"talk" target="_blank">Talk talk" target="_blank">Talk" (stylised as "talk" target="_blank">Talk talk" target="_blank">talk") is a song by English singer Charli XCX. It was first released on 7 June 2024 as the fifth track on her sixth studio album Brat and was written about her fiancé George Daniel. A revamped Balearic house inspired remix of the Eurodance song featuring Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan and uncredited spoken word from Dua Lipa was released on 12 September 2024 as a single from Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat and the third collaboration between Charli XCX and Sivan.




Original version and background


The original iteration of "talk" target="_blank">Talk talk" target="_blank">Talk", which appeared as an album track on Brat, was written by Charli XCX and producers A. G. Cook and Hudson Mohawke, and was released alongside the rest of the album by Atlantic Records on 7 June 2024. The original version has been described as a synth-pop and Eurodance track. Discussing the song in a video posted to her TikTok, Charli stated that the song was inspired by an incident at the 2020 NME Awards, during which she was attracted to her future fiancé George Daniel but had not yet begun dating him. After tiring of texting Daniel, she went to follow him into the toilet, got halfway, but thought better of it. After releasing Brat, Charli XCX released remixes of the Brat tracks "360" (with Robyn and Yung Lean), "Von Dutch" (with Addison Rae and Cook, as well as with Skream and Benga), "Girl, So Confusing" (with Lorde), and "Guess" (with Billie Eilish).




Remix



A "talk" target="_blank">Talk talk" target="_blank">Talk" remix with Sivan was teased by both artists on social media prior to the official announcement, with Charli XCX posting a video to Twitter featuring her and Sivan dancing and lip-syncing to the new version of the song. Dua Lipa's involvement was also teased when Charli shared a voice note from Lipa on her private Instagram account, and the song's producers tagged Lipa and Sivan on their stories. Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat, the remix album of Brat, was announced on 12 September 2024 alongside the release of "talk" target="_blank">Talk talk" target="_blank">Talk" with Sivan, it was sent to Italian radio the same day. The song is the third collaboration between the two artists following "1999" and "2099", both from Charli XCX's self-titled third studio album Charli (2019), and its release coincided with the beginning of their co-headlining Sweat Tour which began a few days later on 14 September, where it was performed as the concert's encore. Lipa speaks French and Spanish on the track. Dazed described the remix as a "Balearic house inspired club banger."
In an interview with Billboard, Sivan explained that Charli chose "talk" target="_blank">Talk talk" target="_blank">Talk" as the song for him to feature on, and stated that she had originally sent him the song while she was working on it for Brat. He explained that she encouraged him and his "Rush" collaborators Leland, Kaelyn Behr, Kevin "Zhone" Hickey, and Kevin Novodor, to use the original track as a "seed" to expand, and experiment with to create his own interpretation of the track, which led to the creation of an almost entirely new song which Sivan felt was akin to "sampling" the original version. Sivan expressed that Charli asked him to create a "two minute pop song rather than a six minute club song", and that he enjoyed taking "taking the scissors" to the original track and working collaboratively with Charli and her team to produce the remix.




Reception


In a mixed appraisal of the song, Tom Breihan of Stereogum stated that the remix is a "complete reworking of the original track that barely sounds anything like the original". Referring to the song as a "slamming house banger", he remarked on how the remix lacks the "incandescent hook" of the original version but does feature "some murmured French and Spanish Dua Lipa vocals on the intro". Breihan criticized the newer version of the song, expressing that "it's got none of the nervous vulnerability of the original 'talk" target="_blank">Talk talk" target="_blank">Talk'. Instead this one is just about being really excited to fuck".
