Data Insight

Brat returns Charli XCX to her tightest writing circle: A. G. Cook and Finn Keane recur as her main co-writers and producers, with Jon Shave a frequent third, and she takes a production credit herself under the XCX name on several tracks. The smaller, recurring credit lists mark a contrast with the crowded sessions of Crash, framing Brat as her most controlled and personal authorship statement.

Brat is the sixth studio album by Charli XCX, released in June 2024 and the record that turned her into a mainstream and cultural phenomenon. Returning to the club-focused, abrasive dance-pop of her PC Music roots, she reunited with A. G. Cook and Finn Keane for a confessional, party-and-anxiety album that became a global talking point, spawning the lime-green 'brat' aesthetic that defined the summer. She co-wrote every track, sharing tight credits with her core producers, and the album drew some of the strongest reviews of her career. It topped charts worldwide, earned multiple Grammy nominations and wins, and its remix companion extended its reach with high-profile guests. Brat marked both her commercial peak and a vindication of her long-held experimental instincts.
