Brat (stylized both in all uppercase and in all lowercase) is the sixth studio album by British singer-songwriter Charli XCX.[a] It was officially released on 7 June 2024, through Atlantic Records, and supported by three singles: "Von Dutch", "360", and "Apple".
Drawing heavy influence from the illegal London rave scene and rooted in club culture, the album features more direct and personal lyricism alongside a more electronic sound compared to her previous studio album, Crash (2022), and was conceived as a direct response to it. Production was handled exclusively by A. G. Cook, Finn Keane, George Daniel, Gesaffelstein, and Hudson Mohawke.
The album was supported by a deluxe edition, subtitled Brat and It's the Same but There's Three More Songs So It's Not, released three days ahead of the standard edition, and a remix album, Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat (2024), which featured 20 guest artists and contained remixed versions of 17 of the 18 deluxe tracks. To further promote the record, XCX co-headlined the Sweat tour with Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan in 2024 before embarking on her fourth headlining concert tour, the Brat Tour, which began in November 2024 and concluded in August 2025.
Commercially, Brat became her highest-charting album on the Billboard 200 and marked the biggest success of her career. Upon release, it received widespread critical acclaim and was described by several outlets as "one of the biggest pop culture moments of the year". The album and its songs earned nine nominations at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, winning three awards, among them Best Dance/Electronic Album. It was also shortlisted for the 2024 Mercury Prize for Album of the Year and won British Album of the Year at the 2025 Brit Awards.
Background
At the Brit Awards in February 2023, XCX confirmed that she had returned to the studio, although the first indications of the album's development did not emerge until April, when she stated that her new material was "talking a lot of shit about a lot of people".[1][2] Later that month, she revealed that the project would include contributions from producers A. G. Cook, Easyfun, Gesaffelstein, and Hudson Mohawke.[3] In September, she shared a snippet of a vocal take of "Club Classics" alongside a notebook page containing lyrics for a track titled "The Apple".[4] In a December 2023 interview, it was confirmed that the album had been completed and was scheduled for release the following year.[5][6][7] The record's rollout began in January 2024, when XCX changed her social media profile picture and archived her entire Instagram page.[8]
Composition
Ahead of the conclusion of the Crash rollout in April 2023, XCX remarked that her next project "would be for [her]", expressing dissatisfaction with what she described as the "vanilla palatable flatness" of the pop landscape, as well as the more commercial sound she had pursued on the album at the behest of her label, Atlantic Records.[9][10] Although she was unhappy with the musical direction of Crash, she expressed satisfaction with its campaign, noting that the album had been "statistically one of [her] biggest records" and that Crash: The Live Tour (2022-2023) had been her largest tour to date.[11]
Inspiration
Speaking to Billboard and i-D, XCX explained that the album's "direct and honest" approach was a deliberate response to the concept behind her fifth studio album, Crash. She noted that she felt the need to make Brat because her previous record had focused on her "trying to appeal". She also described Crash as not being a particularly collaborative project and said she had "really tried not to write love songs or songs about [her] romantic relationship" in order for the new album to "feel more gossipy", as she wanted to "make songs about [her] friends" and "name check them all".[12][13] She cited the films Across the Universe (2007), Basic Instinct (1992), Daisies (1966), Human Traffic (1999), Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan (1972), Party Girl (1995), Party Monster (2003), Project X (2012), To Die For (1995), Velvet Goldmine (1998), Wild Child (2008), and Yannick (2022) as inspirations, stating that they "all have a brat-like energy to them".[14]
XCX said her work would always carry similarities to her previous projects, particularly in its engagement with nightlife. She reflected that she and her friends had not really experienced the London nightlife in their early years, with their closest reference point being the British teen comedy-drama television series Skins (2007–2013). With Brat, she aimed to create "a return to the club" and a record that felt "as conversational and directional as possible". She described it as her "most aggressive and confrontational record", but also her most "conversational and personal".[15] Comparing Pop 2 (2017), How I'm Feeling Now (2020), and Brat, she referred to them as "siblings" in her catalogue, adding that Brat was probably the closest in ethos to Pop 2.[9][16][17] She also remarked that being a musician is "fucking twisted and hard" and that she craved making a record that reflected those experiences.[9]
Manifesto
