Charli XCX - Rock Music Lyrics

Official

Lyrics

Me and my friends, we go out

We take pictures and make stuff together

And sometimes we cry

We kiss each other, real incestuous vibes

(I knew you'd like that)

Yeah, we're so inspired

Basically all the time

Yeah, we're on to the next

I think the dance floor is dead

So now we're making rock- music

Wow

I'm really banging my head

I'm really hurting my neck

The nerve damage is real

But it's the only way to feel something

Hurt yourself

Yeah, maybe jump off the stage

I hope they catch you today

But if they don't, it's okay

I think the dance floor is dead (it's so dead)

So now we're making rock- music

I'm really banging my head

And now we're making rock-

"Rock Music" is a song by the British singer-songwriter Charli XCX. It was released on 8 May 2026, under exclusive license to Atlantic Records. Charli wrote the track along with its producers A. G. Cook and Finn Keane. A hyperpop song, it will serve as the lead single from her upcoming seventh studio album.

In February 2026, Charli XCX released a companion record for Emerald Fennell's adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which included contributions from John Cale and Sky Ferreira. During that time, she was also participating in multiple film productions, including Daniel Goldhaber's Faces of Death remake, Gregg Araki's I Want Your Sex, and the mockumentary, The Moment, in which she stars. She also released a 7" single for her song "Party 4 U", taken from her fourth studio album, How I'm Feeling Now.

Charli first hinted at the project's direction in an April interview with British Vogue, which previewed the lyric "I think the dance floor is dead, so now we're making rock music." She explained that making another dance-oriented album "would have felt really hard, really sad," and said she was interested in expanding the possibilities of her musical perspective. Charli later clarified on Instagram that she was not making a conventional rock album, sharing a studio clip and describing "Rock Music" as "not actually rock music". She explained that the song originated while she was staying in an apartment above a studio in Paris, and recalled waking up with an idea for the track that amused both her and her collaborators, leading them to create "Rock Music."

Shaad D'Souza of Pitchfork interpreted "Rock Music" as both a playful provocation and a sincere artistic statement, and highlighted its distorted guitar chords and self-aware tone. The author also drew attention to lyrics encouraging risk-taking, such as "Maybe jump off the stage / I hope they catch you today / But if they don't, it's OK". -Wikipedia
