This follows a teaser from Alice Glass who previewed a cover of Aqua’s "Barbie Girl", which was also recorded for the film.

This will be the former Crystal Castles frontwoman's first release since 2022's "LIPS APART", and "Chastity", on which she collaborated with Pussy Riot and Boys Noize. The reimagined track appears to be a collaboration with Adore, and will be released to coincide with the release of the Barbie film.
