she was the girl in red Lyrics
I met her, at a party
She was the girl in red
I saw her from a distance
She was playing with her hair
We went outside
Smoked our cigarettes
I couldn't take my eyes off her red turtleneck
[Chorus]
She was the girl in red
She was the girl in red
[Verse 2]
We kissed on a stranger's bed
In the dark holding hands
She wouldn't tell me her name
So I just kept asking over again
"Tell me your name"
[Chorus]
She was the girl in red
She was the girl in red

She sings about being fascinated by a girl at a party, they fooled around a bit, but she didn’t disclose her name. Because that girl was wearing red, that became her nickname. Later, Marie began to use it as her alias too.
In an interview, girl in red states that this song is actually loosely based on true events. Talking to Wonderland Magazine, she explains that she was going to a concert with her best friend. At that time, she was in love with her best friend, but they couldn’t find each other in the crowd:
It was literally like in a movie where the crowd opens up and you just see that person, and she was wearing a red sweater. I texted her ‘girl in red’, and it sparked the idea.
