"Internet Girl" is a single by girl group Katseye. It was released on January 2, 2026, and was produced by Mattman & Robin, Justin Tranter and Shawn Wasabi. Considered a follow up in musical direction to their 2025 single "Gnarly", it was met with a negative reception from both fans and critics alike.

Background

Katseye teased the song in November 2025 during the Beautiful Chaos Tour. [1]

Composition

Produced by Mattman & Robin, Justin Tranter and Shawn Wasabi, [1] "Internet Girl" has been described as a "raucous, rubbery dance-pop tune reminiscent of early Charli XCX". [2] The lyrics deal with the pros and cons of being in the public eye, including the thrill of receiving attention [3] and the pressures of being sexualized, compared, judged, and hated on by people online. [1] The chorus features the lyrics "Eat zucchini, eat zucchini", in reference to the eggplant emoji. [2] [3]

Reception

"Internet Girl" was not well received. Pyo Kyung-min of The Korea Times described it as a "calculated" attempt to chase controversy. Pyo contrasts the release of the song with the release of the group’s 2025 single "Gnarly", which was also experimental but is now considered an "artistic gamble." [4]
