Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat: The Remix Album Explained

Four months after the original Brat reshaped pop culture, Charli XCX returned with a full remix album that reworked nearly the entire tracklist alongside a long list of guest artists. Here is what Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat actually is, when it came out, and who is on it.

When Was the Brat Remix Album Released?

Brat and it’s completely different but also still brat was released on October 11, 2024. It functions as a companion, double-album-style project built from the deluxe edition, Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not, with the majority of tracks reworked as full collaborations rather than simple remixes.

What Makes It Different From a Typical Remix Album

Rather than handing tracks off to outside producers for club-ready reworks, Charli XCX largely rebuilt each song as a duet or feature, inviting other artists to write and perform alongside the original vocals. The result reads less like a remix package and more like a second, collaborative version of the album — which is exactly what the title is getting at.

Who Is on the Brat Remix Album?

The guest list spans pop, alternative, and underground artists, including:

• Ariana Grande
• Billie Eilish
• Lorde
• Bon Iver
• Kesha
• Troye Sivan
• Addison Rae
• Caroline Polachek
• Robyn
• The 1975
• Tinashe
• Shygirl
• Bladee
• Yung Lean
• BB Trickz
• Julian Casablancas
• Jon Hopkins
• The Japanese House
• A.G. Cook

The Grammy-Nominated Track

The remix of “Guess” featuring Billie Eilish received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, becoming one of the most talked-about tracks from the entire Brat era and helping extend the album’s cultural reach well past its original summer release window.

Why the Remix Album Mattered for the Brat Aesthetic

The remix album kept the same stripped-back green visual identity as the original, reinforcing that the Brat look was never really about the music alone — it was a design system that could stretch across an entire era, including a second full-length release, without ever needing to change.