When writing the manifesto for the album in 2023, XCX stated that she expressed "things [she] should've said when [she] was doing [her 2016 EP] Vroom Vroom, but didn't have the confidence to say".[18] She explained that the project did not feature commercially oriented tracks, as she felt "we don't live in that world now", adding that her label, Atlantic Records, "should recognize that [her] fan base [is] hungry for [her] and [their] slight left world of pop dance music". She further described her words as "confident and aggressive", noting that "the label got on board" and "left [her] alone", which she described as "all [she has] ever wanted".[19] Regarding Brat, she remarked that she "had to do it for [her fans]", calling them "special" for having championed her career.[20]
In December 2024, a portion of the manifesto was published by XCX on her private Instagram account.[21][22][23] In it, she expressed a desire to "cultivate desire, chaos and destruction", and aimed for the album's campaign to embody "high art", with its artwork being suggested as "obnoxious, arrogant and bold". Her Boiler Room performance, Partygirl, was premeditated as part of this vision, with XCX intending to "throw a rave long before the album is out" in order to preview unfinished demos and new material. Several of the remixes created for the set were later reworked and released on Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat, while the DJ sets were intended to serve as reference points within the campaign. She further requested that her label understand and execute her vision "with power and confidence". When questioned by a fan about the authenticity of the manifesto, XCX replied: "female artists being underestimated... a tale as old as time <3".[24]
Themes and sonic identity
Along with its accompanying remix project, Brat is an electropop, synth-pop, club-pop, hyperpop, electroclash, and dance album and features a more club-oriented and aggressive production than her previous studio album Crash, which embraced a more commercially appealing sound.[25] The album draws heavy inspiration from the illegal London rave scene, reflecting the club culture where XCX began performing as a teenager.[26][12] Her earliest performances were attended by her parents, who provided support and supervision, even though she had planned to attend raves independently.[27] In her cover story interview with Vogue Singapore, she recalled playing at illegal warehouse raves in Hackney when she started making music, describing it as feeling like "home".[28]
In February 2024, XCX explained to The Face's Shaad D'Souza that the album was produced from a tight collection of sounds to create "this unique minimalism that is very loud and bold", with its sound later compared to 2000s-era Ministry of Sound compilations, The Annual and Rihanna's Loud (2010).[9] She had previously hinted at a "minimalistic pop" release in August 2023, predicting that the following year's pop music would be more minimal, with tracks comprising only a few sounds plus vocals, and conversational lyrics replacing "metaphorical flowery lyrics".[29][30] Responding to a fan who claimed that "pop music should be high brow and exciting," XCX stated that minimalism in pop can create extreme drama, citing songs such as Peaches' "Fuck the Pain Away" and Sophie's "Bipp" as examples.[31]
“Lyrically, this is quite a different record for me. I've written the songs almost in the way I would write texts to my friends or based on things I would say to them on FaceTime. We talk a lot about pop culture and music and it's been really fun to gossip about the songs we go. They'll ask 'Oh, who is this one about? Is this about a friend? Is it about an ex?' It has fuelled this fun, gossipy narrative which permeates the album.”
Prior to its release, the album was teased as containing diss tracks, with XCX describing it as "[her] most gossipy album" and stating that she was "having a lot of fun pushing [herself] to tell uncomfortable stories".[1][32][33] In her February 2024 cover story interview with The Face, it was reported that the record featured "shady and bratty, but tender and heartbreaking" lyrics, focusing largely on friendships and rivalries rather than the romantic themes typical of mainstream pop, as her relationship with then-fiancé George Daniel was described as "genuinely really nice and happy".[9]
In May, XCX clarified that the album does not include diss tracks aside from "Von Dutch". She explained that the songs sometimes characterised as disses addressed the challenges of being a female artist in the contemporary music industry, in which women are often pitted against each other while also being expected to maintain friendly relationships. She elaborated that "somedays you can feel on top of the world, [or] unbelievably insecure, [or] highly competitive, [or] like literal trash".[34] Speaking to Billboard in March, she further discussed the album's lyricism:[12]
- "This album is very direct. I'm over the idea of metaphor and flowery lyricism and not saying exactly what I think, the way I would say it to a friend in a text message. This record is all the things I would talk about with my friends, said exactly how I would say them. It's in ways very aggressive and confrontational, but also very conversational and personal. And not in that boring way where artists are like, 'This is my most personal record.' To me, it feels like listening to a conversation with a friend."
