“OMG,” Suki Waterhouse is back with a new single.
Waterhouse has been teasing “OMG” — which she co-wrote with Natalie Findlay — on social media for about a week now. But it took a while for the shimmering pop-rock tune to get off the ground: “We started half the song and then put it to the side,” Waterhouse told Rolling Stone. “We were like, ‘It’s not working.’ And then two months went by and we were back in the studio, and suddenly this chorus came out with this energy around it.”
Taking cues from electric synth-pop and the garage rock revival, “OMG” is a bit vengeful and very full of attitude: “You know I only tried to play your games/ So you cannot forget my name,” she belts on that aforementioned energetic chorus. The music video, directed by Émilie Richard-Froozan, features Waterhouse in Edith Piaf-inspired glam — and gives us a glimpse of her growing baby bump.

“OMG” will be included on Waterhouse’s untitled new album, out sometime this year on Sub Pop. After appearing in Daisy Jones & The Six last year, she also recently teamed up with Belle and Sebastian for their single single “Every Day’s a Lesson in Humility.”
