It was released on 28 October 2016 by Asylum Records and Atlantic Records UK intended as the lead single from XCX's scrapped third studio album, commonly referred to by fans as 'XCX World'. However, the song became a stand-alone single when tracks from the project were leaked online and the album was ultimately cancelled. Critical receptionAilbhe Malone of 'The Irish Times' called the song "a turned-up banger, similar to 'We Can't Stop' by Miley Cyrus", but also claiming that it had a "layer of modernist gloss" due to the input of Sophie. Laura Snapes of 'Pitchfork' described the song's "neon nihilism and aggressive self-possession are the drivers of Charli's career rather than its destructors" and commented on Charli's vocals at the end of track beginning to "slip and stutter". 'NME' named it the tenth best song of 2016 on their year-end list. Music videoThe music video for "After the Afterparty" was released on 30 October 2016.
