The song, which first surfaced during Lunoe’s set at London’s Drumsheds last year, marks a full-circle moment for the Australian DJ and producer.
“People say never to meet your idols but getting to meet Mel backstage at Coachella in 2024 and subsequently become friends was one of my favourite moments of last year,” Lunoe said. “It’s been so amazing to get to know the wonderful person behind the icon and this song found its home with Mel’s incredible vocal tone and heart. Is this actually happening? Ahh!”
Melanie C echoed the sentiment, saying, “After meeting at Coachella last year Anna and I have become great friends, we have so much in common, our love of music, being mums and dancing our asses off,” the British singer said.
“I’m super excited to be collaborating on Girl, it’s a banger!” she added.
With its hypnotic bassline and anthemic chorus, “Girl” showcases both artists’ strengths. The song’s lyrics capture a sense of release and empowerment: “I got all these things on my mind, and you know it / You got all these things on your mind, and we know it / Cause we got all these things on our mind / Gotta let them go.”
The collaboration follows a massive year for Lunoe, who released her album Pearl in 2024 and played major festivals, including Boiler Room Sydney and Beyond the Valley. She also served as a support act on The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour.
Lunoe will perform at Sydney’s Mardi Gras Heaps Gay party on March 2 and is set to hit the stage at the Australian Formula 1 Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 16.
