Norwegian pop punk band Sløtface has recently shared their new single ‘Final Gørl’ in collaboration with the producer Preben Sælid Andersen – the track takes Haley Shea’s inspiration from ‘final girl’ trope in horror and slasher films, but with bit of a twist…
“In these movies the final girl is pure and virginal and better than all the other more overtly sexual women in the movie, which is why she survives,” Shea explains. “I wanted to flip the script on that, so the ‘I’ character in Final Girl is saying no to all those rules about who she has to be.”
Haley also adds: “In the song I’m singing a lot of lines to the killer in a horror movie, very aware of what genre I’m in, and saying, ‘No thanks, I don’t really want to be a part of these expectations.’ To me it symbolizes that women are often expected to try so hard to be liked and be everything to everyone, and in this song I’m embracing that we as women can also be lazy losers.”
