If You’re Too Busy

As much as it pains us to admit it… “Brat Summer” is over, babes. 💔 Charli XCX said so herself at her Coachella Weekend 2 performance, where she ended the night by displaying “maybe it’s time for a different kind of summer?” on the screen behind her and then listed some badass women (and men) in music who are poised to take her place. 👏 Much like Megan Thee Stallion’s original “Hot Girl Summer” of 2019, “Pop Girl Summer” is ready for its next evolution.

While we will continue bumping that to “360” for the foreseeable future 💅, Charli’s statement did get us very excited for all the hot new pop girl music that’s coming our way, and oh, there is so. damn. much. to look forward to. 💃 

To keep you in the loop, we’ve rounded up the 2025 pop girlies you need to be paying attention to right now (if you aren’t already) so that when their song goes viral later this summer, you can say, “Oh, that? I’ve been listening to it for ages!” 😉
