Charli XCX’s ‘Party 4 U’ Is Randomly Blowing Up on TikTok—Because the Internet Is Weird Like That

Some songs age like fine wine. Others age like that questionable takeout you forgot about in the back of your fridge. But somehow, Charli XCX’s 2017 song “Party 4 U” has done the impossible: It sat in the digital vault for years, collected some metaphorical dust, and now—BAM!—it’s suddenly a whole phenomenon on TikTok in 2025. Because why not?

Now, in case you’re wondering, “Wait, wasn’t that song on her 2020 album how i’m feeling now?”—yes, yes it was. But clearly, the world wasn’t feeling it enough back then, and TikTok has decided it’s HER TIME now.

Why Is This Song Taking Over TikTok Like a Viral Dance Trend Gone Wrong?
Great question! It’s all because of a gloriously dramatic lip-sync moment from RuPaul’s Drag Race\, where queen Coco Montrese went full diva mode, perfectly mouthing every syllable of **Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted”** like her life depended on it. TikTok users saw that and thought, Wait… what if we did this with Charli’s “Party 4 U” to prove our undying loyalty? And BOOM—instant trend.

Charli’s Reaction: A Mix of Shock and Adorable Chaos
When Charli XCX herself saw her old song crawling out of the archives like a zombie with unfinished business, she took to social media and said:

“it’s p crazy that this song is suddenly getting love in this kinda way. i know this song means so much to so many angels. she’s a cutie <3”

Translation: I recorded this SEVEN YEARS AGO, but okay, I guess it’s a thing now??

A Little History on ‘Party 4 U’—Because We Love Some Musical Lore
This track isn’t new. It was actually recorded way back in 2017, during Charli’s Number 1 Angel and Pop 2 eras, meaning it’s been through more transformations than a Pokémon. It got leaked (because of course it did), was played at random events, and finally, after much anticipation, it landed on *how i’m feeling now* in 2020.

And now? It’s the main character of TikTok.

Moral of the story? Never delete your old songs, because one day, the internet might decide they’re iconic.

Now go forth, listen to “Party 4 U,” and dramatically lip-sync for your life.
