She & Him have premiered the video for their newest song, “I Could’ve Been Your Girl,” on HelloGiggles today.
The video marks the first time the band’s singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel has stepped behind the camera to direct; the result is an amalgamation of everything that makes She & Him so damn charming—an incredible chorus, choreography by Sophie Olson, vintage dresses, M. Ward’s genius guitar playing, and a whole lot of fun.
Watch the video for “I Could’ve Been Your Girl” now at HelloGiggles.com
Says Deschanel about directing, “After 7 years and 4 albums with She & Him, I figured it was about time I took a crack at making a video for a song I wrote. The process was so much fun, and gave me a chance to give a nod to some of my favorite 60’s musicals.”
“I Could’ve Been Your Girl” is one of the highlights on the band’s new album, Volume 3, which is in stores now. In Volume 3, they’ve created an effortlessly effervescent, bleached-out-in-the-sun pop record, featuring some of the most dynamic, complex songs Deschanel has ever written. The album allows for tempo shifts, disco grooves, string arrangements on multiple tracks, and horn flourishes that perfectly suit the She & Him sound.
She & Him’s Volume 3 is available on CD, LP, and now cassette in the Merge store, the band’s online store, and at your local record store. If you buy Volume 3 in the Merge store, you get an awesome nail decal set (photo below) for free! Just enter “NAILS” into the coupon code.

She & Him have shared a new song from their forthcoming album Volume 3. Written by Zooey with string arrangements by M. Ward, “I Could’ve Been Your Girl” is 60’s pop perfection, and one of the album’s most impressive tracks.
In their premiere, the Wall Street Journal’s Speakeasy blog wrote, “Deschanel lets her voice ring over a rich blend of strings and guitars before Ward takes over with a trebly guitar break during the bridge.”
Listen & share “I Could’ve Been Your Girl” now via SoundCloud
Volume 3 is another exciting chapter in singer-songwriter Zooey Deschanel and guitarist/producer M. Ward’s unique collaboration. Of course, She & Him is not just about the time that Deschanel and Ward manage to spend in a studio together; theirs is a remarkable, year-round dialogue that began serendipitously on a film project in 2007 and has flourished ever since. Deschanel and Ward are like 21st century pen pals, emailing music files back and forth from whatever recording studio, sound stage or dressing room they happen to be in. We get to periodically share in this exuberant exchange as they display their passion for, and knowledge of, a wide range of music – from classic country to vintage pop, no frills rock and roll to grandly overdubbed Wall Of Sound drama.
