musicMay 8, 202616178

Charli XCX released the one-minute single "Rock Music" with an accompanying music video. The track foregrounds crunchy, guitar-driven riffs and presents itself as a living tribute to the singer's circle of co-conspirators. At one minute, the song compresses pop structure into an ultra-short statement that updates the guitar-pop energy of her 2014 album Sucker and spotlights a sarcastic, darker lyrical edge, signaling Charli's move to experiment with rock textures and compact song forms.
