Reception
"New Song" was generally well received by critics, but noted for being different from Warpaint's past material. 'NME' described the single as "the poppiest thing [Warpaint has] ever done and probably the catchiest too". The 'Los Angeles Times' called the single a "striking departure" from the band's previous work, but stated the song had "easy-to-memorize lyrics and a happy earworm of a melody". 'The Guardian' called the song a "disco charmer". "New Song" was the band's first single to chart on the 'Billboard' Alternative Songs and Adult Alternative Songs charts, where it peaked at numbers 32 and 14 respectively.
