Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), better known by her stage name Charli XCX, is a British singer and songwriter. She released her debut single independently in 2008 and initially performed at warehouse raves in London.

She became widely known through two number one singles, Icona Pop's "I Love It" (2013) and Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" (2014); both of them co-written by Charli XCX, for which she also provided co-lead vocals. Her 2014 single "Boom Clap" from the soundtrack album of The Fault in Our Stars became a top ten single in a number of countries.

She is also known for collaborating with Bubblegum Bass producers SOPHIE and A. G. Cook on Vroom Vroom and Number 1 Angel, playing with the eccentric genre on a mainstream level.

• Genre Throwback: She mixes 80s Synth Pop and 90s girl pop.
• New Sound Album: Vroom Vroom incorporates bubblegum bass to give a dark edge to Chali's usual pop sound.
• Rock Star Song: "Famous".
• Sarcastic Title: True Romance has many post-breakup songs.
• Shout-Out: True Romance is named after the film written by Quentin Tarantino.
• Title Track: "Sucker", "Vroom Vroom".
• A Wild Rapper Appears: In "Lipgloss", Charli XCX sing in her usual style with a trap-inspired pop beat, and then it smashes to a hard trap beat and an aggressive rap from cupcakKe.
• X Makes Anything Cool: "XCX" doesn't really mean anything.
