The February 9 episode of Riverdale will premiere a new song by Josie and the Pussycats (Ashleigh Murray as Josie, Hayley Law as Valerie, and Asha Bromfield as Melody) as they debut their new original song “All For Me.” Below you can read a press release with more information; underneath that you can see the actual video!
JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS DEBUT NEW SONG IN FIRST-LOOK VIDEO FROM MUSICAL PERFORMANCE PREMIERING IN THE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 9, EPISODE OF RIVERDALE ON THE CW
Series star Ashleigh Murray provides lead vocals on the new “All For Me” recording, which Josie (Murray) and the Pussycats (guest stars Asha Bromfield as Melody and Hayley Law as Valerie) perform at the Taste of Riverdale event in the video. (Murray previously sang lead on a cover of “Candy Girl [Sugar Sugar]” which aired in the February 2 episode.) As the band performs, Archie (series star KJ Apa) finds a way to sneak into the event after being grounded by his father, Fred (series star Luke Perry), earlier.
Previously in the episode, Archie visits one of the Pussycats’ rehearsals and helps the band finish a lyric for the song. The unexpected creative outlet sparks new hope for Archie, whose interest in music was put to the test after resistance from his father, a complicated relationship with his music teacher, and skepticism from Josie herself.

Riverdale executive producer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa said: “So far in the series, we’ve seen the Pussycats perform two covers, but in this episode, we see them doing an original song, ‘All For Me,’ at an event Josie’s mom, Mayor McCoy, is hosting for Riverdale. A bit less pop than what we might normally associate with the Pussycats, but a really great showcase for their voices and talents — with more original songs to come.”
Based on the characters from Archie Comics and produced by Berlanti Productions (The Flash, Supergirl, Blindspot, Everwood) in association with Warner Bros. Television, Riverdale is a bold, one-hour drama that offers a subversive take on the surreality of small-town life. The series stars are KJ Apa, Lili Reinhart, Camila Mendes, Cole Sprouse, Marisol Nichols, Madelaine Petsch, Ashleigh Murray, with Mädchen Amick and Luke Perry. Greg Berlanti, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Sarah Schechter and Jon Goldwater are the executive producers.
