"Von Dutch" (stylised in sentence case) is a song by English singer Charli XCX. It was released on 29 February 2024 through Atlantic Records. It serves as the lead single to her upcoming sixth studio album Brat.[1][2][3][4]
Background and composition
Charli teased the song on her social media pages before making videos on TikTok featuring a 20-second snippet of the chorus.[5] One of these videos featured American singer Addison Rae, whom Charli collaborated with on her 2023 track "2 Die 4".[6]
The song was produced by Easyfun, who produced "Speed Drive" for Charli and worked on several tracks from her 2017 mixtape Pop 2. It is a throwback to Charli's teens, when she was on MySpace and "first began thinking [her] taste was cool". It was written about embracing being an object of gossip or obsession,[1] and features Charli "sing-chanting over a blaring synth-anchored electropop beat".[7]
Critical reception
Ahead of its release, The Face's Shaad D'Souza called the single a "perfect introduction to her acidic, freewheeling new mode ... the song plays like bravura tweets fired off after a glass of champagne".[1] Pitchfork named it the "Best New Track", with Anna Gaca describing it as "made of helium and hydraulics, ... with its heart in the club and its ass on a Harley ... another chapter in the singer-producer's gleeful participatory parody of celebrity culture".[8] Gio Santiago of Resident Advisor gave the track an "RA Recommends" stamp, noting "'Von Dutch' is a true and chaotic return to form ... a supercharged blast of dance pop, club and electroclash".[9] Billboard's Kyle Denis characterized the song as "delightfully rambunctious".[7]
Music video
The music video, directed by Torso and shot in France at Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport, is depicted from the point of view of a paparazzo chasing Charli through the airport and through an Airbus A380. She pushes the cameraman down the plane stairs, fights him inside the cabin, and then jumps off the plane's wing into a baggage cart. The video ends with Charli lying on a luggage conveyer belt, staring deeply into the camera.[1][10][11][2]

On 22 March 2024, XCX released a remix which featured additional vocal contributions from Rae and updated production from English producer and XCX's longtime collaborator A. G. Cook. The remix marked the second time XCX and Rae have collaborated, after "2 Die 4".[12][13] Tyler Damara Kelly of The Line of Best Fit described Cook's production as "idiosyncratic",[14] while Uproxx's Flisadam Pointer described the remix as "sweat-inducing" "fuzz frenzy of Charli's best electronic and pop sensibilities riddled with nostalgic references".[15]Following it’s release, the remix gained lots of traction across TikTok, notably for Rae’s adlibbed scream, and further increased in streams.
