Get ready for a summer of "Brat" and Billie, as Charli XCX and Billie Eilish have released a steamy remix of "Guess," sending the internet into a frenzy. The collaboration features a playful, NSFW video directed by Aidan Zamiri, capturing the essence of Charli's suggestive lyrics.
The video opens with a raucous house party, complete with flying underwear, setting the stage for the song's theme of uninhibited fun. As the party reaches its peak, Eilish makes a dramatic entrance, literally crashing the scene on a massive tractor. Her verse adds a sultry twist, responding to Charli's teasing lyrics with a seductive description of her own lingerie.
The visuals then shift to a post-apocalyptic cityscape, littered with discarded underwear. Eilish declares, "Charli likes boys, but she knows I'd hit it," solidifying the playful, flirtatious dynamic between the two pop stars.
But the video isn't just about shock value. In a heartwarming gesture, all the bras and underwear used in the video were donated to I Support the Girls, a non-profit organization supporting those experiencing homelessness.
Eilish's brother and producer, Finneas, expressed his enthusiasm for the project on Instagram Stories, describing the process as "too much fun."
The remix follows Charli's recent teasing campaign on social media, where she shared a photo of herself with another artist's boxers, hinting at a collaboration. This "Guess" remix marks the latest iteration of the "Brat" era, which has taken over social media and inspired numerous memes, even reaching the realm of politics with Vice President Kamala Harris.
Since dropping the lead single, "Von Dutch," Charli has continued to release new versions of the "Brat" tracks, featuring collaborations with Addison Rae, A.G. Cook, Yung Lean, and Robyn.
"Brat" has been praised for its diverse sonic palette, described by Rolling Stone as a "hyperpop roller coaster" that blends post-Saturn return anxieties with a confident, It-girl attitude.
The "Guess" remix is a testament to the power of collaboration in the pop music landscape, showcasing the undeniable chemistry between Charli XCX and Billie Eilish. With its playful energy and provocative themes, the track is sure to continue dominating the charts and social media throughout the summer.
