Cool Buzz follows Violets previously shared singles THUM, Applefish and 495 (pronounced five nighty five)—which was inspired by a vintage T-shirt with a sex phone line.

The 20-year-old rocker has also shared her plans to go on a US headline tour this year, which kicks off at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn on 4th June and will open for The Breeders in Baltimore and New York.

Violet is also set to hit the stage at a number of European festivals this summer, including Belgium’s Pukkelpop Festival, Ireland’s Electric Picnic and Reading & Leeds Festival 2026, where Fontaines D.C., Florence + The Machine, DAVE, Charli XCX and RAYE headline.

So far, her run of dates concludes with a performance at the CBGB festival in September, where she joins Morrissey, Patti Smith, Sex Pistols feat. Frank Carter and Interpol on the line-up.

Speaking about the track, she told Dan O’Connell: “It was inspired by a T-shirt that I have. It’s an old sex phone line ad and I got it on Etsy a while ago, and my dad actually opened up my package and saw the shirt and then hid it in his studio for a couple months. I scoured the house looking for the shirt because it said it was delivered and then I found it in a box in a studio.”

“We went into the studio and we had this kind of idea for like a heavy, like kind of desert, rocky, heavier kind of song and the shirt was just such a main focus that day,” she said of the track’s sound. “There were so many little lines on the shirt that were just so perfect and we were like, this is kind of incredible. We should write a song about this.”
