Listen: Eli’s Latest Single “Like A Girl” Is Here
Pop’s newest and most underrated scene-stealer is back with her recent single, Like A Girl. Eli, the next “Stage Girl” as she calls it, has fought for a spot in the mainstream for years now, but 2025 is the year she is finally receiving her flowers. Girl of Your Dreams has garnered strong endorsements from top artists, including Troye Sivan, Doechii, Meghan Trainor, and Addison Rae, on TikTok. It is now time for the long-anticipated fan-favorite, Like A Girl, to receive the same love. Eli deserves all the bouquets for being an authentic voice in the pop scene.
Eli Is Defining Her Own Femininity
What defines a woman as a girl or a boy as a man? Eli’s debut album, Stage Girl, boldly tackles these questions and more. It powerfully reflects her journey, showcasing the woman she is and the fierce persona she aims to embody through her music, performances, and her relentless pursuit of fame. Like A Girl (worked on with Mike Wise and Aver Ray) maintains that theme, bringing it into an intimate, sensual setting that truly immerses the listener in the same empowering mood.
“…I have a lovely ‘Live, Laugh, Love’ mom who has ‘Be Yourself’ hung up all over the house. But I did not fully grasp what that meant until this past year. I realized how much I was running from as a queer person. After moving here [to LA] … I had the space to figure myself out. Now, everything has hit me artistically in all the right places.”
Eli said in an interview with i-D.
What Comes After This?
While the rollout of Eli’s debut album has included various teasers on social media, the album is expected to be released this autumn. This suggests that Like A Girl will likely serve as the official lead single. This is supported by the singer’s livestreams on TikTok, where she debated which single would be the last before the album’s upcoming release. While this is speculative and subject to change, it offers fans insight into what to expect soon and clarifies the single’s intended purpose.
This new single offers a fresh take on pop music that true fans of the genre won’t want to miss. It would almost be a shame to pass up the opportunity to get in early on the rise of an artist destined for greater success in the future. Her determination to succeed and establish her name, no matter the obstacles, truly shines through in this release. The smooth, syrupy vocals, the cohesive, nostalgic production, and clever writing, which she is becoming well-known for, truly shine in this track specifically, indicating a promising outlook for the forthcoming album.
Like A Girl by Eli is out now. Give it a listen!
