Remi Wolf has released "Twiggy," her first new song in two years since 2024's Big Ideas, DIY reports. She gave the track its live debut at Newport Folk Festival, joining Hayley Williams onstage during the Paramore frontwoman's set for a surprise interlude.

"Twiggy" finds Wolf trading her usual tongue-in-cheek humor for something more openly emotional, singing about heartache with lines like "fighting with your exes, you just miss me, I just miss you, we just missed our exit." Of the song's origin, she said: "I wrote Twiggy about people I've been with that lack both butts and emotional availability."

The single marks a deliberate shift in tone from her debut, which DIY describes as introducing the California singer in a blaze of "eye-popping, sweary, technicolour glory," and from 2024's Big Ideas, where she refined her methods while keeping her sound unmistakably her own.

Sharing the stage with Williams at Newport gave the release an unusually high-profile launch for a comeback single, tying Wolf's return to one of the festival's marquee sets rather than a quieter rollout.

"Twiggy" is filed under pop and indie, and joins the rest of the year's new releases in the release calendar.
