about

We wrote this song as part of a commission for POWA Scotland who create opportunities for women and gender minority musicians to make music that raises awareness of the issues women face when working in the industry, as well as in their personal lives. Ashley explained what the song is about for the POWA newsletter:

"We are taught by society and its cult of beauty to be jealous of each others success. We are made to think that the only true measures of a woman's worth are youth and beauty. These ideas are used to pit us against each other in our daily lives and especially in the workplace where there are less women in positions of power, and less opportunities to get ahead. I wanted this song to show that we aren't fucking falling for it anymore."

lyrics

You’re not like those other girls
You’re not like those other girls
You’re not like those other girls
You’re not like those other girls


Other girls keep me awake at night
But not for obvious reasons
I think about all the women I've hated
And it starts to feel a lot like treason

Watching all of their sweet success
Wishing I was living their life
Nothing kills like sweet jealousy
Nothing dies harder than spite


You’re not like those other girls
You’re not like those other girls
You’re not like those other girls
You’re not like those other girls


Other girls supposed to make me nervous,
Their beauty should break my heart
I think about all the hours I've wasted
Wishing I could play their part

They stand for my rights, I stand for theirs
We're building bridges when they tell us to be scared
She'll steal your image, she'll tear you down
She'll build me up we'll burn your something to the ground
Coz!


I'm just like those other girls
Those other girls are just like me!
I'm just like those other girls
Those other girls are just like me!


My sister is not my enemy
She’s my my guiding light through tragedy,
Confidant and remedy
To all that is dangerous

And we are
In danger

We are being wrenched
Torn
Forced apart
We are lost
We are split
We are divided

This what they want.

Are you going to give them what they want?

I'm just like those other girls
Those other girls are just like me!
I'm just like those other girls
Those other girls are just like me!


You’re not like those other girls
Those other girls are just like me!


I'm just like those other girls
Those other girls are just like me!
I'm just like those other girls
Those other girls are just like me!
