After the afterparty, we're gonna keep it going
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain

I think it's almost 4 AM, but baby, I'm still feeling just fine
Ice all up in a plastic cup and I'ma keep on sipping all night, yeah
I might a kissed a thousand lips but maybe that's just all in my mind
Some people never understand the way we live but we're living life

Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late
So everyone say, "We don't wanna stop"

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna stay 'til mornin'
Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're all in love
We're all in love

I'm hangin' on my best friend's couch and my clothes are all on the floor
I got glitter in my underwear like it was Studio 54, yeah
I can't remember why I love it, but I need it baby, clap, bring on the encore
Let's pour another drink, the glasses go
Yeah, we're always up for one more

Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late
So everyone say, "We don't wanna stop!"

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
'Cause after the afterparty
We're gonna stay 'til mornin'
Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're all in love
We're all in love

Monday to Sunday, doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
And we do it like ice cream for dinner
Bucket of liquor, we're getting sicker
Don't need Ibiza
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop

And we do it like
Monday to Sunday, doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna stay 'til mornin'
Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're all in love, we're all in love, yeah

Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah, we're all in love

OMG. Charli XCX and Halsey have just made our biggest female duet dreams come true. Not only have they performed on stage together for the first time but they have also done an amazing cover of the Spice Girls' international hit 'Wannabe'.

YES CHARLI AND HALSEY JUST COVERED THE SPICE GIRLS!

The two performers joined forces at Lollapalooza in Chicago, Illinois this weekend.

Charli had her own 14 song long slot at the festival on Sunday. The 'Fancy' writer not only performed some of her biggest hits and critically acclaimed tracks but she also did a couple of renditions of pop classics and invited Halsey to join in.

You can watch Charli and Halsey's version of 'Wannabe' below.

AMAZING.

This isn't the only time that we'll be seeing the 'Boys' singer and 'Now or Never' hitmaker together though. Charli is joining Halsey on tour in the US in September, so we're hoping that the two of them have got some other big duets planned.

Ever the collaborative queen, Charli also invited up-and-coming rapper, Cupcakke, on stage with her. The two co-writers and friends slayed renditions of their Number 1 Angel track 'Lipgloss' together and Cupcakke's standout single 'CPR' too. 

i love these girls 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕@CupcakKe_rapper @halsey 💕💕 pic.twitter.com/EJZjkTExkj

Charli has also performed with popstars such as RAYE and Rita Ora this year.

We cannot wait to see who she works with next!