Speaking with Rolling Stone UK, XCX compared the lyrics of "Good Ones", the lead single of Crash, to her own lyricism, explaining that one would rarely say, "Me? I let the good ones go!", but rather, "Oh my God, I'm a fucking mess. I keep falling for fucking idiot guys". She added that she "really [does] feel like [she's] saying things that [she] would say in private to friends" when she wrote the album.[35] British producer A. G. Cook told The Times in March 2025 that, during the development of the record, "[XCX] had unlocked a lyrical perspective that felt very confident", with XCX noting she "had to have this specific feeling or narrative ahead of time" to write lyrics, rather than "[writing] lyrics like an industry songwriter, stringing together nonsense vowel sounds then matching words to them on a second pass".[36][9]
Narrative
"360", the opening track, explores themes of individuality, style, and self-empowerment. It references several of XCX's friends and collaborators, including British producer A. G. Cook, American model and former Nasty Cherry lead vocalist Gabbriette, who is engaged to Matty Healy of The 1975, and American actress Julia Fox, the song's primary inspiration.[37][38][39] The track features minimalist electropop production by Cook, Cirkut, and Finn Keane, with XCX delivering deadpan vocals. "Club Classics" adopts a club-oriented sound, sampling a 2009 interview between XCX and British photographer Rankin, and depicts her dancing recklessly while name-checking Cook, her husband George Daniel, and collaborators Hudson Mohawke and Sophie, reminiscent of her 2017 unreleased track "Bounce". "Sympathy Is a Knife" is a synth-pop track built on synthesizers and handclaps, expressing paranoia as Xcx compares herself to another woman. Several lyrics prompted speculation it was about American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who had invited Xcx to support her Reputation Stadium Tour (2018), though XCX clarified in a Vulture interview that it reflects her own insecurity and anxiety.[40][41]
The fourth track, "I Might Say Something Stupid", is described as an "excoriatingly personal Auto-Tuned ballad" by Rolling Stone UK's Hannah Ewens, reportedly detailing existential fear after an industry party.[35] Its subdued, ambient production transitions into "Talk Talk", a song about XCX's early relationship with British drummer George Daniel, recalling a moment at the 2020 NME Awards when they were "very into each other" yet avoided eye contact.[42] Lead single "Von Dutch" embraces gossip and obsession, referencing the cult fashion brand of the same name.[9][43] Its heavy electronic beat marks it as the album's only diss track.[34] "Everything Is Romantic" reflects on fleeting relationships, sampling American musician Jae Deal's "Joint 2" (2024) and incorporating dance-pop and Brazilian funk elements produced by El Guincho, Cook, and XCX herself, while its outro repeats the phrase "fall in love again and again", suggesting an endless romantic cycle.
"Rewind" was written in response to the commercial success of "Speed Drive" (2023), expressing a desire to return to a time before XCX felt insecure about her appearance and career.[44] "So I" is a tribute to longtime English producer Sophie, written with Finn Keane and Jon Shave.[45] The track explores grief and shame over their past relationship, with both the original mix and remix holding deep personal significance.[9][46] Similarly to "Sympathy Is a Knife", "Girl, So Confusing" addresses a complicated relationship with New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, reflecting XCX's early jealousy and comparisons between them.[47][35] "Apple", inspired by American singer Caroline Polachek's writing style, examines familial traits using the metaphor "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree" and XCX's experience growing up between her mother's Indian family and her father's white family.[48][28]
In "B2B", XCX explores cyclical emotional patterns, repeating the word "back" to reflect regression and returning to an old lover, possibly referencing Huck Kwong, muse of "No Angel" (2018) and "February 2017" (2019). "Mean Girls" is partially inspired by Julia Fox and American actress Dasha Nekrasova, exploring societal fascination with "mean girls" and XCX's curiosity about why certain women are coded as mean.[9] Mike Skinner's influence is referenced in "Club Classics" and intended for the remix album, though it did not materialize. "I Think About It All the Time" borrows his flow, reflecting XCX's anxiety about fan reception and contemplating motherhood after meeting Swedish singer-songwriter Noonie Bao's baby.[49][50][51][52] The album closes with "365", a remixed version of "360", the opening track.[53] She explained that she wanted the sequencing to feel like a "rotating DJ mix".[54] The track departs from the existential tone of its predecessor, featuring an energetic electropop arrangement and lyrics about reckless partying "because you're running away from something", and progresses to be, sonically, a "little wilder and more fucked up".[55]
