Hot on the heels of an appearance at Latitude Festival and their first ever run of UK headline tour dates, Northern Irish trio Cherym continue their rapid ascent with a video for their new single, Gone Girl, which is out now via digital service providers. The track is the last single to be taken from Cherym‘s recently-released EP, Hey Tori, which is out now via Alcopop! Records. Alongside the new single, Cherym have announced that they will support Belfast rock band New Pagans on their forthcoming December 2021 Irish headline dates with tickets on sale now.

Gone Girl is a track with a serious and heartfelt message behind it, the track highlights the importance of trying to get help when involved in a domestically abusive relationship. There are resource links in the video description to The Rainbow Project, Women’s Aid and Men’s Alliance NI for anyone who finds this to be a difficult subject, and a trigger warning is advised for anyone who is, or has been, affected by domestic abuse.

We wrote this song about our own experiences in abusive relationships, whether that be emotionally or physically. Our aim is to normalise discussing the topic, so that no one ever has to feel alone. This is a subject which is very close to us personally and we hope that if there is anyone who has been—or is still—experiencing this, that you can find the strength to seek help if it’s safe to do so. Sometimes life getting better may seem like the furthest thing from reality, but it really does get better x” (bassist Nyree Porter)
