Charli XCX and David Guetta Make 'Dirty Sexy Money' On New Collab

French Montana and Afrojack are also involved in this mega-banger...

Friday, November 3, 2017 - 10:44

We didn't see this one coming.

Pop's party queen Charli XCX has dropped a brand new song with David Guetta, Afrojack and French Montana and it's one enormous banger.

'Dirty Sexy Money' has all the right ingredients to be a relentless party track and it doesn't let us down as all four artists deliver, but it's definitely Charli in charge of the kitchen.

I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys (XCX)
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys

I need that bad boy to do me right on a Friday
And I need that good one to wake me up on a Sunday
That one from work can come over on Monday night
I want 'em all
I want 'em all
And when they finally leave me I'm all alone, but
I'm lookin' down and my girls are blowin' my phone up
Them twenty questions, they askin' me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back

I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse like
"I had to trash the hotel lobby"

But I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys

In every city I got ones with different ringtones
Flyin' from LA all the way to Puerto Rico
My girls are calling me asking me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back

I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse like
But I can't even lie, you got me

I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys

Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (no, no, no, no)
Darling, I can't stop it even if I wanted
Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (no, no, no, no)
Missed what you were sayin', I was miles away, yeah
Don't be mad, don't be mad, not like I had a choice

I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, boys

I was busy thinkin' 'bout boys (boys)
Boys (boys), boys (boys)
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys
Boys, (Oh) boys
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys.

The 'Boys' singer's personality bursts through the jagged synths and bounces over the dream-pop vibes of the lush pre-chorus.

Her bubblegum pop sensibilities influenced by her PC Music collaborations with producers like SOPHIE and Danny L Harle make the song a super-fun and flirtatious dance song as opposed to another basic banger about the club - although, we do often still love them.

The chorus is absolutely nuts and the type that is just made for screaming along on the dance floor, with its stuttered words and the massive "pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up!" ending.

'Dirty Sexy Money' is yet another certified banger to add to Charli's evergrowing collection and will no doubt set her up nicely for when her long-awaited third album finally drops in 2018.

Guetta, Afrojack, French, Charli: you've all struck gold again. Thank you.

You are something special, oh-woah
Twenty carats of lit gold
What we had was precious, oh-woah
But I had to let you go

We had a connection, oh-woah
But I'm not the type of girl who wants
Serious affection, oh-woah
It doesn't belong in my world

It was only was only night
But I wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go back to where we were
It was only was only night
But I wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go

Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
It was only one night
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go back to where we were?
It was only was only night
But I wanna go
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go back to where we were?
It was only was only night
But I wanna go
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go back to where we were?

Got that chain reaction, oh-woah
Didn't know what it was worth
Sixteen million mentions, oh-woah
Ain't picking up the whole damn earth, no no no

We had a connection, oh-woah
But I'm not the type of girl, oh you
You are an exception, oh yeah
Yeah, you blew my mind, I wanna rewind

It was only was only night
But I wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go back to where we were
It was only was only night
But I wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go back to where we were
I just wanna go

Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
It was only one night
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go back to where we were?
It was only was only night
But I wanna go
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go back to where we were?
It was only was only night
But I wanna go
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go back to where we were?

It was only was only night
Do you wanna?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, do you wanna?
It was only was only night
