Charli XCX releases new song “Chains Of Love” and announces upcoming album ‘Wuthering Heights’
Charli XCX has unveiled a new track just in time for Valentine’s Day, and it’s clear that she’s diving headfirst into the realm of romance.

The chorus of “Chains Of Love” showcases Charli’s emotive vocals as she croons, “Shattering like glass / Yes, they’re breaking up my heart / The chains of love are cruel / I shouldn’t feel like a prisoner.” The lyrics delve deep into the complexities of love, capturing the raw emotions experienced in relationships.
Charli has also revealed that the full Wuthering Heights album will be released on February 13, coinciding with the film’s premiere date. The album will feature 12 original songs, including both “House” and “Chains Of Love.” Taking to Instagram, Charli shared the exciting news with her fans, stating, “Wuthering Heights, the album I created for Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation of Emily Brontë’s classic novel, is available to pre-order now. 12 original songs. Yours, 13th February 2026.”