The sixteenth track from the deluxe edition, "Hello Goodbye", lyrically references XCX distancing herself from her partner, though she reflects she had sabotaged herself. It's speculated the song was conceived during the sessions of her eponymous third studio album, Charli (2019). "Guess" cheekily challenges XCX requesting her partner to guess the color of her underwear and practice cunnilingus, which is oral sex, on her. "Spring Breakers", the last track from the deluxe, suggests that XCX's edginess prevents her from music industry events, most notably the Grammy Awards, and may have been inspired by the film of same name, as American singer Britney Spears' "Everytime" (2003) is featured in the movie and sampled in the track.[56][57] The version of "Talk Talk" featuring Troye Sivan, included on the Japanese edition of the album, was developed after XCX invited Sivan and his collaborators, Leland, Novodor, Styalz Fuego and Zhone, to produce a completely different track using the original as a "seed".[58] The lyrics explore the sexuality and romance of their respective relationships, while the production leans into dance-pop and house influences. English singer-songwriter Dua Lipa, whom the remix was originally pitched, provides spoken-word segments in Spanish and French at the intro and outro, respectively.[59]
Title
XCX came up with the title Brat on 16 March 2022, although it was not her first option; other tentative titles for the album included Desire and I Want.[60] Before its official release, the album's title appeared in all uppercase on streaming services, while the artwork and promotional materials stylised it in all lowercase. On 1 June 2024, XCX addressed this discrepancy, admitting she was "always confused" about the album's stylization.[61] She later explained that she chose Brat because it sounded "bitchy, very direct and a little confrontational" as well as "c***y[b] and confident", reflecting the idea that "you act like a brat when you're feeling insecure". She further noted that working in the music industry and engaging with the public often involved sudden shifts in self-perception, describing the feeling as moving from "you're the best" to "you're the worst" within hours.[62]
In her usage, a "brat" is characterised as being confident and independent, having a hedonistic attitude, and embracing a bold, unapologetic self.[63][64][65][66] Traditionally the term defines a petulant child, but XCX redefined it in interviews as:[67]
- "You're just like that girl, who is a little messy, and likes to party, and maybe say dumb things sometimes; who feels herself, but then also maybe has a breakdown, but parties through it. It's very honest, it's very blunt, a little bit volatile. Yeah, does dumb things, but like, it's brat. You're brat. That's brat!
Artwork
The artwork for Brat originated from XCX's intention to reduce costs, as she felt the album would not be commercially appealing to a mainstream audience.[68] Her initial plan was to "make a press shoot and then save on the album cover", noting that it would be "cool" given that her previous projects had all included her image, with the exception of her fourth EP, Vroom Vroom. She later compared both Brat and Vroom Vroom as projects centred on herself and her creative team.[69] After presenting the idea to her manager, creative director, and friends, XCX recalled that they dismissed it as "the stupidest idea ever".
At the Castle Cinema in London, after viewing American film director Gregg Araki's film Smiley Face (2007), XCX stated that the font and colours of the end credits inspired her to pursue the concept of a "font text bold album cover". She also cited Ti West's X film series as embodying a "pretty brat" sensibility, quoting the line "I wanna be a star!" from Pearl (2022).[60] While making mockups of the design, she concluded that it "very much embodies the word brat to not be there because [it is] less of the norm for female artists".[70] Following the selection of the cover, XCX anticipated that it would provoke controversy and backlash.[71] The standard artwork features a lime green square with the title in lowercase Arial font.
