Album Notes & Community Reviews

How I'm Feeling Now (stylized in all lowercase) is the fourth studio album by British singer Charli XCX, released on 15 May 2020 by Asylum Records and Atlantic Records. Released eight months after her previous album, Charli (2019), the album was conceived in the span of six weeks during the COVID-19 lockdown in a "do it yourself" collaborative process with her fans. Charli XCX, A. G. Cook and BJ Burton served as the album's executive producers. How I'm Feeling Now was preceded by the singles "Forever", "Claws", and "I Finally Understand", which were met with positive reviews from critics. The album received critical acclaim and was noted for its fusion of pop songwriting and experimental electronic production. It debuted at number 33 on the UK Albums Chart, moving 2,145 units. It was shortlisted for the 2020 Mercury Prize.
