Queens of the Stone Age have released their new single "Where the Goth Girls At?" ahead of their forthcoming album Perfecth, accompanied by a theatrical music video set in a factory where frontman Josh Homme oversees workers being transformed into goths through a dark ritual. The song weaves together Homme's nostalgic recollections of teenage years with deeper themes about near-death experiences and the euphoria that accompanies survival.

The track features QOTSA's signature desert-rock sound, with Homme's vocals floating through a smoky, faltering groove. In the music video, workers in navy jumpsuits are converted into black-clad goths through kisses from lead dancer Scarlett Kapella, creating a darkly comedic narrative. Homme explained that the song draws from his memories of goth girls working at JCPenney in his native Palm Desert, California, making over elderly customers. The lyric "Never felt so alive as the day I almost died" references Homme's own brush with mortality—he nearly drowned at age twelve—and his belief that near-death experiences create a unique euphoria and heightened appreciation for life's simple pleasures.
