Fans are buzzing with excitement over the possibility of pop sensation Billie Eilish collaborating with Charli XCX on a remix of the track “Guess,” which is part of Charli’s latest album, “Brat.” This speculation has intensified following a recent social media post by Charli, hinting at an upcoming remix that has captivated her audience.
On Wednesday afternoon, Charli XCX shared a tantalizing teaser on her social media platforms. The post featured an image with the caption “Guess ?” alongside another artist whose identity remains a mystery, as their face was not visible in the picture. The text in the image read: “Guess featuring,” followed by a series of blank spaces, further fueling the intrigue among fans.
Many fans have pointed out that the rings on the mysterious artist’s hand bear a striking resemblance to those worn by Billie Eilish during her recent appearance on Amelia Dimoldenberg’s popular show, “Chicken Shop Date.” This connection has led to a flurry of speculation regarding Eilish’s involvement in the remix. However, Charli XCX has yet to confirm whether Eilish is indeed the featured artist or disclose the release date for the much-anticipated remix. Just last week, Charli hinted in an Instagram post that something exciting might be dropping soon.
Charli XCX’s album “Brat,” released in June, has gained significant traction and has inspired a viral trend dubbed “Brat summer.” The album’s aesthetic, characterized by its neon-green cover and all-lowercase lettering, has been widely embraced by fans and even public figures. Notably, Vice President Kamala Harris has adopted the “Brat” aesthetic for her presidential campaign, updating her campaign’s social media cover photo to mirror the album’s design. Charli XCX has publicly supported Harris, posting on social media that “kamala IS brat,” which has led to fans creating viral video edits of Harris dancing and enjoying the music from “Brat.”
In her description of “Brat summer,” Charli XCX explained that it embodies confidence and self-expression. She encourages fans to put themselves out there, embrace their individuality, and be the center of attention. According to Charli, “Brat summer” can be interpreted in various ways; it can be luxurious or trashy, depending on how one chooses to engage with the theme. Essential items for “Brat summer” include a pack of cigarettes, a Bic lighter, and a strappy white top without a bra.
The album “Brat” has seen a surge in popularity, paralleling the growth of the “Brat summer” trend. Charli XCX’s track “360” has made significant strides on streaming platforms, climbing to No. 27 on the U.S. Spotify chart for the week ending July 25, a notable increase from its previous position at No. 51. This rise in streaming numbers can be attributed in part to the song’s widespread use in various “Brat” themed video edits on TikTok.
Another standout track from the album, “Apple,” has also gained traction, thanks to a viral TikTok dance that has been emulated by several celebrities, including Glen Powell, Brooke Shields, and Stephen Colbert. This trend has contributed to the song’s growing popularity, showcasing the album’s influence on social media and pop culture.
As the anticipation builds for the potential collaboration between Billie Eilish and Charli XCX, fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the remix of “Guess.” The excitement surrounding this project reflects the dynamic intersection of music, social media, and cultural trends, with Charli XCX at the forefront of the ongoing “Brat summer” phenomenon.
