They've been teasing all week that they wanna go back to 1999 and we feel like we've jumped right back in a time machine with this song from Charli XCX and Troye Sivan - back to platform sneakers, body glitter, Tamagotchis and boy bands.
1999 is bombastic, kitschy and damn awesome, written with Troye and accompanying writers Noonie Bao, Brett McLaughlin and Oscar Holter. The result is another notch on Charli's track record of concocting fun, party-starting pop with an innovative edge that's miles ahead of many of her peers.

Charli and Troye shout out people like Britney Spears, Michael Jackson and Eminem - or Slim Shady, as we call called him back then - as well as CDs, MTV and living through slumber parties without social media distracting us every five seconds.
Charli's due to play an exclusive Pop2 show in Sydney next month while she's in town on Taylor Swift's arena tour. As is tradition with live mixtape shows, Charli normally calls up a ton of her mates to cameo during the show - hopefully Troye's on her list this time!
