French Exit is the debut studio album by American indie pop band TV Girl. It was released on June 5, 2014 and follows the release of their first mixtape The Wild, The Innocent, The TV Shuffle and their third EP Lonely Women.[1] The band describe the album's songs as "about lost lust, too much love and not enough."[2]

The album cover is an edited photo taken from Mary Lee Gowland's 1969 poetry collection, Tender Bough. In the album’s liner notes, it is stated that the image was taken by Mary's father, Peter Gowland, and used as the album cover with her permission.[2] The album received more popularity through TikTok,[3][4] following the increase in usage of the album's ninth track, "Lovers Rock",[5] which has over 800 million streams on Spotify as of 2024.
