The song will arrive with a music video and is expected to lead her next album after Brat and a Wuthering Heights companion project.
- Pop star Charli XCX released her new single, 'Rock Music,' on Friday, serving as the lead offering from her forthcoming eighth studio album with an accompanying music video directed by Aidan Zamiri.

- For the new album, Charli intends the music to feel 'silly and funny' while avoiding 'macho' elements, and she noted she prefers exploring obscure feelings rather than focusing on her husband, musician George Daniel.
