Reception
"New Song" was generally well received by critics, but noted for being different from Warpaint's past material.
NME described the single as "the poppiest thing [Warpaint has] ever done and probably the catchiest too".
[14] The
Los Angeles Times called the single a "striking departure" from the band's previous work, but stated the song had "easy-to-memorize lyrics and a happy earworm of a melody".
[15]
The Guardian called the song a "disco charmer".
[1] "New Song" was the band's first single to chart on the
Billboard
Alternative Songs and
Adult Alternative Songs charts, where it peaked at numbers 32 and 14 respectively.