Upon its unveiling on 28 February 2024, it attracted significant criticism, including an online post that described the covers of Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine, Brat, Dua Lipa's Radical Optimism and Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department as poorly designed.[72][73] In response, XCX commented on X that the "constant demand for access to women's bodies and faces in [their] album artwork is misogynistic and boring".[74] In an interview with Vogue Singapore, she remarked that the criticism reflected a wider culture of fans feeling "ownership over female artists", expecting their images to appear on album covers. She explained that she chose a deliberately off-trend shade of green to "trigger the idea of something being wrong", adding that she was "interested in the narratives behind [why things are considered good or bad]" and sought to provoke discussion.[28][75] Speaking with Rolling Stone UK, she recalled the situation surrounding her tweet, stating that she "struggle[s] with the fact that art is taken at such face value in this day and age". She expressed frustration with "people just [digesting] the thing that's in front of them and not [asking] questions", adding that "part of the fun of pop music and especially pop campaigns is figuring it all out".[35]
The artwork and packaging were designed by XCX in June 2022 and finalised with New York-based studio Special Offer, Inc.[76][77] Despite its simplicity, the cover underwent a five-month development process. She described it as "disgusting", "quite gross", "un-cool", "un-trendy" and "un-pleasant", framing it as a pop art gesture intended to spark debate.[60][75] Designer Brent David Freaney selected the final shade after reviewing approximately 500 colour options, seeking a garish effect that would provoke negative reactions.[78] The chosen shade, with hex code #8ace00, aligned with XCX's vision of irreverence. The pixelated effect was used to evoke a rushed quality, while the Arial typeface was selected in July 2023 for its "basic" and "non-precious" appearance.[60] The slightly stretched text was deliberately placed to appear neither understated nor overtly bold, creating what Freaney described as a neutral aesthetic.[79]
The deluxe edition of Brat and its companion remix project, Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat, continued the minimalist aesthetic of the standard artwork. The deluxe cover features a plain white background, while the remix edition presents mirrored text arranged in a staggered alignment along the right edge of the square. During her performance at Coachella in April 2025, XCX displayed an alternate version of the cover with scribbles over the word "brat", which was subsequently replaced by the standard artwork on streaming platforms and was later modified in May with a variation incorporating brown metallic rust.[80][81][82] The alterations were interpreted as signalling the possible conclusion of the Brat era.[83][84] On the album's first anniversary, 7 June 2025, the artwork was modified once again to display the phrase "forever <3", before reverting to the original design on 28 June 2025.[85][86]
Marketing
In an October 2024 interview with Apple Music 1, Zane Lowe praised the marketing of Brat, describing it as creative and high-quality, and noted its departure from the prevailing demand for "just want [a] fast punchy" rollouts. XCX agreed with this observation, stating that she believes "the music industry is [not] knowledgeable on marketing as it should be", particularly in the pop scene, where "the aim is to sell as much as possible, go on tour, and be everywhere". She added that marketing could be approached more creatively, by "starving the audience" to "get the viewer into this feverish state where they actually want more, rather than serving them this endless buffet".[87]
In April 2025, near the end of the album's rollout, she reflected online that it had been difficult to "let go of Brat, and of this thing that is so inherently in [her]", having spent roughly two years conceptualizing how the album's sound and identity would be presented and how she wanted to cultivate desire among listeners.[88]
On the release week of Brat, artworks for the album's predecessors—True Romance, Sucker, Vroom Vroom, Number 1 Angel, Pop 2, Charli, How I'm Feeling Now and Crash—were updated across streaming platforms throughout 4 and 5 June 2024, to match the album's standard artwork.[89][90] After being asked by fans multiple times to revert the artworks to their originals, XCX posted a video in March 2025, explaining everything she made during the record's rollout was for a reason, and when the original artworks are reverted there will be a reason.[91][92] On 15 May 2025 the artwork of How I'm Feeling Now was reverted in order to promote the album's fifth anniversary and the "Party 4 U" single release.[93] Two months later, on 30 June, the original artworks for the remaining albums were reverted.[94]
After the style of album cover and the specific shade of green became a viral sensation, XCX's team rushed to create a "Brat Generator" tool, which allowed users to replicate the cover with their own custom text.[44][65][95][96][97]
The tool was released to the public on 2 March 2024.[98][99] On 11 June, it was updated to replicate the deluxe edition's album artwork, which features a white background with longer text and increased spacing.[100][101] On 12 September, it was updated again to match the cover art of the follow-up remix album Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat, which features a similar neon green background, but with mirrored and upper-positioned text.[102][103] On the 23rd, it was updated to feature the typography and promotional images of the joint tour Sweat with Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan.[104][105] Lastly, on 9 April 2025, the tool was updated to reflect the promotion for XCX's Coachella performance, replicating the standard edition artwork—but crossed out.[106]
