By the Numbers
Sucker keeps Charli XCX's self-writing pattern intact while widening the room: she co-wrote all thirteen standard tracks, now with bigger pop names like Stargate, Greg Kurstin, and Benny Blanco alongside her usual partner Patrik Berger. The credit lists grow longer, a sign of mainstream pop's collaborative writing sessions, but her pen remains on every song.
Sucker is the second studio album by Charli XCX, released in December 2014 on the back of her breakout year as a hitmaker. After co-writing Icona Pop's 'I Love It' and featuring on Iggy Azalea's 'Fancy,' she pushed into brattier, punk-tinged pop, trading the goth atmosphere of her debut for hooks and attitude. She co-wrote every track, working with a wider set of collaborators including Patrik Berger, the Raisen brothers, and Stargate, while keeping her authorship intact across the record. The single 'Boom Clap,' written for the film The Fault in Our Stars, became her biggest solo hit to that point. The album expanded her audience and set up the genre-bending experiments that followed.
