Charli XCX Releasing ‘Party 4 U' Video to Celebrate Fifth Anniversary of ‘How I'm Feeling Now'

Charli XCX has revealed she'll finally release a video for her 2020 single 'Party 4 U' to coincide with the five-year anniversary of How I'm Feeling Now.
While the singer is still in the midst of her Brat summer, she turned to Instagram Wednesday to share a handwritten note reflecting on How I'm Feeling Now, a release that 'honestly just feels like yesterday,' she wrote.

'So much has changed since then: me, my life, elements of my music and most definitely the world,' XCX wrote.
'I made the album in just five weeks, from conception to release, entirely publicly in collaboration with all of you. It was so special. I felt like I rediscovered myself, my sanity + my sense of connection with the world, at a time where we were all so alone.'
How I'm Feeling Now was recorded during the Covid-19 quarantines, and its arrival in May 2020 was dampened in part by the continuing pandemic. However, five years later, the album's 'Party 4 U' has seen a resurgence thanks to TikTok as well as its inclusion in the Brat Tour setlist, leading her label to re-release the single earlier this month and pair it with a music video arriving Thursday, the album's fifth anniversary.
'Obviously I wanted to do something to celebrate,' Charli hinted in the handwritten letter, later sharing an image from the forthcoming 'Party 4 U' video.
'It was all of us at our most raw, our most stripped, our most vulnerable. I will never forget it, and I really can't believe that 5 years later one of the Angel favorites is having its own special moment.'

No weights, no problem — this is the 15-minute no-equipment workout I'm doing to keep up my strength training on holiday

When I go on holiday, working out isn't a priority for me. However, I do like to give myself the option, so I often pack a pair of my best running shoes into my luggage for either a run or a quick visit to the hotel gym. I'm heading to Portugal next week and staying in a rental apartment, so with no gym available, I've been on the hunt for a no-equipment strength workout I can do from anywhere. One trainer who never lets me down when I need a quick and effective home-friendly workout is Kayla Itsines. With nearly 16 million Instagram followers, I know I'm not the only one who loves her content. That's where I came across her travel-friendly full-body workout, and it went straight into my saved posts. It includes six moves performed across three sets, which might sound like a lot, but the full routine only takes 15 minutes to complete. I gave it a test run before packing and found it quick, effective and surprisingly energizing. As I'm an early riser. Even on holiday, I'll likely be doing this routine out on the balcony before everyone else wakes up. That said, it's the kind of workout you could easily squeeze in during a midday siesta or before heading out for dinner. If you're heading somewhere warm and planning to keep up your running, the Saucony Triumph SG is a great pick. It's lightweight, breathable, and has a quick-pull lacing system that makes it easy to slip on and go. A post shared by KAYLA ITSINES (@kayla_itsines) A photo posted by on There are six exercises involved, all demonstrated by Itsines in the post above. It's worth watching her video so you can note the correct form. Each exercise is listed below. You'll spend 30 seconds on each move, so make sure to do this on each side for the unilateral exercises and don't forget to do all three rounds. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Itsines' routine is proof that you don't need a gym or a lot of time to get a solid full-body workout in. With six simple bodyweight moves repeated across three rounds, it targets your major muscle groups and gets your heart rate up in just 15 minutes. You'll kick things off with double-pulse sumo squats, a lower-body move that works your inner thighs and glutes while building strength and stability in your hips. Then it's into glute kickbacks and fire hydrants, which isolate the glutes and help improve balance, especially since you'll be working one side at a time. The commando and hover-to-plank combo brings in upper-body strength and core control, challenging your shoulders, arms and abs. Finally, ab bikes round things off with a burst of core work that also gives your obliques some attention. While it's quick, this type of session helps you build functional strength — the kind you use in everyday movements like climbing stairs, bending, or carrying things. As it's bodyweight-based, you're not just building muscle, but also working on your balance, mobility and endurance. The combination of core activation, unilateral work (where you focus on one side at a time) and full-body engagement means you're training in a balanced way that can help reduce injury risk and support long-term strength goals, too.

