Singer Charli XCX has released a B-side to her latest single.
Fans were sent into a frenzy after the Brat hitmaker, 33, whose real name is Charlotte Aitchison, shared the additional track – I Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day And Night – to Instagram on Saturday.
It comes just one day after the release of her latest track Rock Music, which is believed to be the lead single from her upcoming album, and its accompanying music video directed by Aidan Zamiri.
The singer shared the electronic-sounding track alongside a video, which was filmed in black-and-white and follows Charli as she performs a sultry topless dance routine in an empty studio.
During the almost two-minute track, the chart-topper repeatedly chants the title of the song while synthesised pop melodies play in the background.
Beneath the video, which was shared to her B-sides Instagram account, she wrote: “I Keep Thinking About You Every Single Day And Night. The B-side to Rock Music.
“I went to Kyoto for six weeks to shoot a film. While we were there, I made this video with Aidan (Zamiri).”
Aitchison also revealed to her followers that the track is only available on vinyl or on her secondary Instagram page, adding: “Rip the audio if you want it xx.”
The 360 singer released her latest track on Friday, which has been received well by critics and her millions of fans.
It comes after an interview in Vogue appeared to suggest Aitchison was “making rock music” for her follow-up to 2024’s Brat, before she said in a post on Instagram: “I never said I was making a rock album.”
She told the fashion magazine: “If I’d made another album that felt more dance-leaning, it would have felt really hard, really sad, but what’s interesting for me is to bend the possibilities of what my perspective on that could be.”
The pop star is best known for her the Brat album which sparked a cultural phenomenon and a frenzy on social media, as well as the “Brat summer” trend which incorporated sultry fashion choices inspired by the neon green and black album cover.
Charli released her Wuthering Heights companion album to Emerald Fennell’s film of the same name earlier this year, which was heavily praised by critics and earned the singer her third UK number one album.
The singer also starred in The Moment, a semi-fictional film looking at the release of Brat and the world tour that followed, earlier this year and has appeared in other film projects including Pete Ohs’ Erupcja and Julia Jackman’s 100 Nights Of Hero.
Charli has also had two UK number one singles and is best known for tracks such as Boom Clap, Guess and I Love It with Swedish duo Icona Pop.
