Sucker – Charli XCX

It’s a dark, “yami” song that, contrary to its pop-leaning musical impression, vents pent-up feelings like dissing and a rebellious spirit.

While it maintains a bright mood throughout, the lyrics contain a lot of darkness, and the deep expressions radiate a distinctive, otherworldly presence.

Charli xcx – 365 (official lyric video)

A track has arrived that vividly captures the allure of club culture.

Featured on Charli XCX’s June 2024 album “BRAT,” this song is marked by energetic beats and psychedelic electronic elements.

Centered on themes of partying and self-expression, it portrays a hedonistic, nonstop lifestyle.

Produced by A.G.

Cook and George Daniel and featuring Shygirl, the track sparked major buzz across the club scene.

It’s an anthem for pushing boundaries through music and free self-expression—highly recommended for anyone eager to move on the dance floor.

Chains of LoveCharli XCX25rank/position

Charli xcx – Chains of Love (Official Video)

Charli XCX, who opened up new horizons in club pop with her 2024 album Brat.

Released in November 2025, this track was created for the soundtrack of the film Wuthering Heights, adapted from Emily Brontë’s classic novel.

Its dramatic, string-forward arrangement fuses with distorted synths and post-trap rhythms to portray a ruinous romance in a contemporary light.

The lyrics sing of captivity in the name of love—of being unable to leave even though freedom lies in separation—vividly expressing the pain and pleasure born of dependence and obsession.

In the gothic music video, levitating plates and a shattering glass table visualize the violence of love.

Updating her early decadent sensibilities with her current skill set, this work is one I especially recommend to anyone who resonates with destructive love.

This commercial promotes the beauty of lips using Dior Rouge, with close-up, clearly defined shots as well as scenes on stage.

It conveys that a beauty that inspires confidence is achieved through powerful forward strides and cool expressions when revealing the lips.

Enhancing the cool vibe of the visuals is the track “Guess” by Charli XCX.

It’s dance music with a powerfully resonant beat, and the stylish vocals layered over it create a cool atmosphere.

House featuring John CaleCharli XCX27rank/position

Charli xcx – House featuring John Cale (Official Video)

Charli XCX, who achieved major critical and commercial success with her 2024 masterpiece BRAT, released a new track in November 2025 featuring The Velvet Underground’s legendary artist John Cale.

It’s the lead single from the soundtrack written for Emerald Fennell’s film Wuthering Heights, and its experimental gothic sound is a shocking departure from her previous dancefloor focus.

Cale’s weathered narration intertwines with dissonant strings and noisy drones, and in the final stretch Charli’s screams layer in to create a strange, cathartic release.

Sonically embodying the film’s themes of love and obsession, and the curse of lineage, the piece brilliantly realizes a pop star’s bold push into a new expressive realm.

Sympathy is a knifeCharli XCX28rank/position

Charli xcx – Sympathy is a knife (official lyric video)

Since the start of 2025, this track from the album Brat has been back in the spotlight thanks to a buzzworthy, tacit back-and-forth on social media with Taylor Swift.

Its sharp sound—fusing synth-pop and electroclash—stands out, and the razor-edged lyrics, which liken Charli XCX’s anxiety and jealousy to a knife, cut straight to the heart.

The song was already on the album when it dropped in June 2024, but a remix featuring Ariana Grande arrived that October, reaching No.

7 on the UK charts and No.

36 on the U.S.

Billboard chart.

With expanded lyrics addressing pressures faced by women artists—like media scrutiny and criticism of their appearance—it has resonated even more widely.

It’s a must-listen for anyone who’s ever caught themselves comparing to others or felt the loneliness that can come with being in the spotlight.
