""It's really just a dumb song, isn't it?" Jansson said about the track in a press release. "A dumb guitar riff, dumb lyrics and a dumb beat, and we love it just the way it is. I have no idea where the inspiration behind the lyrics came from, I have no relationship to switchboard operators and they haven't been around since before I was born. But wouldn't it be fun if they were still around and they sounded really hot over the phone?""
""Girl Scout, one of our emerging artists to watch in 2026, have revealed their new song \"Operator.\" Serving as the second single off their upcoming debut album Brink, \"Operator\" is a fuzzier, spunkier turn than prior single \"Same Kids.\" Vocalist Emma Jansson provides plenty of urgency and irreverence as she dreams about a handsome operator on the other line, chiming in with \"beep beep\"s and flying through the chorus in a passionate, descending whine. All the while, the band bring energy and playfulness to their lively indie rock sound.""
Girl Scout released the new single "Operator," the second single from their upcoming debut LP Brink. The track is fuzzier and spunkier than prior single "Same Kids," featuring urgent, irreverent vocals by Emma Jansson who imagines a handsome operator and punctuates the chorus with "beep beep"s and a descending whine. The band delivers energy and playfulness within a lively indie rock sound. Jansson described the song as intentionally dumb — a dumb guitar riff, dumb lyrics and a dumb beat — and embraced its simplicity. Brink is due March 20, 2026, and is among the most anticipated albums of 2026. Previous cut "I Just Needed You to Know" was named one of the best songs of 2024.
