Internet Girl

"Internet Girl" is a dance-pop and hyperpop single by the international girl group Katseye, released on January 2, 2026, through HYBE and Geffen Records. The song runs 2 minutes and 43 seconds and was written and produced by a team including Leland, SAYMYNAME, Tyler Spry, Peter Fenn, and group members Lara Rajagopalan and Sophia Laforteza. Its lyrics explore online obsession and the blur between virtual and real relationships, set to a fast, synth-heavy beat with glitchy vocal effects.

The track debuted at number 67 on the Billboard Global 200 and peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart. On the Bubbling Under Hot 100, it reached number 3, and it hit number 24 on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart. The official music video, directed by Charlotte Rutherford, was released the same day and had accumulated 14.2 million views by July 2026.

Critical reception was generally favorable. Pitchfork called it "a hyperpop sugar rush that perfectly captures the dopamine-hit of online validation," while NME gave it 4 out of 5 stars, praising its confident genre-blending. The song became a viral TikTok phenomenon with over 450 million views under the hashtag #InternetGirlKatseye, and notable covers were released by Dixie D'Amelio, NewJeans, and Pentatonix. It was nominated for Song of the Summer at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.[edit]
