Chvrches have released the third single from their forthcoming record Screen Violence. The new song, “Good Girls,” follows recent entries “He Said She Said” and “How Not to Drown.” Listen below.

According to a press release, “Good Girls” was the second song that Lauren Mayberry penned for Screen Violence. “The opening line (killing your idols is a chore) was something I wrote after listening to some friends arguing about the present day implications of loving certain problematic male artists,” Mayberry said in a statement, continuing:

I was struck by the lengths that people would go to in order to excuse their heroes and how that was so juxtaposed to my own experiences in the world. Women have to constantly justify their right to exist and negotiate for their own space. We’re told that Bad Things don’t happen to Good Girls. That if you curate yourself to fit the ideal—keep yourself small and safe and acceptable—you will be alright, and it’s just not fucking true.

Screen Violence is Chvrches’ fourth album and the follow-up 2018’s Love Is Dead. The record is out August 27 via Glassnote.
