Background

In late 2024, Charli XCX was approached by British filmmaker Emerald Fennell to write a song for her upcoming film adaptation of Wuthering Heights . [3] Rather than composing one piece, Charli and her collaborator Finn Keane created multiple compositions inspired by the screenplay and film's aesthetic, ultimately developing into a full twelve-track companion album for the film. Work on the album was done throughout 2025, where the two would rent out studios on the road during Charli's touring schedule. [4]

Release and promotion

On 13 November 2025, Charli announced the release of the second single of her upcoming soundtrack album Wuthering Heights, titled "Chains of Love". The song was featuring in the official trailer of the Wuthering Heights film. Four days later, she would announce the release of her music video for the song. The single is part of her soundtrack album, scheduled to release on 13 February 2026, tied to the film's theatrical release.
