Cara Delevingne Releases 'Need It' Co-Written by Fiona Apple

Fiona Apple's songwriting credit signals veteran creative support for Delevingne's electronic pop debut.

Overview

  • The single, released Friday, June 26, is billed as the third preview from Delevingne's forthcoming debut album and arrived via Warner Records.
  • Delevingne says she and Fiona Apple wrote the song by swapping Post‑it notes and text messages, and Apple is listed among six credited songwriters.
  • Producer BJ Burton, known for work with Bon Iver and Charli XCX, produced the track, which critics describe as a skittery synthpop 'dance banger' about being used by another person.
  • The release coincides with Delevingne's first headlining tour and follows her festival debut at Primavera Sound, with additional festival dates and sold‑out club shows scheduled later this year.
  • The single deepens Delevingne's shift from modeling and acting to recorded music by pairing high‑profile collaborators with a singles‑first rollout, and the full album still lacks a public title or firm release date.
