Charli XCX Confirms Star-Studded Brat Remix Album Featuring Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Robyn, Tinashe & More
Brat Summer might be over, but Charli XCX is keeping the heat on with a new era: Brat Fall. The pop provocateur, known for her genre-blurring music and forward-thinking collaborations, has revealed the full tracklist for her upcoming remix album. This follow-up to her wildly successful Brat album promises to deliver even more boundary-pushing sounds, enlisting an all-star cast of musical heavyweights to take the already explosive original tracks to new heights.
Dropping October 11, the Brat Remix album features an impressive lineup of artists from across the music spectrum. Fans can expect contributions from pop royalty like Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, and Robyn, alongside eclectic names like Bon Iver, The 1975, and Yung Lean. Alt-pop darlings Tinashe and Addison Rae also join the mix, with a particularly intriguing collaboration between Charli and The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas.
Remix Revolution: Charli XCX’s Guestlist
Charli’s remix album announcement was anything but ordinary. Over the past few weeks, mysterious billboards featuring the iconic Brat font and electric lime green visuals popped up in major cities around the world. Written backwards, the guest stars’ names teased a guessing game for eagle-eyed fans. Then, during a recent show in Orlando on her Sweat tour with Troye Sivan, Charli took things a step further by casually handing off the tracklist to a fan in the audience, sparking an immediate online frenzy.
However, on Monday morning (Oct. 7), Charli made things official, posting the full remix roster to her socials, including X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. Fans looking for the latest updates can read more about how Charli is reshaping pop with the remix album in this full article.

Grande & Charli: The Anthem of Brat Fall
One of the most anticipated remixes is the collaboration with Ariana Grande, titled “Sympathy Is a Knife.” The duo, both known for their pop maximalism, teased the track on social media a day before the full announcement. Charli shared lyrics from the song, writing, “It’s a knife when they dissect your body on the front page / It’s a knife when they won’t believe you / Why should you explain?” Fans are already buzzing about the song’s dark lyricism, which suggests the remix will dive into intense, introspective themes while maintaining a hyper-pop sheen.
