Meg Smith Wants the Spotlight in “Girls Just Wanna Be Famous”


Meg Smith’s latest single, “Girls Just Wanna Be Famous,” is ultimately an explosion of a pop song. Presenting itself as nothing less than an anthem for every diva who’s ever practiced their awards speech in the mirror, the track is catchy and ready to be chanted, while Meg is perfectly equipped to deliver it with all the pink hair dye, sequins, and platform boots you could ever ask for. 

“Girls Just Wanna Be Famous” is the type of single that makes everyone understand why Meg refers to herself as the “patron saint of pop music,” and we’re happy to confirm that she’s living up to the name. The track perfectly pulls off the over-the-top sparkly production that really just makes you want to dance badly around your teenage bedroom. 


While manifesting as a fun, unserious song for the dance floor, “Girls Just Wanna Be Famous” is clearly multifaceted, using verses to comment on fame and striving for that dream. Meg sings about the struggle and exhaustion of it all, something that will undoubtedly resonate with many. Regardless, it’s clear to us that Meg is exactly where she is meant to be, in the spotlight and blasting loudly in our headphones.
