Britpop icons Charli XCX and Sam Smith have united with their single ‘In The City’. The track is a vibey, queer club-ready banger and we are here for it.
The single is an ode to the queer community and the relationships you form with your chosen family. Charli explained in a press release: “The song is about finding the people you truly love and connect with through wild nights out and partying in magical places. “It’s about feeling accepted, the magnificence of being welcomed into queer spaces and those once in a lifetime people you get to meet when you’re there.” Sam added: “Charli is a force and getting creative with her is so much fun.
This track is about freedom and those unforgettable nights of abandon. I loved every minute we spent together making it.” The single was co-produced by Charli XCX, Ilya, PC Music founder A.G.
Cook, Omer Fedi and the 1975’s George Daniel. This is the first time that the pair have collaborated and released a joint single – it’s ludicrous that we have not been fortunate enough to be gifted with this musical collaboration until now.
