Charli XCX and Billie Eilish have finally teamed up, and fans couldn’t be more thrilled! After teasing a mysterious collaboration earlier in the week, Charli XCX, the 31-year-old pop sensation known for her edgy and experimental style, has officially dropped a remix of her track “Brat” featuring none other than Billie Eilish. The song, now titled “Guess,” debuted alongside a visually striking music video on Thursday (August 1).
Fans were quick to guess that the 22-year-old “Birds of a Feather” singer would be the featured artist after Charli hinted at a collaboration, and they were right on the money. The track is a playful and flirty exchange between the two artists, with Billie delivering the cheeky line, “Charli likes boys but she knows I’d hit it,” which has already become a fan-favorite lyric.
This collaboration has been a long time in the making. Charli XCX has openly admired Billie Eilish for years, and the two have been trying to find the perfect project to work on together. Back in 2017, Charli tweeted about her desire to collaborate with Billie, saying, “i was speaking with Billie eillish [sic] about doing something. But we just couldn’t find the right song. I absolutely love her. She’s sooooo f-cking intelligent and her voice makes me melt 🔥.” Fast forward to 2024, and it looks like they finally found the perfect match with “Guess.”
The music video for “Guess” is as bold and creative as the song itself. It features Charli and Billie climbing a giant mountain of bras and panties, adding a quirky and rebellious touch that aligns with their unique aesthetics. The video’s ending is not just visually impactful, but it also carries a meaningful message. A note at the end of the video reads, “All unworn undergarments will be donated to survivors of domestic violence through I Support The Girls.” This gesture adds a layer of social consciousness to the project, demonstrating that Charli and Billie are using their platform to support important causes.
The collaboration between these two powerhouse artists is not just a musical treat, but it’s also a testament to their mutual respect and admiration. Fans have been eagerly waiting for this partnership, and the result has not disappointed. With Charli XCX’s innovative pop sensibilities and Billie Eilish’s hauntingly beautiful vocals, “Guess” is a track that is sure to resonate with listeners and make waves across the music industry.
Check out the lyrics below:
[Intro: Charli xcx]
Hey, Billie, you there?
Uh-uh
[Verse 1: Charli xcx]
You wanna guess the color of my underwear
You wanna know what I got goin’ on down there
Is it pretty in pink or all see-through?
Is it showin’ off my brand-new lower-back tattoo?
You wanna put ’em in your mouth, pull ’em all down south
You wanna turn this shit out, that’s what I’m talkin’ about
Pu-pu-pu-put ’em in your mouth, pull ’em all down south
You wanna turn this shit out, that’s what l’m talkin’ about (Yeah)
[Chorus: Charli xcx]
Try it, bite it, lick it, spit it
Pull it to the side and get all up in it
Wear ’em, post ’em, might remix it
Send ’em to The Dare, yeah, I think he’s with it
Try it, bite it, lick it, spit it
Pull it to the side and get all up in it
Wear ’em, post ’em, might remix it
Eat it up for lunch, yeah, it’s so delicious
(Work it out)
[Verse 2: Billie Eilish]
Don’t have to guess the color of your underwear
Already know what you’ve got goin’ on down there
It’s that lacy black pair with the little bows
The ones I picked out for you in Tokyo
I saw them when you sat down, they were peekin’ out
I’m gonna tell you right now, they’re all I’m thinkin’ about
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
I wanna try it, bite it, lick it, spit it
Pull it to the side and get all up in it
Kiss it, bite it, can I fit it?
Charli likes boys, but she knows I’d hit it
(Knows I’d hit it)
Charli, call me if you’re with it
[Bridge: Charli xcx, Billie Eilish, Charli xcx & Billie Eilish]
Yeah, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess
Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess
Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess
Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess
[Outro: Charli xcx, Billie Eilish, Charli xcx & Billie Eilish]
You wanna guess what me and Billie have been textin’ about? (You’ve been disrespectful)
Still tryin’ to guess the password to my Google Drive (Are you obsessed with me?)
You wanna guess the address of the party we’re at (You really are not invited)
You wanna guess if we’re serious about this song
