Reception

"New Song" was generally well received by critics, but noted for being different from Warpaint's past material. NME described the single as "the poppiest thing [Warpaint has] ever done and probably the catchiest too".[9] The Los Angeles Times called the single a "striking departure" from the band's previous work, but stated the song had "easy-to-memorize lyrics and a happy earworm of a melody".[10] The Guardian called the song a "disco charmer".[11]

The band performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[12][13]

Video

On December 9, 2016, Warpaint released a video for "New Song" on YouTube.[14][15]
