"Von Dutch" (stylized as "Von dutch") is a song by English singer Charli XCX. It was released on 29 February 2024 through Atlantic Records. Written by Charli alongside its producer Finn Keane, the track serves as the lead single from her sixth studio album, Brat . [1] [2] [3] [4] The song and its remix version received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Pop Recording and Best Remixed Recording, respectively. [5]

Contents

Background and composition

Charli teased the song on her social media pages before making videos on TikTok featuring a 20-second snippet of the chorus. [6] One of these videos featured American singer Addison Rae, whom Charli collaborated with on her 2023 track "2 Die 4". [7]

The song was written by Charli and Finn Keane, who also handled production. Keane had previously produced several tracks from her 2017 mixtape Pop 2 , "Official" from her 2019 album Charli , and "Speed Drive" from the soundtrack to the 2023 film Barbie . It is a throwback to Charli's teens, when she was on MySpace and "first began thinking [her] taste was cool". It was written about embracing being an object of gossip or obsession, [1] with the title referring to the cult status of the eponymous fashion brand, [3] and features Charli "sing-chanting over a blaring synth-anchored electropop beat". [8]

Critical reception

"Von Dutch" received universal acclaim upon release. Ahead of its release, The Face 's Shaad D'Souza called the single a "perfect introduction to her acidic, freewheeling new mode ... the song plays like bravura tweets fired off after a glass of champagne". [1] Pitchfork gave it the distinction of Best New Track, with Anna Gaca describing it as "made of helium and hydraulics, ... with its heart in the club and its ass on a Harley  ... another chapter in the singer-producer's gleeful participatory parody of celebrity culture". [9] Gio Santiago of Resident Advisor gave the track an "RA Recommends" stamp, noting "'Von Dutch' is a true and chaotic return to form ... a supercharged blast of dance pop, club and electroclash". [10] Billboard 's Kyle Denis characterized the song as "delightfully rambunctious". [8]

Music video

Directed by Torso and filmed at the Charles de Gaulle and Paris–Le Bourget airports in the Paris area, the music video's terminal scene was shot in Hall M of Charles de Gaulle's Terminal 2E, while the cabin and wing scenes were shot on the Boeing 747-100 and Airbus A380, respectively, displayed on the tarmac of the Musée de l'air et de l'espace at Le Bourget. The video is depicted from the point of view of a paparazzo chasing Charli through an airport terminal into the cabin of the 747. She spars with the camera, pushes it down boarding stairs, then climbs up the landing gear onto the wing of the A380. The video ends with Charli deliberately falling off the plane's wing into a baggage cart, then lying on a moving luggage conveyor belt, staring deeply into the camera. [1] [11] [12] [2]

The music video was nominated at the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Cinematography. [13]
