Charli XCX has dropped her new single titled Rock Music, complete with a black-and-white video. The track features crunchy guitars and marks a shift from her previous dance-focused work.
Charli XCX released the song on May 8, 2026, alongside a video directed by Aidan Zamiri. The clip shows her roaming city streets and smoking next to giant piles of cigarettes. It follows her posting footage of recording sessions at Paris Rue Boyer Studios in October 2025.
