#CHARLI XCX AFTER THE AFTERPARTY DRIVERS#
Charli XCX said the song is about "partying through eternity, into the afterlife and forever after! Everyone's invited – Lil Yachty, all the angels everybody in the entire world," she added, "just bring some champagne, though."Īilbhe Malone of The Irish Times called the song "a turned-up banger, similar to "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus", but also claiming that it had a "layer of modernist gloss" due to the input of SOPHIE. Laura Snapes of Pitchfork described the song's "neon nihilism and aggressive self-possession are the drivers of Charli’s career rather than its destructors" and commented on Charli's vocals at the end of track beginning to "slip and stutter". In the track she sings about partying all day, every day, and gives a shout-out to fellow party girl Rihanna. I just wanted to make the most party, pop, powerful party jam ever, so I went for that." Theme She told : "It was just the conclusion to my 'research,' let's call it, into making a party record. This was the last song that Charli wrote for her scrapped third studio album - it followed a couple months of heavy partying. I love the way that he raps but I also love the way that he presents himself in his videos and that he's this creative force."Ĭharli previously teased the song on Twitter using a string of emojis. "We're not in a time where rappers are all about having the best all time flow, or that old school flow. "It annoys me when people are like, 'Oh he can't rap,'" she said of the Atlanta rhymer to Beats 1's Zane Lowe. The collaboration came about after Charli XCX contacted Lil Yachty via Twitter DM, and learned that he was a fan of her previous album, 2014's Sucker.
The goal of the song for Charli was making the "biggest, boldest and loudest pop song ever". She then went back into the studio and wrote the song with some friends. In an interview for iHeart Radio, XCX said that the inspiration for the song when she was at "two months of solid partying" and thought that she should "chill" now.
