Charli XCX has been ramping up to have a very promising year indeed. She’s shown no signs of slowing down since her latest album release Pop 2 in December, promising “i am going to release a lot of music this year. and a lot of videos. You’re gonna be so f***ing sick of me.” and it looks like she’s staying true to her word.

She’s kept her word, most recently featuring in Rita Ora’s new song ‘Girls’ alongside Cardi B and Bebe Rexha, which just got a fantastic new music video featuring the whole squad.

THE NEW ‘GIRLS’ MUSIC VIDEO IS SOMETHING ELSE (SEE: HOLOGRAPHIC CARDI B) – CHECK IT OUT BELOW:

View the lyrics
Her name is Lara, we learned a lot, ah
How to do it, like we do it, like we wanna
We just know, we just know
I ain't one-sided, I'm open-minded
I'm fifty-fifty and I'm never gonna hide it
You should know, you should know, ayy

All summer, we've been in the 'Bu
'68 Chevy with nothing to do
In the summer haze, kush lovin'
And last night, yeah, we got with the dude
I saw him, he was looking at you
So I said, "Hey", kush lovin'

Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls (yeah)

You know I tamed it, and then I named it
I put the lion in the cage and then I laid with her all night (all night)
Her all night, yeah
I'm the hunter and she the prey, yeah
I'm the thriller, and the killer, and the saviour
Up all night, we up all night, yeah (do it one more time)

All summer, we've been in the 'Bu
'68 Chevy with nothing to do (oh)
In the summer haze, kush lovin'

Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
(Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)
Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
(You know that I do)
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
Mmm, we can go up
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
(Rita, look, Cardi)

Now I could be your lipstick just for one night (one night)
Girls just wanna have fun and have their funds right (yeah)
I mean, say my name, say my name, say my name (say my name)
It tastes good, just rolling off your tongue, right? (hurr)
I put this Mac on your lips, so pucker up (mwah)
We ain't never heard of you 'cause you ain't done enough (no)
And I don't gotta introduce myself (Cardi)
I'm too sexy, I seduce myself (Bardi)
Seven-figure, never need a n- (nope)
I steal your chic, have her down with the scissor
Tonight, I don't want a dog, I want a kitten
I might French a girl from Great Britain

Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls (oh, yeah)
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls (uh, yeah)
Sometimes I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls (red wine, red wine)
Red wine, I just wanna kiss girls, girls, girls
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (down with me, yeah)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (down with me, yeah-eah)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (down with me, yeah)
She likes what she likes (aha)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah (yeah)
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
She gettin' down with me, yeah-eah
Girls, girls, girls, girls, girls

The English singer-songwriter announced that she’s doing 5 releases at 5am each day for 5 days. That’s 5am PST, so for the UK fans you can catch each new release at 1pm, and we’ll be keeping you up to date right here so make sure to check back!

ANGELS!! 5AM IS #THEMAGICHOUR!! FOR 5 DAYS IN A ROW AT 5AM PST I’M GONNA BE DROPPING EXCLUSIVE MUSIC/REMIXES/FUN STUFF FOR YOU GUYS 💕 5AM PST 1PM UK 8AM NY💕 WATCH OUT 💕

— Charli (@charli_xcx) June 11, 2018

In fact, if we rewind a second, she’s already given us plenty to keep our ears entertained this year - in May she debuted her first solo song since Pop 2 called ‘5 in the morning’. This new track just goes to show how she’s kept working hard since her last release – giving us something totally new in the form of a heavy trap banger, not only in the production but also in her singing which takes on a triplet heavy hip-hop flow.

And she didn’t stop there – just the other day she made a reappearance in Tove Lo’s new song and accompanying hilarious music video ‘Bitches’, which also features Icona Pop, Elliphant and ALMA.

Now, she’s giving us MORE. Each day we get a new treat, and many fans are hoping that she'll drop her unreleased teased track 'No Angel', which is potentially from her next album, on one of the days. We’ll be updating this with every new release so make sure to come back each day!

Check out each day of (what we’re calling) the 5 Days of Charli XCXmas below:


DAY 1

SURPRISE! Today, she kicked off the 5 days of treats by giving fans a chance to win tickets to either her upcoming London or Paris shows. To win you have to reply to her tweet with your best 5am party story, and some of them already up are WILD. As of yet she hasn’t given all the tickets away so you still have a chance to get one for yourself!

Here’s some of our top picks so far:

DAY 2 

On the second day of Charli XCXmas our true love gave to us…

💿 #THEMAGICHOUR DROP 2. 5 IN THE MORNING FILES. REMIX THEM. MAKE SOMETHING COOL. CUT THEM UP. DO WHATEVER YOU WANT ANGELS 💿 https://t.co/Q9xi06CLQI

— Charli (@charli_xcx) June 12, 2018

Today, Charli posted a download link to the project files for her track '5 in the Morning', asking fans to remix them, cut them up or just generally "MAKE SOMETHING COOL".  It comes as separate drums, synths and vocal tracks which you're free to use as you please. This one is AMAZING for any aspiring artists themselves - and it's so amazing for an artist as big as Charli to do for her fans.

If you wanna give it a go, or maybe just set your alarm sound to the vocal track of the song, you can find the files linked in her tweet above!

Day 3 

Today under the summery tree, Charli has left fans a brand new gift. The 5 AM photo diary. You can check out lots of exclusive new photos of Charli XCX, her friends including Mø, Tove Lo, Dua Lipa, ALMA, Rita and others you might just recognise - PLUS there's pics of crowds and snaps with fans from touring, so you might be able to find yourself in there!

💿 #THEMAGICHOUR DROP 3. THE 5AM PHOTO DIARY. A COLLECTION OF PHOTOS OF ME AND MY FRIENDS FUCKED UP AT 5AM. I CAN STILL FEEL THE HANGOVER 💿 https://t.co/8acvqRdUbv pic.twitter.com/MfSvorV8aB

— Charli (@charli_xcx) June 13, 2018

They're all exclusive after-party shots - put together in a sort of virtual scrapbook, and it goes to remind us of the truth behind tracks like '5 in the morning', cause it's clear that she fully is living that lifestyle. Check 'em out from the link in her tweet!

Day 4

Another day, another treat from Charli XCX. Today shes delivered an experimental mini mix created by her frequent past collaborator A. G. Cook. It mixes together a few of her tracks and goes from noise and power to smooth melodic segments, it isn't too long and is really worth checking out below!

💿 #THEMAGICHOUR DROP 4. 05:00 05:05 - A MINI MIX BY @AGCOOK404. LISTEN ON MY SOUNDCLOUD PAGE NOW ANGELS 💿 https://t.co/KoUqDdXyHr pic.twitter.com/GgIzDlNVir

Day 5

??? - Find out at 1PM UK time on the 15th June. We're really hoping for something BIG on this last day.

It's been 4 days of Charli XCXmas so far and she'd really be... no angel.. if she didn't release some new music on the last day! 

 

Need more Charli XCX in your life while we wait for the other releases? Well you’re in luck because you can check out Tove Lo’s hilarious new music video for ‘Bitches’ featuring Charli XCX, as well as Icona Pop, Elliphant and Alma RIGHT HERE!
