Amanda Bynes, our favorite former Nickelodeon star, is making waves again with her much-anticipated return to the music scene. After quite a hiatus, the 40-year-old is ready to release her new track, "Girlfriend," on streaming platforms this Friday, October 26th. Drawing inspiration from the electrifying worlds of EDM and rap, Bynes is excited to show fans a new side of her artistry.
“My inspiration was a lot of EDM, as well as rap,” Bynes shared with E! News, offering a sneak peek into her musical journey.
Teaming up with rapper Fenix Flexin and signing with the Create Music Group label – known for working with big names like Jason Derulo and Deadmau5 – Amanda is setting the stage for a fresh sound. The label describes "Girlfriend" as a track that blends melodic rap with EDM-inspired beats, creating a catchy vibe that's perfect for playlists everywhere.
This new single isn’t Amanda’s first dabble in music. Back in February, she dropped hints about her collaboration with Fenix, calling it “straight fire.” With "Girlfriend," they aim to capture that familiar L.A. sound while keeping it accessible and innovative.
Amanda has been exploring various creative outlets over the years, including art shows and even a clothing pop-up in 2024. She also joined OnlyFans as a platform to connect with her followers, ensuring her fans that it’s all about genuine interaction without any “sleazy content.”
Amanda’s journey hasn’t been without its challenges. After stepping away from the limelight over a decade ago to address personal struggles, including issues with the ADHD medication Adderall, she’s been open about her transformation. Last year, she shared her weight loss journey, proudly announcing she had shed 28 pounds with the help of Ozempic.
Her candid post on Instagram Stories revealed how inspired she feels by her progress, shedding light on her ongoing commitment to personal health and growth. With "Girlfriend," Amanda Bynes is not just making a musical comeback – she’s stepping into the spotlight with renewed confidence and energy.
