Girls Night - Dot. | Official Music Video

A song about my friends :)

The video for 'Girls Night' represents a safe place for its characters. Dot. and her friends Shibangi and Aksha find warmth in a house that allows them to leave their hectic jobs. It is a space where they can let go and be themselves.

Be it blasting music, making late night snacks or endlessly talking about everything from boys to maddening social constructs, it is clear that they are comfortable in their own skin.

Lyrics:
Meetin’ up in my apartment
The three of us got a lot to discuss so
Grab a pen and piece of parchment
Give me the details of your
Life and I’ll give mine
Pour out the Samara wine
And tell me all about it tell me all about it
(Let’s have a girl’s night)

Can you count on your fingers
Or darling will you need the help of toes?
Is it all pretty private
Or is it something everybody knows?

Hush, hush, little baby Yash
I’m gonna take care of both of us if you don’t mind
(I don’t mind)
Shush, shush, mighty Mr. Kush
If you don’t like it then I won’t push and we can just rewind
(Just take your time)

Passin’ round the teacup ashtray
Pull up a quilt and gimme the filth oh
Tell it like you wrote the screenplay
We’ve got nowhere to be but
Here, so just sit tight
We’re havin’ us a girly night
And talkin’ all about it, talkin’ all about it
(Let’s have a girls night)

Can you count on your fingers
Or darlin’ will you need the help of your toes?
Will a couple of words do
Or does it deserve an endless stream of prose?

Move, move, needy baby Dhruv
I need the space cause I've got to groove alone tonight
(I don't mind)
Shiv, shiv, something's gotta give
I'm on the edge here and I can't live for maybes and mights

Is it complicated and confusing?
Is it overwhelming and hard?
You've been thinking over and over thinking all right
(Give it up, give it up, give it up)
You just need a girls night

Hush, hush, little baby Yash
I’m gonna take care of both of us if you don’t mind
(I don’t mind)
Shush, shush, mighty Mr. Kush
If you don’t like it then I won’t push and we can just rewind
(Just take your time)

Is it complicated and confusing?
Is it overwhelming and hard?
You've been thinking over and over thinking all right
You just need a girls night

[huzefasamplewala]

Amazing Video very original. Lovely composition. Amazing lyrics. Dot love your voice. Hawwa super direction.

[gayathrirajesh]

Incredible song and video <3 the impromptu cutting of bangs hit close to home. Hawwa was one of my classmates in grade 3, the beginning of girlhood. Dot's been my company through undergrad. This has to be the best crossover of my life.

[sakhi]

Congratulations👏👏👏, beautiful song, lovely lyrics and flawless singing . Bless you all.

[SamarthSaxenaMusic]

[shahbazmansahia]

Love your video and music Aditi! been listening to this on spotify for a month or so now!!! am going to try and send some stuff to the whole Archies squad too because I absolutely loved y'all's performances in the movie!!!! (I really don't like musicals but Archies is different!!! And I'm so happy to see you in it since you just fit so well in

[TheRealMevi]

You've captured every "girlhood" experience within 3 minutes and 50 seconds. This was absolutely amazing!

[Lazy__aLeaf]

The music video was EVERYTHING!! the sets? the song itself?? the vibes???? 🤌
it was so cute seeing the three girls as aunties and how they were still as close as ever :)

i would totally play this on a girl's night of my own :>

[SinfulRainbow]

Beautiful music as always Dot! And an amazingly creative video. I loved the little moment where you showed the friends as old ladies, and as kids and then as they are now.
I loved the sumo moment when you and your friend realise the third friend isn't videoing as thought.
You looked like you had so much fun doing this video.

[slashg]

Been following your music for over four years now! Love this one as well! Hope this goes viral <3

[AmatullahFatehi]

Hawwa Samples ♥️ omg you’re such a vibe 💃🏻 can and will watch this on loop, every frame has so much detailing and the camera movement is as butter 📹 just go viral already girl ✈️🌎

[Jumanahuz]

Super super direction hawwa and team amazing song dot loved the video so so smooth congratulations 🎉

[justsaying]

What a soft voice. Away from the trend of shouting your lungs out explcitive lyrics. Glad Dot is producing quality and not oriented to mass market.

[minalepps]

Loved the video....sure to be a superhit!....Congrats Dot and team🎉

[protyay]

This is EXCELLENT! Also aye lil 'Spiced Lemonade' throwback in there! :D

[angadsri]

Outstanding! Such a great song and an absolutely incredible video ✨

[brightendash]

Hi Aditi, I want to applaud you & the teams effort for a superbly done video that brings this song's theme to life. The camaraderie between the protagonists portrayed in the video here indicates that the actors could be friends in real life. As a musician, I sure hope to collaborate with you on a song even though I operate in a very different genre. I discovered you as an Artist through Spicey Lemonade. Since then I have gone on to visit your albums Practice Room & Khamotion. What struck me is the effortlessness in your voice & piano playing. Also the compositions. You have the voice that most naturally fits in Jazz, RnB, Pop & Soul sensibilities. Keep up the great work & looking forward to your next song !
