering a confident, high-energy alt-pop moment. It’s girli at her boldest yet – an authentic, confident evolution of the queer alternative pop voice she’s built her community around, eloquently previewing her forthcoming third album ‘it’s just my opinion’.
Growing up in North London, girli absorbed the chaos and hooks of the indie sleaze scene, and now she channels that restless energy into songs that feel alive, pulsing like a sweaty gig in Camden or Shoreditch. It’s classic girli alt-pop – nostalgic, chaotic, and fearless, but sharpened with a bold new edge.
girli has been teasing the new era since the end of 2025, sharing ‘Better Undressed’, the powerful ‘Slap on the Wrist’ and recently released ‘Romantic Sadness’. Known for her shimmering, high-concept production and fearless commentary, girli now pivots toward a more grounded, girl-next-door energy, trading gloss for grit, and polish for raw, intimate expression.
It’s about to be another huge year for girli as she’s hitting the road in full force, celebrating her new album and reconnecting with the community she’s beautifully built. From Edinburgh to Southampton and everywhere in between, she’ll be performing at record stores across the UK, showcasing tracks from the ‘it’s just my opinion’ and throwing in a few surprises along the way.
With summer festival stages on the horizon and momentum soaring after sold-out shows across the US, girli is heading back to North America in 2026 for a tour that promises to be louder, bolder, and more unapologetic than ever, sharing her opinions on a global scale.
Since emerging with her breakthrough sophomore album, ‘Matriarchy’, girli has carved a space in the alternative scene for bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. Her ability to merge pop essence with underground energy has earned her a tight-knit and dedicated fanbase.
As an openly LGBTQ+ artist and advocate for social change, girli continues to intertwine her personal journey with broader cultural conversations. Her past work has touched on themes of identity, politics, mental health, and more – and this new chapter builds on that same spirit of activism, but through a softer, more human lens.
