Christine and the Queens put out "Girlfriend" in May 2018 on the same day as its French-language twin, "Damn, dis-moi", both ahead of the album Chris. It's a strutting funk workout made with American funk musician Dâm-Funk, who co-wrote the music, sings on it and plays keytar, while David Frank's keyboards, James Manning's bass and Marlon McClain's guitar keep the groove slick and old-school.
The singer wrote the lyrics and produced the track, with Cole M.G.N. producing the lead vocal, and the chords rest on a loop that comes free with Apple's GarageBand software. Not bad for a stock loop: the song made the French top 10, and Time named it the best song of 2018.
