googly eyes has announced a new EP titled ‘paint me like one of your fav american girls’, set for release on March 13 via Pretty Swede, Neon Gold, and Virgin. Alongside the announcement, she shares the new single “Bruises on the Peach” with an accompanying video. The track was written with Tove Lo and Flume and coproduced with Flume, marking another chapter in an ongoing creative collaboration that began through an artist development open call in 2023.
Speaking about the song, googly eyes says, “Bruises on the Peach is about vulnerability. To be known and loved deeply means sharing all your fears, insecurities, and pain points with someone. It’s a fragile ecosystem – you’re giving someone the blueprint to either wound you beyond repair or soothe your deepest hurts.” The single follows earlier EP tracks “I Don’t Go Out” and “Made Of”, both released ahead of the full project.
The announcement arrives after a strong end to 2025, with googly eyes’ track “Jesus and John Wayne”, performed with Joy Oladokun and August Ponthier, landing on NPR’s 125 songs of 2025 list. To date, her work has been fully written, recorded, and produced independently, with releases through Pretty Swede Records, the label founded by Tove Lo in 2022 in collaboration with Neon Gold.
