Charlie XCX Music Career Beginning
Charli made her debut as a singer in 2008, when she released the singles Franchesckaar! “, Emelline “, and Art Bitch under the Orgy Music label. She relocates to London two years later and signs a contract with Asylum Records. That same year, she began her studies at University College London’s Slade School of Fine Art. She dropped out of college in her second year.
A year after signing the contract, she appears on the single “End of the World,” which she co-wrote with Alex Metric. This was followed by her first solo singles “Nuclear Seasons” and “Stay “Away,” both of which appeared on Pitchfork’s list of the Top Songs of 2011.
The following year, Charli would capture the public’s attention with “I Love It,” a song she co-wrote with the pop duo Icona Pop. She released the EP “You’re the One” (2012) and the mixtape “Heartbreaks and Earthquakes” the same year (2012).

Charli, best known for her hit with Icona Pop, made her debut in 2013 with the hit album “True Romance.” This resulted in the singles “You (Ha Ha Ha)” and “What I Like,” as well as the previously released “Stay Away,” “Nuclear Seasons,” and “You’re the One.” The album debuted at number 85 on the UK Billboard Chart, as well as number 11 on the US Heatseekers Albums and the Australian Hitseekers Albums.
A few months later, she would release “Just Desserts” with Marina and the Diamonds, and in 2014, she would achieve fame with “Fancy,” a single co-written with Australian singer Iggy Azalea; the song topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it the first work by Charli and Azalea to do so.
Charli would write songs for other artists in the months that followed, while still working on her new album. Among others, she co-wrote Iggy’s “Beg for it,” Ryn Weaver’s “OctaHate,” Buckcherry’s “Say F – k It,” and Bella Thorne’s “Boyfriend Material.”
Shortly before the release of “Sucker” (2014), she released “Boom Clap,” a theme from the soundtrack of the film The Fault in Our Stars, starring Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort. Aside from “Boom Clap,” “Sucker” would include several hits, including “Break The Rules,” “Doing It,” and “Famous.”

That same year, she became a trend again with her single “Boys,” for which she starred alongside artists such as Joe Jonas, Brendon Urie, and Charlie Puth, as well as other models and Internet personalities. Charli decided to cancel the release of her third album shortly after, owing to the leak of several tracks.
