“Girlfriends is a song based on my experiences with men I am close to, and how their fear of speaking out about their difficult feelings has affected our relationships. It let my ex boyfriend and I down and it’s an issue that doesn’t discriminate; men of every age seem to, and often do, suffer from it's wrath. Male mental health is a huge problem and one that requires attention and time. Girlfriends is just a story that gives the issue a platform” For Gloucester-born Blossom Caldarone, the art of songwriting lies in its storytelling.