‘All I Get Is Old Men:' Man Buys Classic Chevrolet to Get Attention From Women. It Backfires

A man's scheme to attract the female gaze by purchasing a vintage car ultimately backfired. Johnny (@canadajuice) shared his woes in a viral TikTok that's accrued more than 1.2 million views on the popular social media platform. In the video, he airs his grievances over the consequences of his buy. 'I bought this car for attention from women.' he says, speaking directly into the camera and ambling through an indoor parking garage. Following this, he directs his camera toward an early model Chevy Impala as he holds a guitar in hand. However, Johnny says that only older dudes seem to care that he's currently riding around in a classic. 'And all I get is old men saying put down your window son. You weren't even alive when that car was being made…' his video cuts out before he completes his sentence. Commenters React Despite his frustrations, several folks had differing opinions about Johnny's vehicle and the interest it would garner. One TikToker argued that there are certainly some members of the opposite sex who'd be intrigued by his wheels. 'Any woman who watches Supernatural will give you attention,' one said. Someone else echoed the aforementioned sentiment, and even gave Johnny some pointers on how to capitalize on the Supernatural demographic. 'You just need a flannel shirt and a worn-out leather jacket like Dean Winchester.' Winchester drove one on the long-running, 20-year-old show . Another remarked that the older men trying to lecture the TikToker about the age of his vehicle are probably envious: 'They're jealous they don't have the swag you have,' one wrote. One woman told Johnny that they had their interest piqued by his post and video. Another replied: 'I'll give you some attention…' But someone else speculated another piece of Johnny's property showcased in his clip will likely get more eyes on him: 'The guitar is probably going to get you more attention from women than the car.' Classic Impala The Chevrolet Impala model Johnny shows off in his video appears to have been manufactured in the 1970s. Newer Impala models, from 1994 and up, are known to have several recurring problems. This includes oil dripping and exhaust manifold woes, along with engine cooling issues. The brand's automatic transmission hasn't seemed to really win over driving enthusiasts, either. More on the Impala Big Chevy Barn Find Sees Camaro, Impala, Square Body Pickup Collecting Dust Chevy Impala Dies Today, 62 Years Since The Original's Launch Additionally, there are braking system faults to keep an eye out for. Older Impalas have their own set of issues, but there are many car enthusiasts who have a fondness for these cars. Like this YouTuber who called the 1967 Chevrolet Impala the best ride the brand has ever made . Should I Buy a Classic Car? Anytime one purchases a car that's decades old, there are a slew of issues that need to be addressed. Locating parts can oftentimes be a drag, as classic components may need to be special-ordered. Moreover, many of these rides have probably been sitting dormant for years on end. Which means that a lack of use could necessitate deep cleaning and restoration on key components. Furthermore, drivers can expect to forego a lot of modern standard amenities and luxuries. There are some benefits to riding around in a vintage vehicle, however. Despite oftentimes requiring meticulous upkeep, unlike many newer cars, vintage cars can be an asset. It's not uncommon for highly sought-after older cars to increase in value. Furthermore, because they were manufactured in a different era, they can bypass specific inspection and emissions guidelines . Then there's the added benefit of the coolness factor: It's hard to argue against the aesthetic of a classic Impala. Conversely, later model offerings pale in comparison with its more utilitarian, boring-everyday-sedan design language. Classic: Simple and Reliable? On one hand, getting a vintage, cobwebbed-garage car up and running is a tall order. Troubleshooting parts, getting all of the components firing reliably, and abstaining from modern commuter comforts is certainly a learning curve. Although there is something to be said about the simplicity of said vehicles. And handling a classic Impala may feel like piloting a yacht on asphalt. But these cars do have fans. This YouTube user calls the 1976 Chevrolet Impala 'America's ultimate classic car.' Invariably, more feature-packed vehicles are going to be prone to more issues. For instance, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio , which is hardly a ubiquitous SUV when compared to, let's say, the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Between 2017 and 2024, there were 9 separate recalls for this particular model. Incorrectly labeled tire sizes. Brake pedal detachments. Front airbag deployment problems. Brake rotor fractures. Rotor and shaft separations. Side curtain airbag engagement issues. All of these problems occurred after just seven years. Conversely, the 1976 Chevrolet Impala, despite being around for nearly 50 years, has just one safety recall issued . And that's for its hydraulic braking system, where a differential proportional valve needs to be swapped out. Its engine has been praised as stalwart and reliable, and could most likely stand the test of time with routine maintenance. Vintage Chevrolet Impala: Worth it? If you're considering getting a classic car, ensure that you have adequate time and resources dedicated to giving it the TLC it'll probably need. Perhaps you, too, could find yourself getting head nods from older men. And maybe bedroom eyes from Supernatural viewers. Motor1 has reached out to Johnny via TikTok comment for further information.
