THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Charli XCX is still working on her third album, and Camila Cabello has a hand in it.

The 'Roll With Me' singer is dropping a new mixtape, POP 2, on Friday - her second this year - but confirmed to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 that her new album is still very much on the cards.

It's safe to say that Charli is always making music as she is one of the most in-demand writers and producers, though we're ecstatic to hear her talk about her third LP.

View the lyrics
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 one 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 was 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
I was busy dreamin' 'bout boys (Boys)
Boys (Oh, baby), boys (Yeah)
Head is spinnin' thinkin' 'bout boys

She confirmed the news when speaking about Camila Cabello, who she says she will write with for the album.

"We’re gonna do stuff for my record, with her writing with me. I’m just such a fan," she said, before revealing what song she thinks will be on Camila, Cabello's debut album.

“I think there’s a song 'Scar Tissue' that is gonna be on [Camila]. She’s mentioned that a couple of times. I’m never sure until any of the albums are out but I mean I really love that song.”

Ah, we sure hope so too!

The two stars first worked together on Camila's one-off single 'OMG' that was released earlier this year, and remains one of our favourite songs of the year.

While we might have to wait a while, at least we have POP 2 to look forward to this Friday, featuring CupcakKe, Carly Rae Jepsen and many more!

If 'Unlock It' and 'Out of my Head' are anything to go by, it's going to be another immaculate collection of electro-rave-pop from Miss XCX.

Bring. It. On. Camila XCX for the win! Or is it Charli Cabello? Either way, we're obsessed with these two.
