Release

[edit]

"360" was released on 10 May 2024 as the second single after "Von Dutch" from her sixth studio album, Brat, and fourth single from the album overall following the promotional single release for her songs "Club Classics" and "B2B".[3] Brat was released on 7 June 2024 and "360" appears as its opening track.[4][5]

Composition

[edit]

"360" is an electropop song produced by A.G. Cook. It has minimalistic production and Charli rap-sings on it in a deadpan tone.[6][7] Natalie Zannikos of Elle compared the song's instrumental opening to a ringtone.[8] It runs for two minutes and 14 seconds at 120 beats per minute.[9][10] Its satirical lyrics revolve around Charli's attractiveness, egocentrism, and self-empowerment.[11][12] The song opens with the lyric "I went my own way and I made it/I'm your favorite reference, baby", which Hannah Mylrea of NME detailed as an avowal of Charli XCX's "self-confidence, celebration and the knowledge of the place [she] holds in the musical landscape".[13] Its further lyrics reference Cook, model Gabbriette ("Call me Gabbriette, you're so inspired, ah, ah"), the lead singer of the punk rock band Nasty Cherry, whose formation by Charli XCX was documented in the Netflix docuseries I'm with the Band: Nasty Cherry, and actress Julia Fox ("I'm everywhere, I'm so Julia"), who rose to prominence with a role in the 2019 film Uncut Gems and for her highly publicized relationship with Kanye West.[14][15] In a 2023 interview with Fox, Charli XCX told her that the lyric was "about how you started every trend of 2022".[16] The Daily Beast's Coleman Spilde described the song as a "hot girl hymn".[9]

Reception and impact

[edit]

Jason P. Frank of Vulture and Thom Donovan of American Songwriter both praised "360" as "one of the best pop songs of the year", with Frank calling it "a sonic sugar rush" and Donovan writing that it "may be her best yet".[17][15] Meaghan Garvey, in a positive review of Brat, surmised that "360" was "her best pure pop tune in ages".[18] For The Daily Beast, Coleman Spilde wrote that "360" was "a lyrical masterclass in hotness" and "an intensive on vanity so hyper-focused that it could be taught at the Learning Annex".[9] Elle's Natalie Zannikos called "360" "an absolute electro-pop ear-worm" with a "sort of inescapable catchiness".[8]

The American Heart Association praised the song in September 2024 for being the right tempo at which to perform CPR on someone who has collapsed.[10] The song's lyric "I'm so Julia" also became a popular Internet meme and marketing phrase.[19][16] "360" soundtracked a Marc Jacobs advertisement starring Gabbriette, model Alex Consani, and singer Clairo, among others, in August 2024.[20]

Commercial performance

[edit]

"360" peaked at number 41 on the Billboard Hot 100.[21] "360" also peaked at number ten on Billboard's Pop Airplay chart, making it her first top-ten on the chart since 2014, when her song "Boom Clap" topped the chart.[22] "360" peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Chart and on the Irish Singles Chart.[23] As of October 2024, "360" is Charli XCX's 12th most commercially successful song on the chart.[11]

Music video

[edit]

Synopsis

[edit]

The accompanying satirical music video for "360" begins with a skit in which Charli XCX gets invited by Gabbriette to Skyferrori's Trattoria, a fictional restaurant referencing the username of Twitter user @skyferrori, to perform "360". Upon entering through the back door, she finds a group of models, actresses, and influencers, including Gabbriette, Fox, Rachel Sennott, Chloe Cherry, Salem Mitchell and Richie Shazam, all having dinner in order to pick a "new hot Internet girl" to prevent the extinction of it girls. Charli XCX suggests Fox, to which Sennott replies, "Charli, that's literally Julia Fox," and Charli then picks a waitress, played by Instagram user @randomcontrol, at the restaurant instead.[8] The women start giving instructions to the waitress on how to be a hot Internet girl before Charli XCX turns around and begins performing the song.[9][24]

Between several match cuts, Charli appears in various locations: at a gym, where she pours herself a glass of wine while she vibrates on a vibration plate and is accompanied by Sennott and Fox, who are unenthusiastically lifting weights and taking selfies; in a hospital hallway, where she straddles an old man in a gurney next to Gabbriette and model Alex Consani, both of whom are posing smoking cigarettes and posing next to her; in a photo booth next to actress Hari Nef and influencer Blizzy McGuire; and in the street, where influencers Emma Chamberlain and Quenlin Blackwell apathetically observe a car accident they just caused. Make-up artist Isamaya Ffrench also appears in the video.[25] Toward the end, Chloë Sevigny exits a black convertible and tosses a cigarette into a garbage can, lighting its contents on fire, as she and Charli XCX strut down the street. The video ends with Sevigny, Charli XCX, and several other girls, including Tess McMillan, posing at the end of the street.[8][9] The video also features appearances from Cook,[26] Matisse Andrews, Sakura Bready, Anna Collins, Peri Rosenzweig and Niki Takesh.[3] The video's cast also consists of multiple transgender women, including Nef, Consani, and McGuire.[27]

Matthew Velasco of W described the video cast as "a Mount Rushmore of reining [sic] internet cool girls".[25] Time's Cady Lang wrote that Charli XCX had "summoned an Avengers-level cadre of 'It girls'" for the video, while Thom Waite of Dazed compared the video to a "parallel-universe production of Euphoria or a 2020s it girl twist on Girls".[28][29]

Filming and production

[edit]
Emma Chamberlain
Hari Nef
Rachel Sennott
Chloë Sevigny
The music video for "360" stars a cast of influencers, actresses, and models, including (from left to right) Emma Chamberlain, Hari Nef, Rachel Sennott, and Chloë Sevigny. The cast was picked by Charli XCX based on women she thought "embodied the personality" of the song.

