Punk trio Big Joanie are back with their new single "Happier Still", which marks their first new material since 2018.

"Happier Still" marks Big Joanie's first new single since their 2018 debut album Sistahs, although they did release a cover of Solange's "Cranes in the Sky" and Charmpit's "Bad Attitude" in 2020.

Singer and guitarist Stephanie Phillips said of the new song, "I started writing "Happier Still" after our first album came out in late 2018 and finished writing it while we were in Austin for SXSW 2019. This song is about wanting to break out of a depression and pushing yourself to feel better. I like the idea of chanting “I’ll feel fine” and then hoping that will eventually turn things around."

The new single arrives ahead of Big Joanie's show at Grace Jones' Meltdown Festival on 15 June. They'll also play Glastonbury Festival on 26 June.

Big Joanie's "Happier Still" single is out now on Daydream Library Series.
