Wikipedia article




"'Girls Night Out'" is a single by English singer and songwriter Charli XCX. It was released on 26 July 2018 by Asylum Records and Atlantic Records UK as the third installment from a series of monthly single releases.

Release



Following numerous live performances, a demo of the song surfaced online in 2017, originally intended for Charli's scrapped third album. The track was later finalized and mastered for its official release, featuring additional vocal production and ad-libs during the bridge. On 25 July 2018, the song was officially confirmed as the next of Charli XCX's monthly singles, to be released later that week.

Critical reception



Althea Legaspi of 'Rolling Stone' labeled the song as a "thumping, club-ready track". Henry Youtt of 'Billboard' named the song a "peppy party anthem". Douglas Greenwood of 'NME' thought of "Girls Night Out" as "the definitive antidote to everything bad in our lives. This song could reverse the effects of global warming. It could slash the cost of living in London to the price of a bottle of Lambrini. It's skin-cleansing; life-affirming everything Charli XCX fans have ever wanted." In April 2022, 'Clash' named the song among the 17 best of Charli's songs, with Gem Stokes comparing its melody and production with Madonna's "Holiday" and stating that "its complete unpretentious freedom" is what makes it so enjoyable.

Live performances



The song was premiered by Sophie at the Output club in Brooklyn, New York in July 2015. From 2015 to 2018 the song has been played at multiple live shows by both XCX and Sophie.
