‘Girl Code’ is a bittersweet ode to friendships that fall apart, delivered beautifully by one of pop music’s new leading lights.
Pop singer Edie Yvonne shares her latest single, ‘Girl Code,’ on the day the young artist celebrates her 15th birthday.
Edie Yvonne hails from Los Angeles. She has emerged as a formidable singer-songwriter in recent months, with her young age proving no hurdle in her journey to success. The artist has won praise for several accomplished and unique singles, which she has dropped monthly throughout 2023. Many of Edie’s tracks have become high-streaming success stories, including the deliciously macabre ‘Darkness Bliss,’ the pop-dance number ‘Queen Bee,’ and the ultra-catchy acoustic way ‘In The Rain’.
With her music, Edie has developed an ongoing audio and visual aesthetic. Her music captures the stresses, social pressures, heartbreaks, and disappointments of being a teenager. Her songs are witty, raw, and always intensely relatable.
‘Girl Code’ comes as Edie gets set to build on the success of her recent musical releases. Having collaborated with her long-term producers Nicky Swedin and Cormac Liotta in the past, this new song marks Edie’s first collaboration with producer Rio Root and her first writing collaboration with Maddy Simmen.
According to Edie, ‘Girl Code’ follows the artist’s excellent adolescent anthem, ‘Queen Bee.’ Having just started high school, Edie says that she has taken an interest in writing songs related to the changes in friendships and challenges in relationships that occur at this fragile age.
The result is a song that is both heartbreakingly relatable and searingly honest. ‘Girl Code’ offers an alt-rock/pop production with emotive chord progressions and an earworm of a bassline to boot. Against this backdrop, Edie delves into the acute feeling of loss that happens when we lose a friend and aren’t fully sure why. “Girl code and promises, breaking like glass,” she intones, with her slightly husky voice making every word feel like a piece of shattered glass. In this song, Edie paints a picture of loss, missed opportunities, and failings between two people. Almost every line in this song has a subtle twist at the end, highlighting just how much pain the lead singer is in: “Your hand on the wheel – and then we crash”/ “You go find me a boy, just to grab him.”
In the chorus, she contemplates what exactly went wrong for this friendship to reach its demise: “When did it end/I lost a friend/You hurt me again and again,” before she ultimately concludes: “You’re just somebody I knew…”The song accompanies the ‘GIRL CODE’ manifesto, which Edie wrote to accompany the music. She has also teased that Girl Code will be the name of her debut album, which is slated to be released shortly.
