Charli XCX has released a B-Sides edition of her album Music, Fashion, Film exclusively on iTunes, three days after the album itself arrived. The expanded version adds three bonus tracks — "I Keep on Thinking Bout You Every Single Day and Night," "Playboy Bunny," and "If You Take Away the Music Then What Has She Got?" — and is not available on streaming platforms.

Each of the three B-sides comes with its own black-and-white music video, matching the visual language that runs through the album's wider campaign.

The artist explained the reasoning on her private Instagram account, according to Pitchfork's reporting. She said she initially resisted putting the B-sides on streaming because it felt "counterintuitive to the ethos of those songs," but released them on iTunes because fans asked for them. The secondary Instagram handle she posts from — the one formerly known as @360_brat — was renamed to @b.sides around mid-April 2026, which at the time prompted speculation among fans that a B-sides release was coming.

That speculation turned out to be correct, just not in the form many expected. The songs are out, but locked to a single digital storefront rather than placed on the streaming services where most listeners now find music.

Music, Fashion, Film is Charli XCX's second full-length album of 2026, following the Wuthering Heights soundtrack. Releasing a companion edition within days of an album's initial drop is an established play in the industry — it gives dedicated listeners a reason to buy a second copy or seek out an alternate version, and it keeps an album in the news cycle during the window when first-week attention matters most for chart placement.

What makes this release stand out is the format choice. Keeping the B-sides off Spotify, Apple Music and other streaming services — while still selling them as purchasable downloads on iTunes — runs against the grain of how the vast majority of music reaches listeners in 2026. For fans who have moved entirely to streaming, hearing these three songs means going back to a purchase model that most of the industry has largely left behind.

Whether the B-sides eventually appear on streaming remains Charli XCX's call. For now, they live on iTunes, each one paired with a monochrome video, released the way she decided they should be heard.
