On April 3rd, the Screaming Females will release their fifth studio album, Ugly. The first single is the raw, upbeat "It All Means Nothing," and it will be released on Saturday, February 11th at the Don Giovanni Records Showcase in Brooklyn.

Though "It All Means Nothing" is not out yet, the Screaming Females have been playing it live for a while, and the song has quickly become a fan favorite. "As we played 'It All Means Nothing' live over the last year or so, people would regularly come up to us and say, 'That song has to be the first single from your next record,'" drummer Jarret Doughtery says. "We've never had anything like that happen. It was coming from friends, strangers and other bands. It made the choice for the first single easy."

Song Stories

“Push It”

Salt-N-Pepa | 1987

Originating as a B side to their cover of the Stax classic “Tramp,” Cheryl “Salt” James, Sandi “Pepa” Denton and Dee Dee “DJ Spinderella” Roper came up with the goods on this career-making, Grammy-nominated platinum single about working it on the dancefloor. “Push It” has been sampled and spliced to death since it debuted in 1987, yet the original track is as fresh and fly as when SNP — among the few original women of hip-hop — debuted it. “Most men will never believe ‘Push It’ was never about sex,” said James. “And that’s why the record went to Number One,” said Denton. “Everybody thought it was about sex.”
