Lolita Mae’s “Girl From Mars” is a manifesto for anyone who has ever felt othered, misunderstood, or constrained by societal norms

In a moment where pop music is often defined by chasing trends, Sydney-based artist and producer Lolita Mae is doing something remarkably different – she is chasing the unknown. Her new single, Girl From Mars, is a bold, genre-bending leap into a world that feels eerily extraterrestrial yet profoundly human.

The track is a magnetic blend of electro-pop, dark house, and experimental trap, marked not only Lolita’s first major move of 2025 but a deeper personal and creative evolution. Self-produced and mixed by PAX, Girl From Mars sounds like it was beamed from another galaxy—a testament to the internal journey Mae has undertaken to carve out her own sonic identity.

“I started to feel like there was no mold I could fit into,” Lolita tells Eat This Music in our recent interview with her. “Especially since I was pulling inspiration from styles that were more true to me. That year was a deep emotional excavation—facing rejection, insecurity, perfectionism. It was marking a stage of transformation and action despite fear.”

Fear, as it turns out, is central to the story of Girl From Mars. Not the kind that paralyses, but the kind that pushes artists to shed old skins and make something raw and transcendent.

Lolita further describes Girl From Mars as a message from a dimension where she is “not alone.” Her ethereal, commanding vocals glide over dense, eerie production, creating an atmosphere that feels simultaneously intimate and vast. On the track, Lolita utters the lyric, “Their blood is red while mine is blue…” – a line that didn’t just find its way into the song, but sparked the entire creative process.

“It’s definitely one of my favourite lines I’ve ever written – and funnily enough, Girl From Mars actually started with that lyric,” Lolita continues. “Since I was young, I’ve always felt different from everyone around me. That lyric really speaks to those moments when I was judged or ridiculed for my individuality.”

Lolita is candid about the spiritual nature of her work. She sees her creativity as a kind of collaboration with something bigger – forces that she can feel but not fully explain. “I’ve always felt that certain lyrics and song ideas don’t fully come from me – they feel like they’re being communicated through me,” Lolita expresses in our interview. “Especially when I’m in that deeply receptive state while writing.”

That spiritual openness is baked into the soundscape of Girl From Mars, as Lolita meticulously crafts the track’s atmosphere herself, often spending hours pushing the limits of her creative tools, “I really wanted to place every effect and spatial element with intention—to make the atmosphere come to life exactly how I hear it in my head,” she explains. “Translating the weird, otherworldly sounds in my mind into reality has honestly crashed my Logic session more times than I can count.”

One of the track’s most chilling moments comes from her experimental use of sound. Lolita layered reversed, eerie screams and manipulated scraping metal noises, creating textures that feel more like glimpses into another reality than traditional music production. “That’s when it really started giving me chills. Literally reminded me of horror films,” she laughs.

Helping bring her vision to full realisation was PAX, whose mixing and mastering elevated the track’s intricate production. “He really brings the right elements to life that make the soundscape complete,” Lolita adds, noting that even her breathy, layered vocals – a challenge to mix cleanly – were handled with finesse.

Lolita’s Girl From Mars is a musical experiment; it’s a manifesto for anyone who has ever felt othered, misunderstood, or constrained by societal norms. Lolita expresses further: “After being born through fire, it’s a realisation of the power of unique individuality. There is so much beauty and realness in the darkness that no one bothers to pay attention to.”

As for what comes next, Lolita hints that Girl From Mars is just the beginning. A new single, Apollo 11, is already on the horizon – it’s an expansion of the sonic universe she has begun to build, this time with a “very special person” close to her heart. In a world obsessed with fitting in, Lolita is offering something much more valuable: permission to stand out, to dive deep, and to let the music from distant worlds find a home here on Earth.

“Sometimes these feelings and thoughts don’t even feel like they’re mine,” Lolita says thoughtfully. “But it feels strong and necessary to let them speak through my lyrics when the moment is right.”
