Studio Killers’ “Jenny” - Songwriter & Publisher Royalties

This listing includes the songwriter and publisher shares of public performance royalties for Studio Killers’ gold-certified hit “Jenny.”

The catalog maintains a solid five-year CAGR of 24.31% and, more importantly, carries a high Dollar Age of 12.41 years—reflecting more than a decade of earnings.

“Jenny (I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship)” by Studio Killers has evolved from a 2013 Scandinavian electro-pop single into a globally recognized queer anthem. Released on May 3, 2013 as the fourth single from the group’s self-titled debut album Studio Killers, the track blends Europop and commercial house with bright Caribbean-leaning instrumentation. “Jenny” is the group’s breakout signature hit, achieving RIAA Gold certification in the United States.

The song’s second life began in late 2020 through TikTok, where the hashtag and lyric trend known as #RuinOurFriendship generated hundreds of thousands of user-generated videos and tens of millions of impressions, driving the track back into global streaming rotation and reintroducing it to a younger audience nearly a decade after its original release. That resurgence helped carry “Jenny” to number seven on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and number twenty-nine on the 2021 year-end ranking.

“Jenny” has stayed relevant through official remixes and high-profile collaborations. The Faustix remix—by Danish DJ and producer Faustix—was released on February 10, 2021, reintroducing the track to club audiences. A refreshed, pop-forward version featuring German pop artist Kim Petras followed on March 26, 2021. A later rework with Kim Petras and Swedish producer Garvicii was released on October 11, 2024, further extending the song’s reach. Most recently, American DJ and producer Ian Asher released a new dance rework in 2025, once again pushing the hook into contemporary EDM playlists.
