Sep 29, 2017 By Christopher Roberts Charli XCX

Back in July Charli XCX shared a catchy as hell brand new song, “Boys,” via a video she self-directed (with Sarah McColgan). In keeping with the song’s title, the video featured a bunch of well-known “boys” and the video has passed 48 million views already. Last night she stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to perform the song. Charli was dressed in black and behind her were various men in white shirts and shorts, sitting on risers, at first still as statues, but then dancing. Watch it below. There’s been no word on Charli’s third album, but when introducing her Fallon said her new album was due out next year.

The “boys” in the “Boys” video included Vampire Weekend‘s Ezra Koenig, Mac DeMarco, Mark Ronson, Diplo, Rostam, Chromeo, Flume, Portugal. The Man, Jack Antonoff, Wiz Khalifa, D.R.A.M., Kaytranada, Stormzy, Riz Ahmed and Swet Shop Boys, Ty Dolla $ign, Joey Bada$, Charlie Puth, Khalid, Joe Jonas, Carl Barât (The Libertines), Theo Hutchcraft (Hurts), Dan Smith (Bastille), and others. Charli XCX also shared an acoustic version of “Boys.”

Charli XCX released a new mixtape, Number 1 Angel, back in March and her last full-length was 2014’s Sucker.
