“i just do” by girlpuppy
girlpuppy AKA: Becca Harvey, will release her new LP, Sweetness, on March 28, 2025 on Captured Tracks. Ahead of the album’s arrival, girlpuppy has shared The song is is a raw and deeply personal exploration of the emotions that follow a breakup, touching on themes of grief, transformation, and growth. Written in the wake of a four-year relationship. The announcement of Sweetness comes with the confirmation of Record Release Shows in Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles.
The new single is paired with a video directed by Trent Wayne (MJ Lenderman, Sinai Vessel) who also directed the video for previous single “Windows.” The video for “I Just Do!” stars Becca Harvey as a vampire protagonist at a house party, where she discovers and uncovers an Ex, an incognito vampire slayer and would-be saboteur.
Becca Harvey shares the following about the song: “I wrote this song after spending 6 days in Los Angeles with a guy I had an all consuming crush on. It’s just about that feeling of knowing you’re wasting your time by developing feelings for someone who is completely emotionally unavailable, but you do it anyway because it feels good. I wrote this entire song and then recorded a voice note of me singing it acapella in my bathtub (where I get lots of inspiration for songs). I brought it to Alex [Farrar] and he built the instruments around the melody I wrote and it turned out so much fun. This is definitely gonna be my favorite song to play on tour.”
Regarding the video, Harvey adds: “I had the idea for the vampire/vampire hunter love interest plot and when I told Trent about it he knew he could make it happen. He ended up adding in the detail that the vampire hunter is my ex and his new girlfriend (his girlfriend irl!) is at this party we both are attending. We filmed the video at our friend Kay’s house (which was already decorated perfectly) and had so much fun with all of our friends. Becoming a vampire for this video fulfilled my dream of being a Cullen.”
Director Trent Wayne also shares: “Becca and I created this vampire-themed video as a playful ode to forbidden love, with a healthy dose of camp. Drawing inspiration from the late David Lynch, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, and the charm of Johnnie To’s early 2000s Hong Kong rom-coms. In the story, a vampire hunter hunk crashes a rainbow-hued house party, where a vampire finds herself drawn to him. Becca, playing the vampire, knows she can never truly be with the hunter, who is destined to hurt her. Yet their chemistry creates a bittersweet tension – this storyline doubles as her seeing an ex at a party.”
