‘Calling Your Name’ draws inspiration from co-frontwoman Belly’s own experience — an unforgettable night out in Kuala Lumpur that left more questions than answers and planted the seed for what’s now one of the band’s most personal and powerful songs yet.

“It was my first time at Zouk,” Belly shares, referring to KL’s infamous superclub, “My heart wasn’t broken—that was Lorna in Crying in Marseille—but I was surprised by a young six-foot-tall man. I thought we hit it off. One minute we were dancing, and the next, he was gone. When I was leaving, I saw him kissing a man. I called his name, but he couldn’t—or wouldn’t—hear me. That was the last time I saw him.”

Having moved from a conservative upbringing in the peaceful coastal town of Kota Kinabalu to study at Taylor’s University, Belly found herself immersed in a world of late nights, neon lights, and emotional curveballs. ‘Calling Your Name’ captures that jolt of reality—when surface-level charm gives way to something more profound, complicated, and harder to process.

Musically, the track is vintage glitter laced with modern grit—a sparkling lovechild of Blondie and ABBA with a punk-pop bite reminiscent of The Gossip and the flamboyant honesty of Lady Gaga. The result is a dancefloor-ready confession: raw, reflective, and totally irresistible. “It just goes to show that it’s an ever-changing world,” Belly says, “What appears to be one thing on the surface doesn’t show you the whole truth. ‘Calling Your Name’ is for those who want to keep an open mind… and maybe get a snog off the right guy.”

The track, penned in a haze of heartbreak and French red wine, takes listeners through the chaos of love on the road. While playing Fete de La Music in Aix-en-Provence, vocalist Lorna got dumped mid-tour by a jealous local lad who didn’t quite get why she preferred rocking festival stages to nights at the local pub. With her bandmates Belly and Lewis by her side, the duo turned a night of emotional chaos into musical magic, crafting a song that’s equal parts empowerment and escapism.

“Sometimes, the best way to deal with heartbreak is to dance through it,” Lorna quips, “And if that fails, there’s always wine!”

With gritty Glasgow roots and soaring alt-pop hooks, ‘Crying in Marseille’ is quintessential Pistol Daisys: a blend of bold vocals, blistering guitar riffs, and a fresh edge that nods to icons like Blondie and Kate Bush.
