Charli XCX has become a trendsetter this summer with her album Brat , which has everyone on their feet. The 31-year-old singer has celebrities like Glen Powell , Anthony Ramos , Alix Earle , and John Summit joining in on the viral dance to her song “Apple.” The lyrics are: “I think the apple’s rotten right to the core From all the things passed down From all the apples coming before I split the apple down symmetrical lines And what I find is kinda scary” A post shared by Charli (@charli_xcx) First, it was ‘Hot Girl summer,’ now ‘Brat summer’ is in! This era is about being free, being yourself, and, of course, being a little edgy.
The “Boom Clap” singer revealed during an interview with Nick Grimshaw , “It [brat summer] can go that way, like, quite luxury, but it can also be so, like, trashy. Just, like, a pack of cigs, and, like, a Bic lighter, and, like, a strappy white top. With no bra.
That’s, like, kind of all you need.” The album, designed with a green gradient aesthetic, has quickly become the album for everyone– including Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris , whose team used the Brat theme for her presidential campaign. This single from her album became a hit trend when TikTok creator Kelley Heyer made up a dance to the track.
In her month- anniversary video on the social app, she expressed, “1 month ago I made a dance on a whim and now look at everyone dancing along and having so much fun!! Thank you @CharliXCX for this amazing song and iconic album and for BRAT SUMMER.” Replying to @asa can you tell I’m the planner in my friend group 🫡🍏 OUTFIT DETAILS Top-Vintage Texsheen babydoll peignoir set from Ebay Bra-@Youswim Earrings-@Airik ✮ Pants-Old lulu gym shorts Socks-Forget Shoes-Feners #charlixcx #brat #apple ♬ Apple – Charli xcx First, head over to the TikTok app to learn the trending dance from creator, Kelley Heyer.
