Amanda Bynes Returns to Music with EDM-Inspired Single “Girlfriend”.
Amanda Bynes is officially stepping back into the music scene. The former actress, now 40, has released her first new track in four years — an upbeat, EDM‑influenced single titled “Girlfriend”, created in collaboration with producer Zabba and rapper Fenix Flexin. The song dropped on Friday, April 10, and is now available on Spotify and Apple Music.
A Dance-Driven Comeback
“Girlfriend” blends an energetic dance beat with Auto‑Tune‑enhanced vocals as Bynes sings about infatuation and new romance. Signed under Create Music Group, she delivers a catchy hook with the lines: “My friends love hearing about you / I love everything you do / I wanna be your girlfriend.”
The single’s cover art features a snowy landscape beneath a pink sky, with frost‑covered trees — a dreamy, atmospheric contrast to the track’s club‑ready sound.
Bynes told PEOPLE that her creative direction was shaped by “a lot of EDM, as well as rap,” reflecting the song’s hybrid style.

Reconnecting with Fans

With “Girlfriend,” Bynes signals a renewed focus on music — and fans are already eager to see where this new chapter leads.
