At the age of 12, Milly Toomey originally wanted to pursue a career as an actress, but after two unsuccessful auditions, she left the dream behind. Three years later, she formed an all-female band where she played the role of singer and guitarist. She wasn’t the easiest person to get on with, however. Or, in her own words: “I was totally neurotic. I was the bossiest, most annoying band member ever.” After the group fell apart, she decided to carry on on her own, adopting the stage name Girli.

After singles like Hot Mess, Day Month Second and Deal With It, she put out her debut album Odd One Out in early April. The closing song has now been chosen as Girli’s new single. Another guitar-based electropop song, which is about having mood swings. But, the singer concludes, “This is me, and if you want me around you, take it or leave it.”
