Charli XCX<\/a>\u2019s management team has clarified comments by Sky Ferreira<\/a> insinuating that her old demos feature more prominently on Wuthering Heights<\/em><\/a> than the album credits suggest, Billboard<\/em> reports<\/a>. The statement from Charli\u2019s management acknowledges that a \u201csmall number of tracks from the album\u201d include \u201cfragments of material originating from earlier sessions,\u201d\u00a0but that all use was \u201cagreed collectively in writing\u201d and formally approved ahead of release. In the midst of all this, Ferreira revealed that she has finally signed a new label deal after exiting<\/a> Capitol in 2024.<\/p>\n The statement from Charli\u2019s management team, which you can read in full below, pours cold water on a narrative that has snowballed in recent weeks, after Ferreira responded to memes<\/a> joking that Charli had dragged her into the studio to work on their one credited Wuthering Heights<\/em> duet, \u201cEyes of the World<\/a>.\u201d \u201cTo record my old songs******,\u201d Ferreira responded at the time, without further context. Ferreira has become more active on Instagram in recent days, commenting on speculation about her connection to other Wuthering Heights<\/em> songs, as well as Stereogum<\/a>\u2019s story about the claims.<\/p>\n After tracking down the Instagram page of a fan who had been posting on X about her, Ferreira wrote<\/a> a series of comments, one of which claimed, \u201cI hate to break it to you, but your favorite artist records my old songs.\u201d The fan had also screenshotted an SMS exchange with a person identified as an industry insider, who provided examples of fragments from Ferreira demos that allegedly appear on Wuthering Heights<\/em>. Ferreira seemed to query the specifics without disputing the broader idea. \u201cYour industry \u2018insider\u2019 is wrong,\u201d Ferreira wrote. \u201cClose but wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n Ferreira wrote in another comment that her deal with Capitol had \u201cmade it impossible for [her] to do anything, including work outside of music, for over 10 years.\u201d (Her only song since 2022, \u201cLeash<\/a>,\u201d appeared on the Babygirl<\/em> soundtrack in 2024.) The terms of her split<\/a> from the label, she added, were not finalized until \u201cmid\/late 2024,\u201d at which point she was on tour, hence the delay in releasing new music. \u201cI signed to a new label in 2025,\u201d she then revealed. \u201cI started completely over songwriting wise. I don\u2019t own my previous recordings so I\u2019m re-recording a few songs.\u201d She concluded, \u201cmy music & life exist offline.\u201d<\/p>\n
