girli turns rage into a rallying cry on “Slap On The Wrist”

girli returns with a fire-lit sense of purpose on her new release, “Slap On The Wrist,” a song that doesn’t whisper its message, it shouts it, sings it, and dares you to feel it. Fueled by rage, resistance, and unshakable resolve, the London-based alt-pop singer-songwriter delivers an explosive, uplifting pop-rock anthem rooted in the reality of everyday female safety and the anger that comes from being consistently dismissed.

“Slap On The Wrist” hits like a surge of adrenaline. It’s bold, purifying, and emotionally charged, built to sound like a rallying cry rather than a quiet reflection. There’s an undeniable sense of movement in the song, as if it’s pushing forward even when the systems it calls out refuse to. This is pop-rock with teeth, accessible, anthemic, and unafraid to confront uncomfortable truths head-on.

Written alongside Maude Latour, Milly Toomey, and Aidan Hogg, who also produced the track, the song channels collective frustration into something defiant and empowering. The writing feels direct and intentional, capturing the fury of survivors and the exhaustion of being unheard. girli makes it clear who this song is for and who it’s calling out. The message is raw and uncompromising, survivors deserve safety, belief, and justice, not dismissal or excuses.

“Slap On The Wrist” resonates so deeply because of its balance of anger and hope. It’s furious, yes, but it’s also unifying. This isn’t just a protest song, it’s a statement of self-worth and solidarity. girli transforms rage into something inspiring, reminding listeners that speaking out is powerful, collective voices matter, and a “slap on the wrist” has never been enough.
