English singer and songwriter Charli XCX unreleased new song “Beg for You (A. G. Cook Remix),” featuring Japanese-born singer-songwriter Rina Sawayama and Vernon reportedly leaked online.
British producer Digital Song Animal produced the track, which features a sample of Petra Marklund’s dance hit “Cry for You,” performed under the moniker September. The two exchange verses about missing their respective loves when they depart, reminiscing about intimate moments when they’re gone. “Oh don’t you leave me this way/Won’t you wait another hour or two,” Charli sings on the chorus. “You know I need you to stay/Don’t make me beg for you, ’cause I’ll beg for you.”
The single follows previously released LP song “New Shapes,” Charli’s collaboration with Caroline Polachek and Christine and the Queens that dropped in November. Charli was scheduled as a musical guest for Saturday Night Live last month, but due to a lighter crew as a result of the Omicron surge, she instead appeared in a pre-recorded music segment with Paul Rudd called “Christmas Socks.”
