AceShowbiz - Charli XCX follows up "Break the Rule" with another punk/rock single called "London Queen". Premiered on Rolling Stone on Monday, October 6, the track will also appear on her new album "Sucker" which was supposed to arrive later this month but is now scheduled for December 16 in the U.S. and January 26, 2015 in the U.K.
On the upbeat tune, Charli talks about moving from her hometown of London to Hollywood. "I never thought I'd be living in the U.S.A., doing things the American way/ Never thought I'd be living in the U.S.A., living the dream like a London queen," she sings the chorus.
In a chat with Rolling Stone, Charli described the sound of "London Queen" as "future Ramones." She revealed the song came to her in near-completed form from producer Justin Raisen. "Justin Raisen is one of the most amazing producers around right now, and he's going to blow the f**k up in the next couple of years," she said.
"That's something that I would never usually do, take a song that's basically almost been written for me, but it was a song that Justin made, and I was like, f**k, this song is so good and it feels like it's about me," she added.
