"Cool Girl" is a song by Swedish singer and songwriter Tove Lo. It was written by Lo with the record production duo Jakob Jerlström and Ludvig Söderberg, AKA The Struts, who produced the track. "Cool Girl" was released for download by Island Records on 4 August 2016 as the lead single from Lo's second studio album, Lady Wood. The song peaked at #15 in Sweden the week after its release. The music video premiered on 19 August 2016.

Background and development

The writing process of "Cool Girl" started when Lo was having a day-off during her tour in Copenhagen, Denmark. While staying in a hotel room, she received a bass line from Jakob Jerlström and Ludvig Söderberg, known collectively as The Struts, who asked her if she wanted to write lyrics to it. Having liked the track, the singer set-up her bedroom studio and started listening to it on repeat. She had recently watched the film Gone Girl (2014), and started analyzing a monologue by the character portrayed by Rosamund Pike talking about being a "cool girl".[1][2] Lo added, "I just remember this monologue that she has in the movie where she says that she's changed a lot things about herself to become someone that she thought her husband would want."[2] Inspired by the monologue, she wrote the melody, chorus and pre-chorus with sarcastic lyrics, and sent the track back to The Struts. They reunited later in Stockholm in early 2016 and finished the song.[1]

"Cool Girl" was written by Lo and The Struts; the latter also produced it, programmed it, and played the bass, keyboards, guitars and the percussion instruments. They recorded the track at the Wolf Cousins Studios in Stockholm.[3] John Hanes engineered the song, while Serban Ghenea mixed it at MixStar Studios in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Tom Coyne mastered it with assistance of Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound Studios in New York City.[3]

Release

On 20 July 2016, Lo posted a couple of pictures that featured the lyrics of a new song to her Instagram account using the hashtag "soon".[4] Five days later, she uploaded two GIFS with the same lyrics and hashtag of the previous post, also on Instagram.[5] On 29 July, Lo revealed via Twitter that her new single was called "Cool Girl", uploaded a 7-seconds instrumental of the track and announced its release date.[6] It was made available for digital consumption on 4 August 2016,[7][8] as the lead single from the artist's second studio album, Lady Wood (2016).[9][10] Six days later, Republic Records announced that "Cool Girl" would be sent to US contemporary hit radio on 23 August 2016.[11] It impacted the same format in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2016.[12] The artwork for the single depicts the singer licking a donut,[13] which Idolator's Carl Williott opined it was something that only Lo could have done.[13] Writing for the same website, Robbie Daw considered it "an understated song for a lead single from a major artist".[13]

In an interview with iHeart Radio, Lo said she selected the song as the first single because she felt it was a "great introduction" to the album, as it exemplified Lady Wood's mix of pop melodies and personal lyrics with "minimal and aggressive" beats. She also added that "it was fun to come out with something that wasn't a knife-to-the-heart twist like most of last record".[14] New Zealand singer Lorde praised the track via Twitter one day before its release, saying it was the "pop song of the summer".[15] Regarding this claim, Lo commented, "I was very excited because she's such a great writer. There's so many female pop artists out there and everyone's supporting each other, which I think is really cool."[16]

Composition and inspiration

"Cool Girl" was inspired by a monologue by Amy Elliott-Dunne (portrayed by Rosamund Pike, pictured) from the 2014 film Gone Girl.

"Cool Girl" is a downtempo[17] electropop song with elements of techno and house music,[18][19][20] with a length of three minutes and nineteen seconds.[3] Its instrumentation incorporates a deep synthesizer bass line.[13][17] It is written in the key of A minor and set in common time signature, with a tempo of 102 beats per minute. Lo's vocals span from the low note of E3 to the high note of D5.[21] During the chorus, a synthesizer riff is played and vocal inflections are used in the background vocals.[22][23] The track is included in "Fairy Dust", the first chapter on Lady Wood,[24] which discusses the "initial high" in a relationship.[25]

