“‘your favorite girl’ is a song about the movie scenes we film, direct, and act in our heads while in the frenzy of a crush, how we cast ourselves as the female lead, the desire to adore and be adored,” he stated. “That feeling, at the end of the night, cheek against the pillow, with the AC purring, that we all just want to be someone’s favorite girl… ya know? :,)”

Country Girl’s “your favorite girl” captures the sunny warm kiss of being adored, the tender frenzy of a summer crush.

After creating the initial demo in his bedroom studio, Country Girl reached out to friends—Max Freedberg from Porches, Sam Glick from Test Subjects, and Saguiv Rosenstock from YHWH Nailgun—to refine the track, re-recording the drums, rhythm guitar, and bass guitar with better gear.

“I was pretty set on bouncing all the stems to tape, but I’d also heard many horror stories from tape-machine-owning friends of mine about the constant expensive repairs involved, so I ended up finding this spot Phaser Studios outside Milan that prints your stems to tape for cheap,” he added. “I mixed the song myself, and having all the parts in tape form really helped me bring the song into the warm soundworld I was looking for.”
