Birmingham-based, rising indie-pop sensation Daisy Peacock is having a moment, and honestly, we’re here for all of it. Her new single “Girlbestfriend” is out now via AWAL, and it’s the perfect blend of playful pop attitude and brutally relatable storytelling.
Written during her first year at university, “Girlbestfriend” turns a messy talking-stage situation into a cathartic, witty anthem. We’ve all been there, you’re talking to a guy, things seem promising…and suddenly there’s a girl best friend in the mix. Spoiler alert: she’s actually the ex.
Rather than spiral, Daisy picked up a pen and a guitar. “I wrote the song very quickly after that, it was just a bit of a rage reliever in the moment!” she laughs. Produced by Jamie Sellers with recording help from friend Oli Roberts, the track sparkles with Daisy’s signature charm and sharp self-expression.
Daisy grew up in Sheffield, surrounded by a melting pot of musical influences, but it was the power of creative writing and the pop-girl icons of the 2010s that shaped her sound. Think the emotional punch of Taylor Swift, the edge of Olivia Rodrigo, and the rising energy of artists like Chloe Slater and Alessi Rose. Now living in Birmingham, Daisy continues to carve out her place in the UK indie-pop scene with unapologetically fun, flirty, girl-power-fuelled music.
“Girlbestfriend” is in stores now via AWAL.
