Charli XCX Releases New Single ‘360’
Charli XCX released her new single, “360,” off her upcoming album Brat. The star-studded music video for the track features appearances by Julia Fox, Emma Chamberlain, Chloë Sevigny, and more.
Shortly after announcing her “Sweat” tour with fellow artist Troye Sivan, the hyperpop icon revealed “360 – May 10.”
The “Unlock It” singer then shared a snippet of the track in the background of a TikTok video. Onscreen text from the post read, “when ur in the mirror ur just looking at me,” a lyric from the new song. In the fun promotion for the single viewers see Charli XCX flaunt her looks in the mirror.

The pop star further revealed the track in a surprise live performance. On May 2, the “Vroom Vroom” singer cryptically announced, “The lot radio – 7pm. 17 Nassau Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11222.” Fans showed up to Banker’s Anchor, where they found the performer promoting her new album.
The vocalist sang for those in attendance in front of a giant green wall matching the record’s cover art, earning the event the nickname “Brat Wall.” In the caption of a post for the event, the artist declared, “BRAT WALL 4EVER.” One user joked online, “charli threw the first brick at brat wall,” referencing the historic start to the Stonewall riots, where activists fought for LGBTQ+ rights in 1969.
