O novo single "My Friend Has a Boyfriend and I Hate That Jerk" foi gravado ao vivo em abril, durante o caótico ensaio em que o trio tocou a canção pela primeira vez. O áudio capturado por um celular Nokia Lanterninha® virou hit nos grupos de whatsapp, despertando o interesse dos executivos da Pug Recs, que, com o intuito de lucrar alguns centavos nas plataformas de streaming, enviou o arquivo para masterização em São Gonçalo e agendou o lançamento para o dia 05 de junho.

Inicialmente inspirada por uma sequência de acorde do Halo Benders, "My Friend Has a Boyfriend..." remete às tosqueiras do Frumpies e aos momentos mais anárquicos do Bikini Kill. Devido à precariedade da gravação, o som da guitarra praticamente desapareceu – um incidente técnico que reforça a conexão do trio com Kleenex, ESG, Oh-Ok e outras bandas femininas que nos anos 80 questionaram o protagonismo do instrumento.

Olympia Tennis Club é Eliza Möller (guitarra e voz), Camila Soares (baixo) e Carime Elmor (bateria).

lyrics

You say
Everyone fails
Poor little boy
I'm not your mom

You need such a special care
You are so depressed
You can't hold your own actions
You need to be cared like a baby
