“SS26” is a new Charli XCX song titled for “Spring summer 2026.” The track reprises a rock-forward direction associated with “Rock Music” and includes satirical commentary on the fashion world, image management, politics, and the apocalypse. Lyrics describe walking on a runway that leads straight to hell and suggest that nothing can save anyone, including music, fashion, or film. The song is built around a subdued, moody bass line. “SS26” is the third release tied to an upcoming album, following “Rock Music” and a vinyl-exclusive B-side titled “I Keep Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night.” Charli is also scheduled to headline major summer festivals including Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits.
"“Spring summer 26 / When the world is gonna end no hope for any of it,” she sings over a subdued, moody bass line. “Yeah we're walking on a runway that goes straight to hell / Nothing's gonna save us, not music, fashion, or film”"
"With the title standing for the lyric “Spring summer 2026,” the song reprises the rock-forward direction as her aptly-titled prior single, “Rock Music” and features satirical commentary on the fashion world, image management, politics, and the apocalypse."
"“SS26” is technically the third offering from Charli's upcoming album, a project she teased in an interview with British Vogue earlier this year. After “Rock Music” came a vinyl-exclusive B-side release titled “I Keep Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night.”"
