5. Dom Dolla – Girl$
If you saw the Australian superstar at Red Rocks, EDC, or Coachella this year, you would have witnessed the crowd go wild when he performed ‘girl$’. The streams before the official release went viral. The inspiration for ‘girl$’ came from a conversation Dom had with friends who were all tired of bad dates and had decided to give up on dating. Dom wrote the lyrics based on a story a friend told him about a memorable night out. This is Dom’s only release of 2024, and it’s a powerful one. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
