Songfacts®:

  • "Everything Is Romantic" is the seventh track on Charli XCX's sixth album, Brat. The sweeping song invites listeners to imagine an idyllic Italian backdrop while reflecting on the idea that love and romance can be found in every corner of life, from the mundane to the extraordinary.

    Charli teased on TikTok: "Five words (sic) to describe 'Everything is Romantic': Italian, apparel, romantic, Pompeii, lace, curtains."
  • Charli co-produced the track herself, along with her longtime collaborator and sonic mastermind A.G. Cook and Pablo "El Guincho" Díaz-Reixa, the Spanish producer known for his work with Rosalía and Camila Cabello. This marked Charli's third official production credit, following her October 2023 collaboration with Sam Smith, "In The City," and another Brat track, "Apple."
  • According to El Guincho, Charli had the Brat campaign meticulously planned well before they met up in Miami to record about halfway through the album. "She'd been in Italy with her partner and wanted to reflect that," El Guincho told Billboard.

    He added that she had lyrics ready and a clear vision of the song having a "grand" opening." From there, he whipped up the powerful beat at A2F Studios, and "Everything Is Romantic" came to life.
  • Charli debuted the track live on June 2, 2024, at Primavera Sound in Barcelona.
  • Charli recorded an "Everything Is Romantic" remix featuring Caroline Polachek as part of her remix album Brat and It's Completely Different but Also Still Brat. The remix album takes original Brat tracks and flips them on their heads with fresh collaborations and new versions.

    Where the original "Everything Is Romantic" conjures sun-dappled visions of Italy, the remix shifts from the Mediterranean to a moodier, urban setting: "Late nights in black silk in East London."
  • Polachek and Charli have worked together before, including on a remix of Polachek's "Welcome to My Island."
  • The Caroline Polachek version of "Everything Is Romantic" soundtracks the trailer for Emerald Fennell's 2025 adaptation of Wuthering Heights. The dreamy, romantic track complements the steamy visuals of Margot Robbie (as Catherine) and Jacob Elordi (as Heathcliff) throughout the teaser.
