girli Makes You ‘Squirm’ – The New Single Out Now!
New Album ‘It’s Just My Opinion’ – Release May 8th 2026
LISTEN TO SQUIRM
PRE-ORDER IT’S JUST MY OPINION HERE
[March 31st, 2026 - New York, NY] 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.

Since emerging with her breakthrough sophomore album, she has carved a space in the alternative scene for bold, boundary-pushing storytelling. boundary-defying album ‘Matriarchy’ is a deeply transparent exploration of both the struggles and triumphs of queer identity and womanhood, reinforcing her positions as an ambassador for the LGBTQIA+ community and a front-runner for the next generation of alt-pop music. She received praise from The Fader, AS IF Magazine, Bust Magazine, inclusion in GRAMMY.com’s rising LGBTQ artists, and Billboard who said: “..Matriarchy is absolutely essential.”
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.

ABOUT girli
Girli, also known as Milly Toomey, was born and raised in north London. She started out singing in bands, but soon realised she was "too much of a control freak" not to go solo. She adopted her stage name and signature pink hair during this period as a way of "weaponizing everything that was being used against me". Right from the start, girli took pride in being slyly subversive. "The word 'girly' has so much stigma attached to it because it's often used to belittle femininity," she explains. "I wanted to take that word and turn it into something powerful, and I changed the 'y' to an 'i' so people would be able to find my music on Google.
Now, with over 100 million stream, fans around the world are embracing girli's music as an inspiring and comforting part of their everyday lives. She’s been featured in major outlets like Billboard, Glamour UK, Queerty and GRAMMY.com’s Pride Month Playlist Of Rising LGBTQIA+ Artists.