The song's main lyrical theme was inspired by the "Cool girl" monologue from the feature film Gone Girl (2014), when Amy Elliott-Dunne (portrayed by Pike) "goes from being a victim to a psycho."[26] During that scene, Elliott-Dunne says, "He loved a girl who doesn't exist. A girl I was pretending to be. The Cool Girl". The singer stated that the monologue moved her because it showcased the way people tend to change themselves for somebody else.[14] She added, "I was thinking about it, and it's really true. Why do we try to be someone we're not to make someone love us? Would you want to fake yourself for the rest of your life? That's fucked up. Even though [Amy Elliott-Dunne is] creepy, I kind of thought it was funny that it's just very common to see that."[19] On the other hand, she said the musical style of the track was inspired by the music played at the minimal techno raves she had attended the past two years prior writing the song.[16]

Lyrics and meaning

According to Lo, a "cool girl" is somebody who is "honest, and real, and doesn't apologize for who she is, and just doesn't let anyone else affect who she should be".[14] She has also said that the lyrics of "Cool Girl" are written in a sarcastic and ironic way,[27] and that they talk about the games that people play at the early stages of romantic relationships, in order to have control over their partners.[28] She added, "It's almost like you stay cold and don't really show your emotions to kind of have the upper hand, in a way".[14] In the chorus, "I'm a cool girl / I'm a, I'm a cool girl / Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy", Lo is being ironic in order to trick her partner into thinking that she does not care about his actions. She explained, "Obviously I care, I would not even be rolling my eyes. I guess it's just the usual way of adding to the story of the game. You always try to act like you don't care but that's all, you do really."[27] During the bridge, "I got fever highs / I got boiling blood / I'm that fire kind / We could burn together", the singer admits that she is not a "cool girl" and that she prefers to have a passionate connection with her lover.[19][27]

Some critics had diverse opinions about the meaning of the track. Writing for The Guardian, Alexandra Pollard noted the song's sarcastic tone and concluded that the lyrics were about the false lack of interest people, especially women, are "expected" to show during the beginning of a relationship.[29] Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone opined that "Cool Girl" describes the "varying roles and expectations in casual relationships",[19] while Kyann-Sian Williams of NME stated that the lyrics talked about stripping the labels in a relationship where the protagonist does not want commitment.[30] Alim Kheraj of DIY labelled it as a "non-conformist anthem" where the singer prefers "lusty casualness" over monogamy.[31] On the other side, Jenesaispop's Jordi Bardají concluded that the song talked about wanting freedom in a relationship, as indicated on the verses, "We don't put a label on it, so we can run free, yeah".[32] Similarly, Amy Mackelden of Bustle said the singer preferred to have a casual relationship, as indicated on the lines, "No, let's not put a label on it, let's keep it fun". She also noted that the lyric "I wanna be free like you" hinted at the "outdated expectations often placed on women to only be in monogamous relationships".[18]

Critical reception

Heather Phares of AllMusic selected "Cool Girl" as a "track pick", saying it set the musical tone for the rest of the record.[33] Amy Mackelden of Bustle considered it the "perfect summer anthem" because of its "bold" lyrics. She also praised the track's themes about casual relationships.[18] Kyann-Sian Williams of NME included "Cool Girl" on his list of the artist's seven greatest songs, and opined that the "contrast of the slow and mellow verses compared to the liveliness of the refrain" made the song "great".[30] Madison Vain of Entertainment Weekly called it "pop gold",[34] while Fuse's Bianca Gracie labelled it as a strong contender for song of the summer, adding that it had an "undeniably infectious hook".[35] Evan Sawdey of PopMatters called it a wobbly single that "struts in a deep funk that stands out from the rest of the album".[36]

Newsday's Glenn Gamboa said "Cool Girl" was a stylish song that showed "how crafty [Lo] can be with her lyrics when the groove, offered by producers The Struts, is unstoppable".[37] The staff of Jenesaispop called it a groundbreaking track with a subtle hook and elegant production.[38] Katherine St. Asaph of Pitchfork wrote that the song had a sassy, stuttery chorus and added that during the bridge Lo emulated Sia.[23] Writing for The Line of Best Fit, Ed Nash labeled "Cool Girl" as one of "pop anthems of the entire year" because of its "infectious" chorus.[39] The staff of website Idolator gave the song an average score of 7.4; Robbie Daw said it had a subtle, club-friendly charm, while Rachel Sonis called it a "sarcastic, flirty anthem". Mike Wass was more critical, saying "Cool Girl" was neither the song of the summer nor the track of the week.[13] Beth Bowles of Exclaim! opined that, although "Cool Girl" was catchy, it "felt like the product of a record label".[40] Adam R. Holz of Plugged In included the song among the "objectionable content" on Lady Wood because of its themes about commitment-free relationships.[41]

