girli Announces New Album “it's just my opinion”, Shares New Song “Romantic Sadness”
London-based alt-pop singer-songwriter girli has announced her upcoming third studio album “it's just my opinion” will be released on May 8, 2026 via Believe Music.
It is her first album in two years, following the 2024 album “Matriarchy”.
From the album, she released they third single called “Romantic Sadness” on February 26, 2026, following “Slap On The Wrist” and “Better Undressed”.
The song is a pop anthem that captures the strange urge to romanticise pain just to survive it, built on ethereal synths, cinematic strings, and a bold, driving beat.
It was written by Milly Toomey and Ross Gilmartin, who also produced the track.- girli said of the song, “This song is based on something my younger sister said to me. She was going through a breakup, and she said, “it’s hard when you can’t even romanticise the sadness anymore, and it’s just sad.” I knew I had to write a song about that, about the way we try to romanticise our lives to cope with difficult things and seek comfort in feeling like our life is the plot of an arty indie movie. The lyrics are very visual; lipstick on a wine glass, smoking on a windowsill, Jane Austen novels and Robyn breakup songs. It’s about trying to run away from your sadness but it following you wherever you go.”

The new album comprises 12 tracks and is sharp, cohesive, and rooted in who she’s always been.
It’s classic girli alt-pop, nostalgic, chaotic, and fearless, but sharpened with a bold new edge.
girli will run a record store tour in support of the album in May.
She said, “I can’t wait for you to hear these songs, and for my uk babies i’m doing a record store tour in May.”
