Listen To A Japanese Version Of Charli XCX's "Boom Clap"

It will be featured on the Japanese edition of Sucker.


Sucker hasn’t even been released in Europe and Asia but Charli XCX is already getting a jump start on her plans for the next album.


Sucker hasn’t even been released in Europe and Asia but Charli XCX is already getting a jump start on her plans for the next album.


While Sucker is a pop-punk party, Charli revealed in an interview with Time magazine that her third album will be heavily influenced by J-pop music. She told Billboard the same thing a few weeks later, saying her plan was to "listen to loads of J-pop and go to Japan."

Instead of waiting to unveil her new sound two years from now, the pop star gave her single “Boom Clap” a J-pop makeover.



We reached out to Japanese-speaking BuzzFeeder Faye Kahn to translate. "Actually this song sounds pretty good in Japanese," she said. "She pronounces some things slightly weird but it's actually really, really good for an English-speaker."

The night sky shimmers with the moon & the stars

But your light-the light I'm searching for-isn't there

Since the moment we first kissed a kind of magic was released

I can't breath without you near me so... THIS MUST BE LOVE


BOOM CLAP

Don't stop!

It resonates in my heart

BOOM CLAP

Show me your dreams!

COME ON TO ME COME ON TO ME NOW

BOOM CLAP

I can't sleep!

I fell in love, the sound resonates in my heart

BOOM CLAP

YOU MAKE ME FEEL GOOD

COME ON TO ME COME ON TO ME NOW


No matter what jewels I wear, before you their extravagance pales

Softly teach me the magic words, I want to jump into your world

I FEEL YOUR LOVE


Always the overachiever, the singer also recorded a Japanese version of "Break The Rules."



The new versions of both singles will be included on the Japanese edition of Sucker, out February 18.