A promotional teaser for the "360" music video was released days prior to its premiere.[30] The music video was directed by Aidan Zamiri and filmed from March 11 to 12, 2024.[7] Charli XCX cast women who she "felt embodied the personality of the record" to star in the video. She described the atmosphere on-set as "silly vibes" with "a lot of TikToks"—many of which were filmed by Charli XCX's photographer, Terrence O'Connor—and "a lot of vaping".[31] Sevigny appeared in it in between filming for the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story after a mutual friend between her and Charli XCX direct messaged her about the song and music video treatment. Despite not being familiar with Charli XCX, she agreed to make a cameo when she found out Sennott, who she was "in love with", would be in it.[32] According to Sevigny, she was instructed by Zamiri to "just act like a brat".[33] Styling was done by Chris Horan, Charli XCX's stylist since 2021. He based each of the girls' looks in the video, including an Yves Saint Laurent jumpsuit worn by Charli XCX], on elevated, "hot and bitchy" versions of their personal style, which he observed on their Instagram accounts.[7] Brands featured in the video include Dion Lee, Knwls, Courrèges, Eytys, Vacquera, and Marni, the last of which was worn by Charli XCX at the 2024 Met Gala.[8]

Critical reception

[edit]

In an opinion piece on Brat for British Vogue, Mahoro Seward wrote in July 2024 that "everything that has unfolded since the first minute of Aidan Zamiri's masterful music video for '360'"—which he likened to "a vignette of what The Last Supper would have looked like if Jesus and his disciples were modern-day It-girls"—"amounts to a watershed moment in pop cultural history".[19] For Pitchfork's review of Brat, Meaghan Garvey wrote that the video "feels heavy-handed but not unearned".[18] The Observer's Kate Mossman wrote that the video "locates [Charli XCX] at the cutting edge of internet culture" and "is almost designed to make people like me [Mossman] feel old".[14] The A.V. Club's Drew Gillis wrote that it was "a pretty standard music video" that "does land one coup with the appearance of Chloë Sevigny".[34]

The music video was nominated at the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Art Direction.[35]

Covers and remixes

[edit]

The closing track of Brat, "365", contains samples of "360".[5] American rapper Aminé released his own remix of "360", titled "360.5" based on the titles of his mixtapes OnePointFive and TwoPointFive and featuring humorous lyrics over the song's original instrumental. It was released in July 2024 with a music video of Aminé on vacation in Ischia.[36] Also that month, British indie rock duo Wet Leg performed a cover of "360" at Truck Festival.[37] For BBC Radio 1, British record producer Tourist performed a piano cover of the song, with elements of the melody from the Artful Dodger song "Movin' Too Fast", for the station's Piano Sessions series in August 2024.[38] On BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge in October 2024, the indie pop band Blossoms performed a jangle pop and new wave cover of "360", which ended with a cover of Stardust's 1998 single "Music Sounds Better with You" performed by Rick Astley.[39][6] An unofficial mashup of "360" with the Fleetwood Mac song "Dreams" was shared online by both Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham and by Charli XCX on her TikTok account.[40]

Lyric video
"360 featuring Robyn and Yung Lean" on YouTube

On 17 February 2023, producer Patrik Berger posted a picture on Instagram from a studio session with Charli and Swedish singer Robyn.[41] When questioned about it on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Charli described the experience of them working together as "amazing" and hinted at the possibility of their collaboration being released before Charli's album Brat.[42] Yung Lean and Charli XCX had been friends prior to releasing the remix and Charli XCX had previously teased a collaboration with Robyn in 2023.[43]

On 31 May 2024, one week before Brat's release, Charli released a remix version of "360" featuring Robyn and Swedish musician Yung Lean.[44] It was included as the opening track of the remix album of Brat, Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat. The remix features braggadocios lyrics from all three artists. Robyn sings about her early start in the music industry ("I started so young, I didn't even have e-mail/Now my lyrics on your booby") and references the success of her 2010 song "Dancing on My Own" ("Killin' this shit since 1994/"Got everybody in the club dancing on their own") and the Clash's album London Calling, while Yung Lean compares himself to "David Beckham in the noughties" in the first verse and quotes Tony Montana in the 1983 film Scarface with the lyric "Who do I trust? Me". Charli XCX also raps that she, Robyn, and Yung Lean are "three child stars out here doing damage" with a "really very special language", as all three began their music careers as teenagers.[12]

Sal Cinquemani of Slant wrote that the remix of "360" "largely wasted" Robyn's contribution to the song and criticized it as "cluttered".[45] Jason P. Frank, for Vulture, picked the original "360" as the better version of the song, adding that Robyn getting less time than Yung Lean was "a little disappointing" considering that "Robyn has been inspiring Charli for years".[17]
