"All of the Dead Girls" is a song by American supergroup Dreamcar for their self-titled debut album from 2017. The song was produced by Tim Pagnotta and written by the group's four members: Tom Dumont, Davey Havok, Tony Kanal, and Adrian Young. Originally distributed as a promotional single in April, it was later released as the album's second single in July 2017, through Columbia Records. Lead singer Havok was inspired by his friend, American actor Josh Richman, to write a song about "dead girls", resulting in a darker, slightly morbid song. Musically, it is a 1980s-influenced power pop and synth-pop track that contains backing vocals from Dumont, Kanal, and Young. Former No Doubt member Gabrial McNair appears as a keyboardist on the song.
Music critics provided mixed reviews of "All of the Dead Girls", and discussed the song's lyrics and production. Some critics compared it to the works of 1980s groups, such as New Order, Duran Duran, Bauhaus, Adam Ant, and the Cure. Dreamcar performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in April 2017 and during their promotional United States tour. During concert performances of "All of the Dead Girls", the group planned to film its music video.
