Fresh off a standout 2024 that included her Eurovision-shortlisted track ‘Lovable’, Latvian pop artist Marta returns with ‘Fangirls‘ – an uplifting anthem dedicated to the fans who make the music industry thrive. With infectious melodies and vibrant production, ‘Fangirls‘ is a love letter to her dedicated community, the Martinis (which she wittily references in the first verse), as well as to the passion and support of music lovers everywhere.
Leaning into her signature pop storytelling, Marta delivers an energetic, feel-good track that perfectly captures the excitement and camaraderie of being part of a fanbase, singing “Fangirls make the world go round.” Built around groove-laden bass lines, dynamic percussion, and enthralling hooks, ‘Fangirls’ radiates warmth and gratitude. Marta’s gentle yet confident vocal delivery elevates the song’s emotional core, striking a balance between playfulness and sincerity.
“In my nine years as an artist, I’ve never felt as supported as I do now,” Marta shares. “’Fangirls’ is a love letter to the people who champion my music and to all the fans who carry the music industry on their shoulders. Their passion, dedication, and support make all the difference, and I hope they feel seen and appreciated when they listen to this track.”
‘Fangirls’ also marks an exciting new creative collaboration for Marta, as it is her first release with female writer-producer duo INK – Marie White and Emily Cox. Written and recorded in London, the track was crafted in a space of pure joy and enthusiasm, something Marta believes shines through in the final version. “The whole experience was incredibly fun and wholesome,” she says. “From the very beginning, we all felt so excited about this song, and I think that energy really translates into the music.”
With two acclaimed Latvian albums and a growing international fanbase, Marta continues to establish herself as a dynamic pop artist with a knack for crafting heartfelt, catchy songs. For fans of Griff, Maisie Peters, and Taylor Swift, ‘Fangirls’ offers the perfect blend of polished pop production and deeply personal lyricism. As she gears up for an exciting year ahead, Marta’s latest single is a joyful reminder of the connection between artists and the people who believe in them.
‘Fangirls’ is out now on all streaming platforms.
