## Summary

Charli XCX has "begrudgingly" put three previously exclusive B-side tracks onto iTunes, having earlier insisted the songs would never appear on digital platforms. The tracks were added on Sunday 26 July as part of a digital deluxe edition of her latest album, "Music, Fashion, Film", with the singer telling fans "you can call me a hypocrite, I don't mind" after fan demand persuaded her to change course, despite feeling the move ran against the songs' "ethos".

The three songs — "I Keep On Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night", "Playboy Bunny" and "If You Take the Music Then What Has She Got?" — had previously been available only on limited-edition 7" vinyl singles for "Rock Music", "SS26" and "Camera", a physical box set, and via her Instagram side-account @b.sides. The parent album "Music, Fashion, Film" arrived on Friday 24 July with an accompanying short film, marking Charli's first conventional studio album since 2024's "Brat"; she next headlines Lollapalooza in Chicago on 31 July, before debuting as a Reading & Leeds headliner in August and launching a North American arena tour with Underscores in Philadelphia on 11 September.
