Charli XCX has quietly done what she does best: bend the internet to her will, then leave fans scrambling to keep up. Following the world premiere of Wuthering Heights in Los Angeles this week, the British pop auteur revealed the full tracklist for her forthcoming album—by way of a Letterboxd review.

A devoted cinephile, Charli XCX used the film-centric platform to publish the song titles for Wuthering Heights, her original soundtrack to Emerald Fennell’s upcoming adaptation of Emily Brontë’s gothic novel. The 12-track project, out February 13, 2026 via Atlantic Records, will land the same day as the film’s UK theatrical release, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi.

The tracklist reveal also came with a major surprise: Sky Ferreira is confirmed as a featured artist on a song titled “Eyes Of The World”. It marks a rare appearance from Ferreira and instantly positions the collaboration as one of the album’s most anticipated moments.

Charli has already unveiled three tracks from the record—”Chains Of Love”, “Wall Of Sound”, and “House”. The latter features a spoken-word contribution and jagged viola lines from Velvet Underground co-founder John Cale, setting the tone for a soundtrack that is darker, more literary, and more atmospheric than her 2024 cultural juggernaut Brat.

Described by Charli herself as “raw, wild, sexual, gothic, British, [and] tortured,” Wuthering Heights emerged from her creative partnership with Fennell. What began as a request for “a song” quickly escalated into a full album—an immersive world built on character, restraint, and emotional extremity. Produced alongside Finn Keane and collaborators, the project leans into brooding textures and narrative-driven songwriting, offering a stark departure from Charli XCX’s recent hyper-pop maximalism.

With its windswept melancholy, literary DNA and high-profile collaborators, Wuthering Heights signals a bold new chapter — one where Charli XCX trades club sweat for candle smoke and pop immediacy for something far more haunted.
