Charli XCX's team addresses Sky Ferreira's uncredited contribution claims, stating all album credits were formally approved.

AceShowbiz - Charli XCX’s team has responded to recent suggestions by Sky Ferreira regarding uncredited contributions to Charli’s Wuthering Heights soundtrack album.

Ferreira is officially credited as a writer and vocalist on one track, “Eyes of the World.” However, an exchange on social media from a fan account implied that she had made additional, unrecognized contributions to other songs on the album. In response, Charli XCX’s representatives issued a statement to Billboard, emphasizing that all proper crediting procedures were followed and that “all credits were finalized and formally approved by the appropriate parties prior to the album’s release.”

The controversy began with a post from the fan account @skyferrori, which has a significant following and was even referenced as an Easter egg in Charli XCX’s “360” music video. The account’s comment questioned how Ferreira — who has not released an album since her 2013 debut — makes her income. Ferreira replied on Instagram, stating, “I toured for years. I work. I hate to break it to you, but your favorite artist records my old songs. I hope that answers your question.”

Following this, the fan account claimed to have contacted an “industry insider” who alleged that the intro to Charli’s track “Chains of Love” was taken from an old Ferreira demo titled “Ancient Idols.” The insider also claimed that the song “Alters” was based on another Ferreira demo from 2015. A screenshot of this conversation was shared but later deleted by the fan account.

On Instagram, Ferreira addressed the insider’s claims, saying they were “Close but wrong.” She declined to give further details but added, “It was definitely more than an intro. I have proof of everything with dates. It isn’t worth the trouble bc I know how the world works.”

In another comment, Ferreira expressed her reluctance to continue the dispute, saying, “I wasn’t going to say anything. I’m over being dragged & humiliated for no reason. It brought back a lot of things I have worked really hard to move past.... I don’t want the actions of multiple people fucking things up for me & my album. I’m an honest person. People don’t care about the truth. It’s about whatever narrative is fitting or more exciting. I’m glad I can finally move on with my life.”

Meanwhile, Charli XCX’s team reiterated their commitment to fair and appropriate crediting, highlighting that Charli values her collaborators deeply and has a long history of working as a songwriter for other artists. Their statement emphasized that she “always shares credits fairly and appropriately.”

This exchange has generated significant interest among fans and industry watchers, illustrating the complexities of music credits and collaboration in today’s industry. The situation remains delicate as both artists navigate the public conversation.

Despite the tension, Ferreira seems intent on moving forward, underscoring her desire to focus on her own work and avoid further conflict related to the album’s credits.
