PILLOW QUEENS DEFY EXPECTATIONS WITH ‘BE A BIG GIRL’
Dublin’s Pillow Queens return with Be A Big Girl — a defiant new single confronting the pressure to shrink, whether as a woman, a musician, or simply someone living in Ireland. Released independently via Pillow Queen Records, the track reclaims strength without abandoning vulnerability.
Traditionally, “be a big girl” implies swallowing emotions and staying quiet. Pillow Queens flip the phrase: here, screaming, crying, fighting, and holding your ground are the true acts of resilience. The song inhabits the space between exhaustion and persistence, between being knocked down and refusing to disappear.
“It’s about staying where you are when told to leave, making a fuss, and taking up more space. In Ireland, making music without fleeing abroad is already an act of stubborn optimism. Sure, sometimes you’re crying in Lidl or dreaming of Australia — but you’re still standing. That’s our kind of ‘big girl.’”
