Hayley Kiyoko & Snow Wife Turn Up the Heat on “Red Bikini” from the “Girls Like Girls” movie Soundtrack
What a creative and inspiring journey it has been for Hayley Kiyoko since she first made a seismic impact in 2015 with the now-iconic anthem “Girls Like Girls“. More than just a breakout hit, the track became a cultural touchstone. A bold and empowering celebration of queer love, self-acceptance, and visibility that resonated deeply with fans around the globe.
Fast-forward to 2026, and Hayley’s beloved story is stepping onto an even bigger stage. “Girls Like Girls”, the forthcoming film from Focus Features, arrives in cinemas on June 19th and marks Hayley’s directorial debut. Based on both her hit single and New York Times bestselling novel, the film has been a decade-long labour of love for the multi-hyphenate artist. Set during one unforgettable sun-soaked summer, the coming-of-age story follows Coley, a new girl in town navigating first love and discovering the courage to fully embrace herself.
Naturally, a project this heartfelt deserves a soundtrack equally rich in emotion and identity. Hayley has assembled an impressive lineup of LGBTQ+ voices and allies. These include Young Miko, Tegan and Sara, Chelsea Cutler, Gigi Perez, Joy Oladokun, August Ponthier, and Snow Wife. Leading the charge is the newly released collaboration “Red Bikini” featuring Snow Wife.
Bursting with playful energy and carefree summertime chemistry, “Red Bikini” is an instant serotonin boost. It’s flirtatious, euphoric pop at its finest. ie, the kind of track tailor-made for golden-hour drives, beach parties, and sapphic summer playlists everywhere. The accompanying music video adds another layer of sweetness, too. Hayley and Snow Wife deliver a charming dance routine that gives fans a delightful taste of the film’s youthful spirit.
However, while “Girls Like Girls” may not unfold as a full-blown musical in the vein of “Mamma Mia!”, (as this choreographed video somewhat suggests). The soundtrack is already proving itself to be an essential extension of its emotional world. Above all, Hayley Kiyoko continues evolving as an artist, storyteller, and filmmaker, she reminds us that authentic representation never goes out of style.
