Rubberband Girl has returned with her third single, Nothing But A Smile as she leans in to a disco sound.
Nothing But A Smile follows previous releases South Suburban Weekend and Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.
In the track Rubberband Girl deflects heartache and anxiety, instead focussing on remembering her own qualities. As she explains, “I wrote ‘Nothing But A Smile’ with the sentiment of living in the moment. It’s about enjoying your youth and the good times, despite the inevitability of bad days and mishaps around the corner. The line ‘With nothing but a smile and the radio on’ is a reference to the time a reporter asked Marilyn Monroe if it was true that she had posed nude for a photoshoot, to which she replied ‘No, I had the radio on!’”
The track was written solely by Rubberband Girl with production from Jonathan Quarmby.