Commercial performance

Sebas E. Alonso of Jenesaispop noted that the song was not as successful as Lo's previous singles "Habits (Stay High)" and "Talking Body" in North America.[42] "Cool Girl" debuted at number 84 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on its opening week.[43] Two weeks later, it re-entered the chart at number 88, following the release of its music video.[42] The song spent a total of five non-consecutive weeks on the Hot 100.[44] "Cool Girl" also reached number 39 on the Pop Songs list.[45] In Canada, the song had a better reception, reaching number 42 and 34 on the Canadian Hot 100 and Canadian Digital Song Sales charts, respectively.[46][47]

The song charted in various European countries. In Sweden, "Cool Girl" entered the Singles Top 100 chart at number 16 on 12 August 2016. The following week, it peaked at number 15.[48] It spent sixteen weeks on the chart,[48] and received a Platinum certification by the Swedish Recording Industry Association for selling 40,000 units in the country.[49] On 18 August 2016, "Cool Girl" entered the UK Singles Chart at number 55.[50] On its eight week on the list, it reached its peak at the forty-sixth position.[51] The song was certified Silver by the British Phonographic Industry on the week of 7 July 2017 for selling 200,000 units in the country.[52] In Denmark, "Cool Girl" reached its peak position of number 26 on the Track Top 40 chart,[53] and was certified Gold by the IFPI Danmark for 45,000 copies sold there.[54] In Germany, the single peaked at number 43 on the Top 100 Singles chart,[55] and received a Gold certification by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie, denoting 200,000 units sold in the country.[56] In France, "Cool Girl" only reached number 145.[57] Despite this, the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) certified it Gold for selling 66,666 copies in the country.[58] In Spain, "Cool Girl" entered the country's Top 100 Canciones chart at number 96 on the week of 31 August 2016.[42] On 18 September 2016, it peaked at number 79.[59] In Italy, the track only charted for two weeks on the Singles Chart, reaching number 49.[60] However, it managed to receive a Gold certification by the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana (FIMI) for exceeding sales of 25,000 copies in the country.[61] Elsewhere in the continent, "Cool Girl" reached the top 30 in Norway and the digital singles charts in both Czech Republic and Slovakia.[62][63][64] It also received a Gold certification by the Polish Society of the Phonographic Industry for selling 10,000 units in Poland.[65]

In Australia, "Cool Girl" debuted at number 52 on the ARIA Singles Chart on its opening week.[66] It later reached the thirty position,[67][68] and received a Gold certification by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for selling 35,000 units in the country.[69][70] The song was also the seventy-ninth most-streamed song in the region in 2016.[71] In New Zealand, "Cool Girl" reached position 15 and spent fourteen weeks on the Top 40 Singles list.[72] Recorded Music NZ certified the track Gold, denoting 15,000 copies sold in the country.[73]

Music video

The song's music video, directed by Tim Erem, premiered on 19 August 2016, via Lo's Vevo channel.[74] The video is a part of the short film, Fairy Dust, which features the first six songs from Lady Wood. According to the singer, the "Cool Girl" segment of the film represents the part where she is free from her "self-destructive side", portrayed by Lina Esco, with whom she has a "love and hate relationship".[28] The video shows Lo dancing in overalls around and on top of a car filled with people at a motel. About this scene, the singer explained that she wanted to include a choreography for the first time on a music video because she was being "sarcastic and cheeky in the song" and it felt "more playful and sexy".[28] Another scene depicts her with her head shaved and bare midriff dancing on top of a display case in the desert, which represents her freedom from her self-destructive side.[28]
