The seductive track is packed with dark synths and an unforgettable beat and is accompanied by a music video (directed by Charlie Dennis) that is equally provocative and powerful in its feminism. This is the first proper self-release from BANKS in two years and is setting the tone for new music to come.
BANKS says, “This song was born from a story I told in the studio. A partner’s ex-girlfriend sent an ‘I miss u’ text with a very suggestive photo of herself attached while I was with him. She knew we were together and had been for a while. We were all cracking up at the absurdity and what started off as us messing around, turned into the anthem of ‘I Hate Your Ex-Girlfriend.’”
Charlie Denis says about the video, “My intention with this video was to make an equally as thrilling visual to accompany the song. It was within my interest to approach the video like a fashion editorial, with bizarre and big fashion moments that don’t necessarily make sense but help to contextualize and build on this uncanny and erotic world that the storyline between Banks and Doechii exists in.”

In addition to the new single, BANKS recently announced that she will be dropping an acoustic version of her debut album “Goddess” entitled “Goddess Unplugged” on November 15th in honor of the iconic album’s 10-year anniversary. She also announced underplay shows in London, New York, and Los Angeles where she will be playing “Goddess Unplugged” at the original venues she played in each of these cities upon the release of Goddess 10 years ago.
Due to incredible demand, additional performances were added in both New York and Los Angeles. Now, the London, Los Angeles, and New York dates are all sold-out. This week, BANKS announced another show at Northcote Theatre in Melbourne, Australia on November 27th. Buy tickets from Ticketmaster.com to see BANKS perform LIVE.

BANKS crafts moody, alternative pop with shades of contemporary R&B. Emerging in the early 2010s with a handful of downtempo, alt-R&B tracks, BANKS created a signature sound that helped build a cross-genre audience. Her critically acclaimed and gold-certified debut album, “Goddess,” featured songs like “Before I Ever Met You,” “Warm Water,” and “Fall Over,” as well as collaborations with producers Justin Parker, Shlomo, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.
The album peaked just outside the Top Ten on the Billboard 200. In 2016, BANKS released her highly anticipated sophomore album, “The Altar,” which featured singles “F*ck with Myself,” “Gemini Feeed,” and “Mind Games,” and peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200.
BANKS returned in July 2019 with her third studio album, “III,” which featured her synth-heavy single “Gimme.” Additional contributors included Francis and the Lights on “Look What You’re Doing To Me” and producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Rihanna) on “Hawaiian Mazes.”
BANKS released a short EP entitled “Live and Stripped” in 2020, followed by her 2022 album “Serpentina,” which BANKS recorded amid the pandemic during months of isolation and is tied to themes of shedding old skin and embracing the new.
BANKS’ artistry stands out through the rawness and vulnerability that shines earnestly through her music. With so much success under her belt already, BANKS is looking forward to an exciting future ahead.
