"Blame It on Your Love" is a song by English singer and songwriter Charli XCX featuring American singer and rapper Lizzo. It was released on 15 May 2019 as the second single from Charli XCX's third studio album, Charli,[5][6] and soon after debuted on BBC Radio 1 as Annie Mac's "Hottest Record in the World".[7] It is Charli XCX's first single since her 2018 collaboration with Troye Sivan, "1999".[8] The single is the original version of the song, "Track 10", released prior to "Blame It on Your Love"'s official release, having been the final and only unnamed track from Charli XCX's mixtape Pop 2 (2017).[9] The music video was released on 13 June 2019.[10]

Background and "Track 10"[]

"Track 10", the final track of Charli XCX's mixtape Pop 2 (2017), is the remixed version of "Blame It on Your Love", which is considered the “original” version despite it being released almost two years after "Track 10".[11] "Track 10" was highly acclaimed upon the release of Pop 2, with Pitchfork placing the song at 92 on its list of the 100 Best Songs of 2018[12] and 85 on its list of the 200 Best Songs of the 2010s.[13]

Promotion[]

Charli XCX tweeted on 13 May 2019 that she had a "bop" with Lizzo, whom she called the "queen of everything", "coming this week".[14] Less than a day later, she confirmed the title and release date, posting a picture of herself with Lizzo, who is holding a sign saying "Bout 2 Save Pop Music".[15] The song was premiered as the "Hottest Record in the World" on BBC Radio 1 on 15 May 2019, with Charli XCX also being interviewed by Annie Mac.[7]
