Charli XCX is not done bringing the Brat energy. The singer added another song to her new remix album, Brat and It’s Completely Different but Also Still Brat on Monday (Oct. 14), gifting fans with a raunchy, beat crazy collab with Kesha on “Spring Breakers.”

“Ooh, these bitches we tied/ Art is not a competition/ Rating go up when the clothes come off/ But a real b–ch come when the d–k goes up, like/ Ooh these b–ches rip off/ Wish they could be OG, but they not/ We going psycho, we going off/ Yeah, me and Charli, we the party girl gods,” Kesha sing/raps over the song’s insistent, glitchy beat.

The tune was featured on the original version of the expanded version of Brat, though that take did not include Kesha. The revamped song produced by A.G. Cook, EASYFUN and Jon Shave joins the other 35 songs on the Brat remix album — 17 remixes and the original 18 tracks from the expanded Brat album — including collabs with Robyn and Yung Lean, Ariana Grande, Troye Sivan, Lorde, Tinashe, Bon Iver, the Strokes’ Julian Casablancas and Billie Eilish.

In a recent interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Charli revealed that the iconic blurry artwork on the original Brat cover was both an aesthetic choice, but also a low key (anti) commercial one. “Where the actual first idea of doing a text cover came from was to save money,” Charli said. “I was like, ‘This album is not going to appeal to a lot of people.’” So instead of doing an elaborate cover shoot, Charli opted to make the most basic cover she could, never imagining it would become instantly iconic and influential.
