She confirmed it here https://ew.com/music/2019/09/13/charli-xcx-charli-interview/

So was the 2018 version rewritten hence the new title? And was it a contender for the monthly singles or from a separate time?

@@BloomForYou Is there any other info (such as titles) you could share about the 2018 monthly singles? I find it fascinating how many changed plans there were in such a short amount of time and for a release strategy that was intended to be rather relaxed lol. Supposedly... White Mercedes was planned as the first monthly drop, a version of Glow was ready for release around that time, I believe you mentioned that Taxi was considered (I could be wrong) and also Blame It On Your Love was definitely considered too! Not to mention that the drops were apparently supposed to start like a month earlier and probably were intended to carry on a little longer too, before Troye was added to 1999.

(Random thought since we’re talking about the draft tracklist) Not that I’m necessarily questioning its legitimacy, but the only thing that was always confusing to me about the supposed XCX World draft is that it’s dated December 2016, but by at LEAST November 2016 (the Exchange show), she already knew that Taxi wouldn’t be on the album. So why would it be on a tracklist from December if she decided a month before (or possibly longer) that it wouldn’t be on the album?

Theme Park, Bel Air, Shut Up, Do It Like We’re Doing It, Like This and Not In Love were all registered together before Sucker (I don’t remember if they were registered in 2013 or 2014 tho).

I think DPOYH is the only confirmed outtake, really. I believe all the other leaks (including the ones you mentioned) are just various sessions she did before solidifying a group of songs that would become Era 1 (w/ Dr. Luke's involvement...)

Do we know anything about Dancing In The Dark?

Thanks so much for the song! Is it true it was also pitched to Carly Rae or something? (No one drag me, I think someone said that once lmao)

Video could be for the Brooke collab? Or did they shoot that already?

@@Waterfall it’s Sucker era, from the same sessions as Doing It, Shut Up, Theme Park, etc. Probably 2014

I think MM might’ve teased a third demo for both Glow and BIOYL as well.

None... just want a place to put 100.

Soooo anyone want to make a Charli Side B cover using the other pics from the photoshoot? With matching font and whatnot?

Yeah you’re right but I Got It was repurposed for Pop 2 and that’s when Umru and the features were brought in. I’m guessing the same thing happened with Party Party; at the time of making that album in a day with AG, she said all of those songs only existed as very very early and rough sketches. I’m so excited we get to hear a third song from that album!

We don’t have the studio version but I imagine Party Party was probably done for Pop 2? (I don’t know for sure.) Also, diplo (the user here, lol) once mentioned that she wanted BIOYL to open Pop 2 and Track 10 to close it, so you could consider the BIOYL demos as Pop 2 outtakes if you wanted to lol.

Does anyone know where Guardian originally leaked? Just curious since I’m assuming the Vimeo wasn’t the original leak but I also don’t know if that 320kbps DL a few pages back is real HQ. - - - Also, do any of you have Masochism cover arts using the Playboy shoot? Even just a nice simple square crop of one of the pictures lol?

They’re the same thing; it will be mostly remixes and just a few new songs. One of the songs being remixed is so sad so sexy, she was working on a version that seems like it will have a lot of vocoder! There were also alternate versions of deep end, two nights and jaguars in the air back when the original album was released, so maybe she’ll do something with those this time around. Especially since she said the remixed songs will be danceable, it would be a good opportunity to release the version of two nights that had more of Skrillex’s EDM touch (and they were in the studio together a week or two ago).

It was considered for release both last summer and the summer before but we didn’t really know anything about it now. Does it feature anyone at the moment?

Oh, really? It did seem like it had the same “punch” to the beat + vocal style that PTB has. Thanks though!

Was Blow Your Mind a reworked song as well or was it originally made with Sophie? And was it one of the pitched songs to LM? Do we (as in the rest of us) know of any of the other songs that were pitched to them from that time?

Do any of you guys have any cover arts using the other shots from XCX World? I need a b-sides cover!

I believe it’s a different song because she was in the studio with Kid Harpoon, not Mark Ronson, and I don’t think she would post so much of Mark’s song. I think it might be called ‘Neon’ or something but yeah it sounds great!

Permission is an outtake from So Good that was leaked haha. ‘I Would Like’ took its place on the album. The next single is called ‘Don’t Worry About Me’ and it’s co-written by Tove Lo. Here’s a live video if you wanna hear: https://youtu.be/EnDjKTAulaI

Here's 320kbps from her site. https://picosong.com/wg6fM/
