The Beaches Close Out the Party and Kick Off a New Era with “Last Girls At The Party

Fresh off their Juno win for Group of the Year, The Beaches are keeping the momentum going with the announcement of a brand-new album! —one that follows up their breakout 2023 record, Blame My Ex. And what better way to usher in this next chapter than with a triumphant lead single? Enter “Last Girls at the Party”, a track that not only closes out the upcoming album but also cements itself as an anthem of defiant fun, independence, and refusing to call it a night.

If Blame My Ex was the sound of The Beaches embracing heartbreak with wit, confidence, and killer riffs, “Last Girls at the Party” feels like the celebratory aftermath. It’s the soundtrack of dancing through the chaos, shaking off the past, and making sure that, when the night ends, you’re still the ones standing. With its infectious hooks, pulsating energy, and instantly memorable lyrics, this song is destined to be a fan favorite

A Sound That Refuses to Quit

From the very first line—“I’m not gonna slow down”—“Last Girls at the Party” makes its mission clear. This isn’t a song about endings; it’s about pushing forward, squeezing every last moment out of the night, and refusing to be the first ones to leave. The production is pure Beaches: punchy, polished, and drenched in cool-girl attitude. A driving bassline carries the track forward while crisp, rhythmic guitars and anthemic drums create an irresistible momentum. The song builds with a steady intensity, layering vocal harmonies and call-and-response sections that beg to be screamed back in a packed venue.

The chorus—repeating the mantra “Gonna be the last girls at the party”—is both rebellious and celebratory, capturing that feeling of refusing to go home even when the lights are low and everyone else has called it a night. It’s the ultimate “one more song” anthem, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it becomes a massive live staple, drawing out the final moments of The Beaches’ future setlists.

Lyrically Unapologetic

The Beaches have always excelled at crafting lyrics that feel both effortlessly cool and deeply relatable, and “Last Girls at the Party” is no exception. The verses capture the reckless energy of a night out, from the desperation to stay in the moment (“I’ll never look as hard as I do now”) to the sheer thrill of ignoring reality (“It’s only one, right? It’s only two, right?”—a countdown (or count-up) that feels all too familiar). The refrain “No hard feelings, we’re not leaving” is almost defiant, as if the band is challenging anyone to try and stop them from having a good time.

One of the best parts of the song is its final breakdown, where the lyrics spiral into a playful blur of excuses to stay. “It’s only five, right? It’s only six, right?”—each line inching closer to sunrise, capturing that universal moment of pretending time doesn’t exist. It’s cheeky, confident, and endlessly fun, a perfect encapsulation of The Beaches’ ability to turn everyday moments into sharp, infectious songwriting.

Fresh off their Group of the Year Juno win, they’re showing no signs of slowing down.
