Charli xcx reaches new heights — and not the wuthering kind — in the music video for her new song, “Chains of Love,” pulling off a number of gravity-defying stunts from way high up.
The monochromatic visual posted Monday (Nov. 17) finds Charli in a white dress and boots, dancing atop a large white dining table in a luxurious hall. Flipping her hair and writhing around in pain and ecstasy, the singer dodges plates and cutlery that fly at her face while battling mysterious, paranormal forces that throw her around. At one point, the long table tips over, forcing her to hang on for dear life while suspended many feet in the air.
“Shattering like glass/ Yes, they’re breaking up my heart/ The chains of love are cruel,” she sings. “I shouldn’t feel like a prisoner/ My face is turning blue/ I can’t breathe without you here.”
Following “House,” “Chains of Love” marks the second song and video Charli has created for Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights film adaptation. Sharing a clip of the new visual on Instagram, the musician gushed of the partnership, “I’m here so permanently…”
Charli’s work on Wuthering Heights will eventually culminate in a full concept album of the same name, which will drop one day before the film’s premiere on Valentine’s Day next year. The adaptation stars Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff and Margot Robbie as Catherine, the two star-crossed lovers from Emily Brontë’s classic gothic romance.
“Chains of Love” dropped a few days prior to its musical video and soundtracked the first proper trailer for Fennell’s film.
In a recent post on Substack, Charli explained that she’s been loving immersing herself in the world of Wuthering Heights as a musical release, rather than focusing at all on topping the success of her 2024 breakout album Brat. “I wanted to dive into persona, into a world that felt undeniably raw, wild, sexual, gothic, British, tortured and full of actual real sentences, punctuation and grammar,” she wrote. “Without a cigarette or a pair of sunglasses in sight, it was all totally other from the life I was currently living.”
“This collection of songs is an album, and sure, my name’s on the credits, but is it a Charli xcx album?” she added at the time. “I don’t even know. Nor do I really care to find out.”

So, they knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring. Now it’s time to pick some music.

Disney+ dropped the two-and-a-half minute trailer for the upcoming refresh of The Beatles Anthology series. The beloved documentary chronicling the formation, fame and frenzy surrounding the Fab Four — which was originally broadcast in 1995 in the U.S. and U.K. before being released on video — will make its streaming debut on the service beginning Nov. 26.
The first three episodes will drop that day, followed by parts 4-6 on Nov. 27 and episode 7-9 on Nov. 28. The series has been restored and expanded from eight to nine episodes, including a new ninth ep featuring what a release promised was, “illuminating and previously unreleased footage of Paul, George and Ringo during the creation of the original 1990s Anthology series and music project.”
The series follows John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison as they look back on the legendary band’s eight-year rise to global superstardom, with the Disney+ version slated to feature a new restoration of the footage and a sound mix overseen by the Apple Corps production team working in conjunction with director Peter Jackson’s Park Road Post crew in Wellington, New Zealand.
The trailer opens with the voice of Lennon describing the origins of the group. “I met Paul and said, ‘do you want to join me band?’… Then George joined. Then Ringo joined,” he says. What follows is a whirlwind tour through the group’s early years, with Ringo explaining, “We’ve heard it from everybody else, now you can hear it from us” as archival footage has Lennon lamenting, “the demand on us was tremendous.”
The clip then takes us from a series of high points, the group’s legendary Feb. 1964 Ed Sullivan appearance that launched a million bands to the first-ever major stadium rock show at New York’s Shea Stadium in 1965, which was followed by a second show at Shea that Starr completely forgot about. “I thought we only played there once,” Starr says. “How was it?”
The new ninth chapter finds the then living members — McCartney, Starr and Harrison — regrouping in 1995 to work on the first “new” Beatles song since the group’s split in April 1970, “Free as a Bird.” In addition to the original doc series, The Beatles Anthology project included a four-volume set of double albums (which also contained another “new” song “Real Love”) as well as 2000 coffee table book.
“Nothing will ever break the love we have for each other,” says Lennon, who was murdered by a crazed fan outside his New York apartment building on Dec. 8, 1980. “The Beatles exist without us,” adds Harrison, who died in 2001 of cancer at age 58.

According to Ticketmaster, Mastercard cardholders and fans with access to the artist presale can jump in from Wednesday, Nov. 19, at 9 a.m. local time, followed by a Live Nation presale on Thursday, Nov. 20, at 10 a.m. General on-sale begins Friday, Nov. 21, at 10 a.m. All shows are mobile-ticket only, with a limit of 10 tickets per customer per show.
The Australian run extends Rapp’s busy Bite Me campaign. The album, released Aug. 1, 2025, became her first top 10 entry on the Billboard 200, where it debuted in the top three, and earned her first U.K. No. 1 album on the Official Albums Chart.
The project followed her 2023 debut Snow Angel, which reached No. 44 on the Billboard 200 and scored the biggest first week for a debut album by a female artist that year, helping establish Rapp as a rising pop force beyond her theater and TV fanbase.
Rapp has been touring heavily behind Bite Me across North America in 2025, with the trek scheduled to continue through Europe in March 2026 following her rescheduled U.S. dates this November after a short illness-related postponement.
