Charli XCX has shared her new remix of ‘Spring Breakers’ with Kesha, following the release of ‘Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat’.
The new remix of the song – which appeared as one of the three bonus tracks on XCX’s ‘Brat’ deluxe album ‘Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not’ – was teased yesterday (October 13) via a Brat green billboard on the side of a truck
“(Ayy) Ooh, these bitches rip off / (Ayy) Wish they could be OG, but they not / (Ayy) We going psycho, we going off / (Ayy) Yeah, me and Charli, we the party girl gods,” sings Kesha during the song’s first verse, referring to both of their careers and how they both come from party girl backgrounds.

In a five-star review of ‘Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat’, NME shared that the LP “is a home run for its creator, letting her finish the game on her own terms. She has perfected the art of remixing, keeping the songs moving by giving them a brand new lease of life rather than letting them exist statically in their original form.”
It continues: “Although, to her, her career “feels small in the existential scheme of it all”, as she laments in ‘I Think About It All The Time’, the bottom line is that, with her sparkling CV, she’s more than earned the high praise this album and the world around it have brought her.”
Previously speaking about her decision to create the remix album at her listening party at the Storm King Art Center in Upstate, NY, XCX said: “One of the reasons I wanted to do this project was because I feel like it is really cool to show the infinite possibilities of dance music and music in general.
“It’s like to me, when a song comes out when you make a song, there’s still so many different versions of that song that could be made using just a tiny element of production from the original or a tiny reference to a lyrical concept or a literal lyric. I just feel it could all be completely deconstructed and then put back together again you know? like why not?”
