Dom Dolla delivers highly anticipated new single ‘girl$’:Listen

Serving as a new leader of modern house music, Dom Dolla has spent 2024 performing iconic sets at Coachella and alongside John Summit at the Outdoor Theatre. Now he is delivering one of the most anticipated singles of the year with his latest single, girl$.

Although girl$ is getting an official release today, it has been a staple of Dom Dolla performances for months now. Fan videos alone have racked up over 46 million views across platforms. In discussing the writing process, Dolla details how he discussed past relationships with friends of his:

“girl$ was inspired by a conversation I had with a bunch of friends who were all tired of bad dates… and had eventually come to the conclusion they were giving up on the whole charade. In ‘24 we have so much choice. Nobody is limited by who they want to love or spend time with… whether that’s a guy, girl, or even just relish in their own company.”

The official release of girl$ will surely only add fans’ love for the infectious new track. Although Dom Dolla originally wrote and sang the vocal, he reached out to his friend Caitlin Stubbs for the final version.

“I wrote the lyrics based upon a story a friend relayed to me about a wild night out she had. I recorded it and heavily affected my vocals, but felt it needed a strong female performance, so I reached out to my good pal Caitlin Stubbs and asked if she was keen to re-perform the vocal, her voice is fantastic and suits the record so well. I even left some crumbs of my vocal in there too.
I hope you all enjoy the record as much as I enjoyed making it.”

The track itself is built on a foundation of claps and a pulsing bass line that serves as the opening measures. When the full force of the track hits, the bass and percussion drive the rhythm while a high-pitched lead adds to the flavor of the single. Throughout the three and half minutes of music, Dolla expertly filters elements in and out, creating an exciting array of peaks and valleys before closing out with a pure force of its elements for the final minute.
