The 1975’s Matty Healy mentioned collaborating with Charlie XCX back in August 2019, when he tweeted at the time: “Sent her a beat at like 5pm yesterday” – Healy’s tweet began, “and woke up this morning to a HIT. A MONSTER TUNE!!” Then he added: “I’m prolific but she’s on some shit @charli_xcx”
Speaking to NME that year she said: “We sent some ideas back and forth, and I’m such a fan of him [Matty] and the band. They just get it, and they don’t get it at the same time, which I think is the best way to make music. And I think he’s such a smart lyricist, it’s just very smart and also fun, and I feel like they really love pop music. And I love that, and I’m so inspired by that energy and that uniqueness. So yeah, I don’t know what’s going on. But I really admire their song writing, so hopefully something will come of it.”
It finally happened. Further information about the track had been shared today (1st March) by Matty Healy and the Dirty Hit Label. They disclosed the title, release date and interesting cover of new single – “Spinning” that will come out on the 4th March:
