Who Are the Girls? is the debut studio album by English rock duo Nova Twins, released 28 February 2020 through 333 Wreckords Crew. With the exception of "Lose Your Head", which was produced by Kevin Van Bergen and released as a single in 2018, the album's songs were recorded with producer Jim Abbiss at his Lime Green Monkeys recording studio in Saffron Walden between Nova Twins' tours of Europe in 2019. A genre-bending album predominately mixing elements from electropunk, electronica, hip-hop, grime, nu metal, and punk rock, Who Are the Girls? features energetic compositions and an abrasive sound that was intended to reflect that of Nova Twins' live shows. Lyrically, it centers on themes of social injustice, empowerment, diversity, and individuality.
Who Are the Girls? received critical acclaim, with music critics praising its unique and innovative sound, energy, and lyrical themes. The album placed on several end-of-year lists whilst its fourth single, "Taxi", won the "Best Music Video" award at the Heavy Music Awards 2021. Although most of Nova Twins' touring plans in support of Who Are the Girls? were scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic, internet word-of-mouth surrounding the album would help raise their profile and expand their fanbase during this time. In 2021, Nova Twins toured with Bring Me the Horizon and Enter Shikari and released a deluxe edition of the album featuring remixes of "Undertaker" by Fever 333 and "Bullet" by Dream Wife.
