The rock icons SCANDAL have dropped the music video for their newest single “Girl is Ghost,” marking their first fresh release since earlier in 2025. The track shakes up expectations with funk-rock-infused guitar work layered over a four-on-the-floor beat, subtly peppered with Japanese melodic sensibilities that give the song a distinct flavor in their catalog. Girl is Ghost feels like both a return and a reinvention — reflective of the band’s long evolution while pushing their sound into slightly grittier, dance-friendly territory.
The accompanying MV carries that duality visually, balancing performance energy with an almost spectral vibe that suits the title’s playful yet eerie tone. It’s another chapter in SCANDAL’s decades-long journey from garage beginnings to seasoned rock storytellers.
