girlpuppy Announces New album “Sweetness”, Shares New Song “I Just Do!”
Atlanta-based indie rock singer-songwriter Becca Harvey, aka girlpuppy has announced her upcoming sophomore album “Sweetness” will be released on March 28, 2025.
The album is her first LP in three years since the 2022 debut album When I'm Alone and comprises 10 songs, produced by Alex Farrar.
From the album, she released a new song “I Just Do!” on February 4, 2025.
The song is the third single off of the album, following “Windows” and “Champ”.
It was written by Becca Harvey, Rebecca Alexis Harvey, and Alex Farrar who also produced the track.
Becca Harvey said of the song, “I wrote this song after spending 6 days in Los Angeles with a guy I had an all consuming crush on. It's just about that feeling of knowing you're wasting your time by developing feelings for someone who is completely emotionally unavailable, but you do it anyway because it feels good. I wrote this entire song and then recorded a voice note of me singing it acapella in my bathtub (where I get lots of inspiration for songs). I brought it to Alex [Farrar] and he built the instruments around the melody I wrote and it turned out so much fun. This is definitely gonna be my favorite song to play on tour.”- The accompanying music video was directed by Trent Wayne. It takes inspiration from the late David Lynch, Pee-wee's “Playhouse”, and Hong Kong romantic comedy films of the 2000s.
Becca Harvey said of the video, “I had the idea for the vampire/vampire hunter love interest plot and when I told Trent about it he knew he could make it happen. He ended up adding in the detail that the vampire hunter is my ex and his new girlfriend (his girlfriend irl!) is at this party we both are attending. We filmed the video at our friend Kay's house (which was already decorated perfectly) and had so much fun with all of our friends. Becoming a vampire for this video fulfilled my dream of being a Cullen.” -
Director Trent Wayne said, “Becca and I created this vampire-themed video as a playful ode to forbidden love, with a healthy dose of camp. Drawing inspiration from the late David Lynch, Pee-wee's Playhouse, and the charm of Johnnie To's early 2000s Hong Kong rom-coms. In the story, a vampire hunter hunk crashes a rainbow-hued house party, where a vampire finds herself drawn to him.” - source : Apple Music
