After teasing celebrations around the fifth anniversary of How I’m Feeling Now, Charli XCX has delivered a belated video for “Party 4 U” from the record. The video, directed by Mitch Ryan from an idea by Charli, depicts her embarking on a chaotic day out in the aftermath of a house party, culminating in her setting a Charli XCX billboard ablaze. Check it out below.
In making the 2020 album, Charli XCX wrote in a note yesterday, “I felt like I rediscovered myself, my sanity + my sense of connection with the world, at a time where we were all so alone. To create with all of you helped me feel OK.”
She continued, “It was all of us at our most raw, our most stripped, our most vulnerable. I will never forget it, and I really can’t believe that 5 years later one of the Angel favorites is having its own special moment.” She has also released a limited-edition, clear glitter vinyl of How I’m Feeling Now
The video is Charli XCX’s first release not to be tethered to Brat since the blockbuster album’s release last June. She has, however, been active in various other pursuits, including a handful of film endeavors and a Saturday Night Live appearance. Read about her Coachella show in Paul A. Thompson’s “The Best and Worst of Coachella 2025.”
