London Grammar have shared a new single called ‘Fakest Bitch’ – you can listen to it below.
The stripped-back song marks the fourth preview of the trio’s fourth studio album ‘The Greatest Love’, which is due for release on September 13 via Ministry Of Sound (Pre-order/pre-save here).
In a statement about the tender acoustic track, frontwoman Hannah Reid explained: “‘Fakest Bitch’ is pretty self-explanatory to be honest. Everybody has had someone, at some point in their life, that’s made them feel that way but what I really like about it is that it’s kind of a bit shocking.”
She continued: “For me anyway, just how direct the negativity is but it is again about reflecting on those parts of yourself that are a bit ugly too and looking at yourself in the mirror and learning and growing from that.
“I wanted to again talk about something quite negative but the lyrics in the verse are quite poetic and beautiful.”
Tune in here:
‘Fakest Bitch’ arrives after London Grammar’s 2024 singles ‘Into Gold’, ‘Kind Of Man’ and ‘House’. They’ll all appear on the forthcoming ‘The Greatest Love’, which follows on from 2021’s ‘Californian Soil’.

Speaking to NME in April 2023, band member Dot Major teased that London Grammar were “definitely getting there” with their next full-length project. “We’re all really excited, because it’s been a little while – as it always is with us,” he explained.
Guitarist Dan Rothman told NME in July 2022 that the trio had “been working on” their fourth album throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
Similarly, London Grammar previously hinted in an interview with NME that their next LP could be their “best one yet”. At the time, frontwoman Reid said it would contain “a lot of deep, philosophical questions about life, relationships and love”.
