"**After The Afterparty**" is a song by British singer-songwriter Charli XCX featuring American rapper Lil Yachty. It was released on October 28th, 2016 through Darkroom and Interscope Records. It serves as the lead single to Charli's upcoming debut studio album, which is expected to be released sometime in mid-2017.

## Background

In an interview for iHeart Radio, Charli said that the inspiration for the song when she was at "two months of solid partying" and thought that she should "chill" now. She then went back into the studio and wrote the song with some friends. The goal of the song for Charli was making the "biggest, boldest and loudest pop song ever".

The collaboration came about after Charli contacted Lil Yachty via Twitter DM, and learned that he was a fan of her debut extended play *Vroom Vroom. "It annoys me when people are like, 'Oh he can't rap,'" she said of the Atlanta rhymer to Beats 1's Zane Lowe. "We're not in a time where rappers are all about having the best all time flow, or that old school flow. I love the way that he raps but I also love the way that he presents himself in his videos and that he's this creative force."*

Charli previously teased the song on Twitter using a string of emojis. She premiered the lyrics on Genius.

## Theme

In the track she sings about partying all day, every day, and gives a shout-out to fellow party girl Rihanna. Charli XCX said the song is about "partying through eternity, into the afterlife and forever after! Everyone's invited – Lil Yachty, all the angels; everybody in the entire world," she added, "just bring some champagne, though."

## Lyrics

**[Intro: Charli XCX]**

After the after the party we're gonna keep it going

We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain

**[Verse 1: Charli XCX]**

I think it's almost 4 AM but baby I'm still feeling just fine

Ice all up in a plastic cup and I'ma keep on sipping all night, yeah

I might've kissed a thousand lips but maybe that's just all in my mind

Some people never understand the way we live but we're living life

**[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX]**

Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late

So everyone say, "We don't wanna stop!"

**[Chorus: Charli XCX]**

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'

We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna stay 'til mornin'

Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're all in love

We're all in love

**[Verse 2: Charli XCX]**

I'm hangin' on my best friend's couch and my clothes are all on the floor

I got glitter in my underwear like it was Studio 54, yeah

I can't remember why I love it, but I need it baby, clap, bring on the encore

Let's pour another drink, the glasses go \*clink\*

Yeah, we're always up for one more

**[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX]**

Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late

So everyone say, "We don't wanna stop!"

**[Chorus: Charli XCX and *Lil Yatchy*]**

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'

We're gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain

'Cause after the afterparty (*afterparty*)

We're gonna stay 'til mornin' (*stay 'til mornin*)

Then when the time is up, we'll do it again (*oh yeah*)

**[Verse 3: Lil Yachty]**

The party just ended but I'm not done with you

My folks are out of town, we got a crib with a view

Come over, bring a couple friends, I keep mine with me

Shout out to Whitney, she was so wicked

The party was so crazy, the party was so crazy

Tomorrow I'll be lazy but I'll spend it with you baby

**[Bridge: Charli XCX]**

Monday to Sunday doing it our way

RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday

We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop

And we do it like ice cream for dinner

Bucket of liqueur, we're getting sicker

Don't need Ibiza

We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop

And we do it like

Monday to Sunday doing it our way

RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday

We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

**[Chorus: Charli XCX]**

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'

We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain

'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna stay 'til mornin'

Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

**[Outro: Charli XCX]**

Monday to Sunday doing it our way

RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday

We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
