girli – Squirm
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 designed for both playlists and the live stage.
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 this Summer she’s hitting the road in full force, celebrating her new album and reconnecting with the community she’s beautifully built. Her new North American Tour will kick off right where it all began: Baby’s All Right, where she made her New York debut. She’ll be at the Brooklyn venue on June 11th, followed by stops in major cities including Chicago, DC, LA, and Toronto.
