"Gibson Girl" is a song by American singer-songwriter Ethel Cain. Composed and produced by Cain, it was released on March 17, 2022, as the lead single from her debut studio album, Preacher's Daughter (2022). A sexy and suspenseful song, it explores "fresh aspects of femme energy".[1]
"Gibson Girl" was included on the set list of The Freezer Bride Tour (2022) and the Blood Stained Blonde Tour (2023), her first and second concert tours as a headliner, respectively.[2]
Alongside the release of "Gibson Girl", on March 17, 2022, the singer announced her debut studio album, Preacher's Daughter, which was stated to release on May 12.[3] Lyrically, the song "deals with being under the microscope and how patriarchal systems can lead to issues of self-worth".[1]
In a press release about the song, Cain said:
The song was described by Flood Magazine as "sexy and suspenseful".[4] Cain's vocals in "Gibson Girl" were compared to those of alternative pop singer Banks, "but with a more sinister tone akin to Miguel".[4]
