Charli XCX and Sam Smith have collaborated for the first time on their new single, “In The City,” co-produced by Charli XCX alongside Ilya, PC Music founder A. G. Cook, Omer Fedi and George Daniel of the 1975.

Charli XCX said of the track: “The song is about finding the people you truly love and connect with through wild nights out and partying in magical places. It’s about feeling accepted, the magnificence of being welcomed into queer spaces and those once in a lifetime people you get to meet when you’re there.”

Smith added, “Charli is a force and getting creative with her is so much fun. This track is about freedom and those unforgettable nights of abandon. I loved every minute we spent together making it.”
