How I'm Feeling Now, released in 2020, is Charli XCX’s most experimental and intimate project to date, created during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Produced entirely in quarantine over just six weeks, the album is a raw, DIY exploration of Charli’s emotions during a time of isolation, vulnerability, and uncertainty. Blending hyperpop, glitchy beats, and distorted vocals, How I'm Feeling Now captures the chaotic, cathartic energy of her creative process, reflecting the intensity of both personal and global crises.

Tracks like "forever" and "claws" are filled with pulsing beats, heavy autotune, and sharp synths that amplify Charli’s introspective lyrics on love, mental health, and self-reflection. The album’s production is futuristic and abrasive, with input from her fans and collaborators like A.G. Cook and 100 gecs, adding to its organic and collaborative feel.

How I'm Feeling Now is praised for its vulnerability and innovation, capturing a unique moment in time while breaking the boundaries of pop. It’s a sonic diary of sorts, offering listeners an unfiltered look into Charli’s life and mind, making it a fan favorite and a critical success for its honest portrayal of connection and creativity in isolation.
