THE PAINTING DROP UPBEAT POP ANTHEM “SCARLETT” – A FANGIRL LOVE STORY FOR THE ROMANTICS
INDEPENDENT
Scottish Pop Rock band The Painting return with “Scarlett”, a playful, upbeat new single out now. Fusing romantic chaos with soft synth textures and cinematic nostalgia, “Scarlett” is a modern love story with a fangirl twist.
With shimmering production and a chorus that sticks, “Scarlett” tells the story of falling fast for someone beautiful, complicated—and completely in love with pop culture. It’s lighthearted but emotional, perfectly capturing that dizzying first stage of connection.
“Scarlett is about the kind of person you meet who feels like a character from a movie,” The Painting explain. “She’s charming, unpredictable, and she’s got Harry Styles on repeat.”
Blending lush pop with personal lyricism, the Glasgow band channels the energy of artists like Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo and Harry Styles, while crafting a voice unmistakably their own through their own influences like the 1975, The War On Drugs and The Killers.
Accompanied by vintage-style artwork featuring golden-hour fields and bold, grainy typography, “Scarlett” continues The Painting’s dreamy, nostalgic aesthetic—where every song feels like a coming-of-age moment.