In the weeks leading up to the release of Brat, a wall in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which fans dubbed the "Brat Wall", was painted and repainted with the album's signature green color and evolving messages throughout the summer. XCX's friend and photographer Terrence O'Connor was the one behind the creation of the Brat Wall, and mentioned that one of the main focuses of the campaign for the album was about "making and creating real-life, in-person moments", that can be captured digitally.[44]
On 2 May 2024, XCX posted an address online: "The lot radio - 7pm. 17 Nassau Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222", hinting something.[107] The address led to the wall, that displayed "i'm your favorite reference", where Xcx did a surprise DJ set.[108][109] After the performance, the quote was transitioned to simply "brat". On 9 June, the wall changed to all white with the message, "brat and it's the same but there's three more songs so it's not", revealing the title and artwork for the deluxe edition of the album.[110] On 20 June, the wall was repainted once again, but remained white.[111] After it finished, it showcased "lorde", hinting possible involvement of New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde on the album's rollout.[112] Later that day it was announced she would be featured in the remix of "Girl, So Confusing".[113] The final message of the Brat Wall—"ok bye!" in the album's signature green—was painted on 1 July.[114]
The final message was towards the discontinuation of the wall, but was mislabeled as the ending of the rollout and promotion for the album.[115][114] After its discontinuation, the wall was displayed as the "Charli xcx wall" and described as a "cultural landmark" on Google Maps.[116][117] On 24 November 2024, a billboard for XCX's collaboration with Acne Studios was displayed at the former Brat Wall.[118] In celebration of the first anniversary of Brat, the former Brooklyn wall was repainted to spell "forever<3", to match the album's anniversary artwork, along with three additional walls in London, Los Angeles and Sydney.[119]
Remix album
Main article: Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat
A follow-up remix album, titled Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat, was released on 11 October 2024. Featured artists on the record include The 1975, A. G. Cook, Addison Rae, Ariana Grande, BB Trickz, Billie Eilish, Bladee, Bon Iver, Caroline Polachek, The Japanese House, Jon Hopkins, Julian Casablancas, Kesha, Lorde, Robyn, Shygirl, Tinashe, Troye Sivan and Yung Lean. The remix album received generally favorable reviews, who considered it an innovative companion piece to the original album.[120][121]
During the original album's rollout, several remixes of its tracks were released throughout the album cycle to promote their original counterparts. Between February and October 2024, XCX and producers A. G. Cook, Finn Keane, and George Daniel previewed alternate versions of songs intended for the album's final tracklist during promotional DJ sets, most notably at her "Partygirl" Boiler Room set in Brooklyn on 22 February and throughout the Partygirl promotional tour.[122] Ahead of the release of the album's lead single, "Von Dutch", in February, two remixes appeared: one featuring English producer A. G. Cook and American singer Addison Rae, and another featuring British producers Skream and Benga, released in March and April 2024, respectively.[123][124] In late May, a remix of "360" featuring Swedish singer Robyn and rapper Yung Lean was released, followed in June by a version of "Girl, So Confusing" with New Zealand singer-songwriter Lorde, which was issued on 21 June after rumours pointed that the song referenced either Rina Sawayama, Marina, or Lorde herself.[125][126][127] "Guess" featuring American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish was released on 1 August as the fifth remix, while a version of "Talk Talk" featuring Troye Sivan released on 12 September, as the sixth and final remix single.[128][129]
Following the release of several remixes, speculation arose regarding an accompanying project to Brat built around a "remix concept" and multiple featured artists, drawing comparisons to XCX's earlier works, including her fourth mixtape Pop 2 and her eponymous third studio album Charli, which were filled with collaborations.[130] In August 2024, she denied the existence of such a project in an interview with Vulture, while noting in a separate interview with Billboard that one final remix would be issued before the end of the summer.[41][39] On 12 September 2024, however, the same day the remix of "Talk Talk" was released, XCX announced her debut remix album.[131]
Tours

On 24 March 2024, to promote her upcoming album, XCX announced two sets of live appearances, titled Brat Live and Partygirl.[132][133] Brat Live featured performances of the then-unreleased album, while Partygirl consisted of DJ sets, reminiscent of her previous Brooklyn-based Boiler Room warehouse set. The series began on 1 June 2024 in Barcelona, Spain, and concluded on 5 July 2024 in Roskilde, Denmark.[134]
In April, it was announced that she would embark on a co-headlining tour with Troye Sivan in September, titled Sweat, to promote their respective recent albums, Brat and Something to Give Each Other (2023).[135][136][137][138][139] A solo four-show United Kingdom tour, initially called the Brat Arena Tour and scheduled for November, was also announced.[140] XCX later confirmed that it would be expanded into 2025 to include selected indoor arenas and music festivals.[141][142] British singer Shygirl supported all 22 dates of Sweat and the first leg of the Brat Tour, while British songwriter and producer Finn Keane appeared on select dates of the third leg of the latter.[143][144][145]
Track listing
On 3 April 2024, XCX announced the track listing for Brat.[146][147] All the tracks are stylized in sentence case, similar to text messages. This likely came from the idea of her feeling like the songs are about "things that [she] would say in private to friends".[28] It's also rumored that she changed her stage name from "Charli XCX" to "Charli xcx" to match this stylization.
