"Co-produced by A.G. Cook, the song is guitar-forward but processed through lots of glitchy digital filters and dirty production. And it turns out that quote to British Vogue - "I think the dance floor is dead / So now we're making rock music" - is actually the chorus of the song. "I'm really banging my head," Charli sings. "I'm really hurting my neck / The nerve damage is real / but it's the only way to feel something / hurt yourself / jump off the stage / I hope they catch you today / But if they don't it's okay.""
"The video for "Rock Music," directed by Aidan Zamiri, features mosh pits, stage diving, Times Square, grimy apartments, and lots and lots and lots of cigarettes. Watch below. Charli XCX has festival dates lined up this year, including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and ACL. All dates are below."
“Rock Music” is a Charli XCX single that frames rock music as her own style. The track is co-produced by A.G. Cook and centers on guitars while using glitchy digital filters and dirty production. The chorus includes the line about the dance floor being dead and turning to rock music. The lyrics describe headbanging, neck pain, and nerve damage, presenting self-harm as a way to feel something, with imagery of jumping off the stage. The video, directed by Aidan Zamiri, shows mosh pits, stage diving, Times Square, grimy apartments, and heavy cigarette use. Festival dates are scheduled for 2025, including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Reading Festival, Leeds Festival, and Austin City Limits.
