''Charli'' is the third studio album by English singer-songwriter Music/CharliXCX, released through Asylum and Atlantic Records on 13 September 2019. Musically, it builds on the {{Hyperpop}} styles of Charli XCX's previous projects, ''Vroom Vroom'', ''Music/Number1Angel'' and ''Music/Pop2''. Much like the latter two projects, the album is collaboration-heavy, featuring the likes of Music/ChristineAndTheQueens, Music/SkyFerreira, Music/TroyeSivan, Music/{{Lizzo}} and Music/{{HAIM}}, along with previous collaborators Music/KimPetras, Music/{{Cupcakke}} and Music/PablloVittar. The single "1999" (featuring Music/TroyeSivan) was a UK Top 20 hit, peaking at No. 13.

* AloneInACrowd: [[https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_APevn3H5/ As per Charli herself]], "Gone" is about the anxieties and insecurities of being in a large social crowd, feeling isolated and ''wanting'' to be gone from it all.
