Daisy Peacock – girlbestfriend
Rising indie‑pop artist Daisy Peacock is back with her brand‑new single “girlbestfriend”, out 27th November 2025 via AWAL. It’s a fun, flirty anthem about “the girl he told me not to worry about” – packed with wit, honesty, and that cheeky edge that makes Daisy one of the UK’s most exciting new voices.
From the very first second, “girlbestfriend” kicks in with a catchy beat, bass line, and vocal melody. The production quality is sharp, giving the track a polished but still playful feel. The chorus drives with real energy, ending on the hook “Girl best friend” – a line that sticks in your head long after the song ends.
It’s one of those rare tracks where the verses are just as catchy as the chorus, giving the whole song a sense of momentum. There’s even a breakdown after the bridge that builds tension beautifully before exploding into one final, heavier chorus. At 2 minutes 56 seconds, it’s short, sharp, and bursting with replayability. Think Wet Leg vibes, but with Daisy’s own pop‑flavoured twist.
Written during her first year at uni, Daisy explains: “I wrote the song very quickly after that – it was just a bit of a rage reliever in the moment!”
That raw honesty shines through in lines like:
- “The girl he told me not to worry about”
- “I wrote the song very quickly… it was just a rage reliever”
It’s cheeky, confessional, and cathartic – the perfect recipe for a pop anthem.
The Artist
Born and raised in Sheffield, Daisy grew up surrounded by an eclectic mix of sounds. But it was her love of creative writing, singing, and the 2010s pop girls that pushed her to pick up a guitar and start turning poems into songs. Now based in Birmingham, she’s still flying the flag for girl‑power pop, with influences ranging from Taylor Swift to rising UK stars like Chloe Slater, Alessi Rose, and Nieve Ella.
Since her debut single “You Don’t Want Me Enough” landed her a Top 10 spot in Song Academy’s Young Songwriter Competition 2024 and a place on Citrus Records’ Songs of the Year list, Daisy’s gone from strength to strength. She’s supported acts like Alfie Jukes, Day Dreamers, and Blondes, and played festivals including YNOT and her beloved hometown staple Tramlines.
“girlbestfriend” isn’t just another indie‑pop track – it’s Daisy Peacock turning real‑life drama into a flirty, fearless anthem. With her knack for storytelling and her sharp Yorkshire wit, she’s carving out a space in the UK pop scene that feels both relatable and refreshing.
For fans of Olivia Rodrigo, Maisie Peters, Wet Leg, and Alessi Rose, Daisy’s music is a must‑listen. And with BBC Introducing already singing her praises, it’s clear she’s on the rise.
Final Say
With “girlbestfriend”, Daisy Peacock proves she’s got the chops to turn everyday heartbreak into something bold, catchy, and unforgettable. It’s a track that’ll have you singing along, laughing at the cheek, and maybe even thinking about your own “girl best friend” story.
