Girl Group return with ‘She Goes’, a dark, addictive rush of desire, identity, and full-contact emotion. The Liverpool-based five-piece have built a reputation for fierce, joyful, feminist pop, and their new single pushes that mission further with a tighter focus and a sharper edge. It lands after last month’s ‘Rage Song’ and shows how much range sits inside their sound.
‘She Goes’ captures the moment you see someone who feels unreal. The kind of girl who stops you in your tracks. The kind who seems to move through the world with a confidence you recognise but cannot fully claim. Girl Group describe that instant with playful honesty, asking the question many listeners will recognise: “Do I want to be her, be her friend, or kiss her on the lips?” That confusion sits at the centre of the track, fuelled by desire, admiration, and the strange intensity that comes with seeing your own longing reflected in someone else’s glow.
The track’s production shapes that feeling with precision. Maria leads the sound with moody electronics, thick bass lines, and jagged indie guitars. The contrast gives the single a pulse that feels both confident and uneasy. The guitars lean into grunge, while the electronic layer adds depth and drama. Together, they form a world that sounds unmistakably theirs. It feels more controlled than ‘Rage Song’, but the bite remains clear. This shift suggests a band who know their strengths and want to refine them rather than soften them.
A year shaped by momentum
The release of ‘She Goes’ arrives at a crucial moment for the band. Last month, they won NRK P3 Urort 2025, Norway’s biggest rising talent award, a recognition that follows an already rapid rise. Their live shows have become known for energy, precision, and community. Crowds connect with the band’s honesty and wit, and young fans in particular have found a space that feels open, loud, and safe.
This autumn, Girl Group will bring ‘She Goes’ to the stage with key dates across the UK. They play The Great Escape’s First 50 at London’s Moth Club on 13 November, followed by Live At Leeds on 15 November. Both shows promise up-close performances that echo the house-party roots of the band’s earliest gigs. Those roots remain part of their identity, even as their stages get bigger and their audiences grow.
Their summer run helped drive that growth. The band supported Olivia Dean and delivered high-energy sets at Reading and Leeds, Dot To Dot, Get Together, and Liverpool Sound City. Their Reading and Leeds BBC Introducing appearance drew the biggest crowd of the weekend, confirming the buzz around them. The group also curated their own headline night with Queensway, a Liverpool FLINTA-focused DJ collective, building a show that reflected the community they champion. Alongside their debut EP Think They’re Looking, Let’s Perform, they continue to expand their reach, performing tracks in session at BBC 6Music and gaining recognition from major radio voices.
The power of community
Girl Group formed at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Katya, Maria, Thea, Mia, and Lil arrived with different influences, styles, and stories. However, they found themselves invited to songwriting sessions only as guests, while their male peers were treated as the default. That pattern created frustration but also a spark. They decided to build something of their own. Something proud, loud, and self-defined. Girl Group became that outlet.
Their writing turns anger into something active. It moves frustration toward solidarity and joy. They have said they want listeners to dance, shout, and question everything at the same time. The songs wrap humour around heavy ideas, making the message more accessible without losing its weight.
‘She Goes’ continues that mission. It stands as a celebration of desire, admiration, and the chaos of working out who you are. With influences ranging from Wolf Alice and Wet Leg to Sabrina Carpenter and feminist punk writing, the band mix sharp commentary with a sound that invites movement. Their journey began with house parties and DIY filming sessions, and they continue to build a world shaped by community, creativity, and fearlessly honest pop.
Girl Group are not only building momentum. They are building a movement. ‘She Goes’, indeed.
