Molly Stone Finds Liberation In Contradiction On 'Just a Girl'

With her latest single, the London-based songwriter unpacks what it means to take control of a story that was never written for you. Co-written in Los Angeles with Leve and produced by REYA, “Just a Girl” uses bright, crystalline pop as a vessel for something deeper — a reclamation wrapped in melody.

Stone’s songwriting shines through her gift for detail: her lyrics twist double standards into punchlines, while her vocal delivery balances humour and heartbreak. There’s a sense of catharsis in how she plays with expectation — one moment coy, the next commanding. It’s a song that laughs as it liberates.

“We built the song around this idea that women are always underestimated. But actually, we’re much more capable—and even scary—if we want to be. I love playing with that duality: being underestimated and then turning it into power,” Stone says about the release.

“Just a Girl” positions Stone among a new wave of British artists redefining what pop confession can sound like: intelligent, instinctive, and defiantly self-aware.
