Looking for the Girl

With “Looking for the Girl,” Valerie Melina releases a vibrant and emotionally resonant pop single that balances brightness, movement and vulnerability. Built around a memorable hook, organic instrumentation and expressive vocals, the song explores the feeling of searching for a lost version of yourself, the person you once were before distance, self-doubt and outside pressure began to shape your identity. The result is a track that feels both immediate and reflective, pairing singalong energy with emotional honesty.

Based in Umeå, Sweden, Valerie Melina has steadily built a voice within alternative pop through diary-like songwriting, strong melodic instincts and a self-driven creative identity. After her debut EP Red Lines in 2023 and her first full-length album You Never Even Knew That You Missed Me in 2025, she now enters a new chapter with Rexius Records. “Looking for the Girl” is the first release in a planned run of singles leading toward a larger release, and it introduces this next phase with clarity, warmth and confidence.
