Few indie rock singles capture the bittersweet pang of unrequited love quite like She’s Going Out With David, the latest release from Andy Jans-Brown and Cameron Spike-Porter’s album Falling. This track, drenched in the nostalgic vibes of New Wave influences, channels the energy of iconic anthems like Rick Springfield’s Jesse’s Girl and Joe Jackson’s Is She Really Going Out With Him?—but with a modern twist that feels both fresh and haunting.

Falling, the album from which this single springs, has been described as a sonic exploration of the many facets of falling—whether it’s into love, out of grace, or into the unavoidable mistakes that mark our human experience. Jans-Brown and Spike-Porter navigate this thematic terrain with an expert hand, blending tragedy and comedy in a sound that’s emotionally raw yet aurally compelling.
You know the feeling: you’ve confessed your deepest feelings to a friend, only to hear those dreaded words—“I love you... but only as a friend.” This is the essence of She’s Going Out With David. It’s a song that captures the aching irony of watching someone you care about throw themselves into yet another doomed romance, all set to a pulse-pounding rock beat.
