Blossoms' Tom Ogden Breaks Down 'Your Girlfriend' | Behind the Lyrics | Radio X

Blossoms have made a name for themselves writing synth lead indie-pop bangers. Just pop on I Can't Stand It, There's A Reason Why (I Never Returned Your Calls), or Charlemagne, and you'll instantly hear indie-disco floorfillers, tracks that sound like they've always been part of the British rock canon. But new song Your Girlfriend may be the one that tops them all. It's a tune that sums up the Stockport band; funny, summery, and catchier than anything else on the radio.
Here, lead singer Tom Ogden explains the inspiration behind the tune, and vehemently tells us it's NOT about him.

He's never been out of his comfort zone, every Blossoms song is the same

[@lucyellenroe6029]

Don't like it, don't listen to it

[@reganpiper8742]

So in translation he listened to Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield and decided to copy its premise

[@tomjones5301]

Regan Piper i mean the concept goes further back than that, like Elvis’s version of a song from the late 50s: The Girl of My Best Friend

[@aligaterman275]

Exactly what I was gonna say
