Charli XCX believes her next album would “flop” after her album, Brat, saw chart-topping success.

The Von Dutch singer admitted that though she does not feel any “pressure” to create more chart-topping records, she does not feel like her new music would do as well as Brat did.

“I was really doing it for myself. I had no clue people would connect with it the way they did. I don’t feel the pressure because you can never really do the same thing twice,” Charli XCX told Culted.

“My next record will probably be a flop, which I’m down for,” she candidly stated.

This comes after the Speed Drive hitmaker recently admitted that she finds it "really hard to let go of" Brat.

In a TikTok video, Charli XCX could be heard saying, “Yesterday I made this TikTok about, Summer again? And I was kind of joking but also maybe serious.”

“I don’t know. Um, but it got me thinking about it is really hard to let go of Brat, and let go of this thing that is so inherently me, and become my entire life,” she added,

She continued: “You know? I started thinking about culture and the ebbs and flows of the lifespan of things. Then, how when you get a level of success, you can become oversaturated and then people want you to disappear – which I understand, and I am sort of a believer in that.”

“But yeah, it’s obviously hard to just be like, ‘Ok. It’s over now.’ I kind of want it to go on and on and one because it is who I am,” the 360 crooner added.

She further mentioned, “I’ve been thinking about Brat long before the record came out. I’ve sat here on my own for two-year prior thinking about how I’m going to communicate this record to the world. Not just the music but the whole visual identity of the album.”

“I just kind of want it to keep going,” Charli XCX concluded.
