Overview
- Charli XCX posted the track’s black-and-white video to her @b.sides Instagram on Saturday, and the song is otherwise only on the Rock Music 7-inch with no official streaming release.
- The video was shot in Kyoto with director Aidan Zamiri during a six-week film shoot, showing Charli dancing through hallways and a studio in a lo-fi, single-camera style.
- The minimalist song runs about 1:32 and features lines that toy with queer desire and identity, including “maybe I could be gay, but come on, look at me, I’m probably not” and “maybe we can become each other.”
- The Rock Music 7-inch was sold out on her webstore at press time, with limited copies routed to select record stores in the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.
- The release lands a day after Friday’s ‘Rock Music’ single and has drawn media attention to its sapphic-leaning lyrics and a scarcity strategy that nudges fans to rip audio or hunt for vinyl.
