"'''Rebel Girl'''" is a song by the American rock band, [[Angels & Airwaves]]. The song was released on April 30, 2019 as the band's first single for their upcoming album. It is also the first music release by them through [[Rise Records]]. The song was written by [[Tom DeLonge]], [[Ilan Rubin]], and Aaron Rubin.

== Background ==
Prior to recording for the band's upcoming album, DeLonge had become invested in numerous projects, many of which centered around his company, To The Stars, but began to tease that they were recording new music from early 2018 to early 2019 through their social media accounts. These teasers also revealed that [[David Kennedy (musician)|David Kennedy]] and [[Matt Wachter]], who had been absent in the band since the band's previous album, [[The Dream Walker]], had rejoined Angels & Airwaves.<ref></ref> Despite this news though, Wachter was not included in the band's lineup when "Rebel Girl" was released, while Kennedy was not listed as a songwriter.

DeLonge describes "Rebel Girl" as "a space-age love song that combines my enduring obsession for new wave, pop punk and anthemic rock and roll music".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> The instrumentals show to be more akin to the band's style before the release of The Dream Walker, with DeLonge stating that it and the album are "going to be way more in the direction of ''[[I-Empire]]''".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

== Release & Reception ==
"Rebel Girl" was released alongside multiple announcements from Angels & Airwaves. With its release, the band confirmed both their recording contract with [[Rise Records]], and their current line-up of DeLonge, Kennedy, and Rubin. Additionally, they also announced their first concert tour since 2012 in support of the song and album.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>

Critically, the song was met with mostly positive feedback. Graham Hartmann of [[Loudwire]] felt that the song "stays true to AVA’s synth pop style with classic [[Blink-182]] catchiness" while also noting that "DeLonge's unmistakable voice brings the track through a futuristic, yet familiar sound".<ref></ref> Jon Blistein of [[Rolling Stone]] called it "a pulsing love song that finds DeLonge bellowing over a melange of synth sounds".<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
