Charli XCX And Rina Sawayama Unite To Reinvent A Club Classic

Joining forces this week, Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama have brought us an exciting dance-pop song, which we think is bound to add joy to your January. Titled ‘Beg For You’, the track reimagines a 2000s club classic in the best way.

Tune into BBCRadio1 today at 6pm UK / 10 AM LA / 1PM NY and listen to it’s premiere with Clara Amfo.

♬ Beg For You (feat. Rina Sawayama) – Charli XCX

This comes as the first collaboration between the two artists, but, it has been months since the song was first teased to fans. Following the tease, both Charli and Rina featured on Lady Gaga’s ‘Dawn Of Chromatica’ album released in September 2021, creating even more of a buzz in the lead up to the release of ‘Beg For You’.

Listening to this song brought back a familiar euphoric feeling, in a similar way to how 2000s club classics had us feeling back in the day. This is due to the sampling of the 2008 hit ‘Cry For You (You’ll Never See Me Again)’ by September, which we think is just genius. Charli and Rina have slightly amended the lyrics of the main hook to fit their song’s agenda, bringing a lustful yet fierce attitude to this club classic. 

The track is accompanied with a sensual video that sees both Rina and Charli rocking silk ivory dresses reminiscent of night gowns. The pair embrace each other whilst the wind floats through their tousled hair and the moon highlights their dewy, glossy makeup.

‘Beg For You’ is set to appear on Charli XCX’s upcoming album ‘Crash’, which is to be released on 18 March via Asylum / Atlantic.
