Isn't 360 the fourth single from Brat?
[edit]The first paragraph says that 360 is the second single from Charli's album, but Von Dutch, Club Classics and B2b were released as singles before 360, which would make it the fourth single. Everett None1195 04:12, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- "Club Classics" and "B2B" are listed as promotional singles on the Brat article and the Charli XCX discography page, but a discussion concerning those songs' single status is happening at Talk:Brat (Charli XCX album) and you're welcome to participate! Dylx 15:59, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
Is the remix with or featuring Yung Lean and Robyn?
[edit]I've seen it described as both with (which implies they are co-lead artists) and featuring and was wondering if having the title "360 featuring Robyn and Yung Lean" listed alongside "Remix by Charli XCX, Robyn and Yung Lean" in the same infobox here can be confusing?

(i) This user is everywhere, his GA reviews are so julia.
All that jazz those puns aside, hi! i will be help you bumping that article to ga status. I should be getting the points very soon (and this time all of the comments will be in brat)
Copyvios
[edit]- Violation unlikely (23.4%)
"delivers the line 'Killin' this shit since 1994/Got everybody in the club dancing on their own' with the confidence of someone who's met her own Brat moment with aplomb"
could be shortened a bit
Release and promotion
[edit]- Not mandatory, but you can add the background section to expand the article's scope?
- Will try!
- FN 1-4 are not archived
Ran article through IABot. benǝʇᴉɯ 16:01, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
fourth single from the album overall
. what?
- "Club Classics" and "B2B" were apparently released as promotional singles per her discography page, but the only source I've been able to find that states that directly is this article from a pretty dubious-seeming source. Obviously, not great to use Wikipedia as a source for itself, but I guess there's enough of a distinction between promotional singles and regular ones that I figured I should note it. benǝʇᴉɯ 15:28, 13 March 2025 (UTC)
- maybe change it to fourth pre-release (to avoid the confusion)? brachy08 (chat here lol) 12:06, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
Composition and lyrics
[edit]- FN 13 does not even mention
electro-pop
- FN 13 (now 14) is used as the source for dance-pop and electroclash; FN 26 (now FN 13) at the end of the paragraph was the source for electropop. Didn't put it again to avoid any repetition, but moved it after "electropop" since I moved the ringtone part to the reception section anyway.
- Addressed
- FN 14-16 does not mention
written by Charli XCX, Blake Slatkin, and Omer Fedi.
(maybe add liner notes?)
- FN 19 does:
Charli enlisted longtime collaborator A.G. Cook – along with songwriters including proven hitmakers Blake Slatkin and Omer Fedi – for her Brat-era mission statement.
Tried not to repeat the source since it appears pretty close to that sentence anyway, but can include that quote in the ref if it helps or repeat it after the sentence if you think it would be necessary.
- Best repeat it.
- FN 19 does:
- FN 21 does not mention
It has minimalist, synth-led production and Charli XCX rap-sings on it in a deadpan tone with slightly pitch-raised vocals.
- FN 21 is the source for "deadpan tone":
As she deadpans in '360'...
The rest of the sources are separately used for the rest of the sentence.
- Addressed
- FN 21 is the source for "deadpan tone":
two minutes and 13 seconds
→two minutes and 14 seconds
- That was my bad—I wanted to use a non-primary source for the song's runtime, but didn't recognize that the runtime Daily Beast lists (2:14) is wrong, at least according to Apple Music. Replaced it with a different source from a less established publication, but the runtime seems like an uncontroversial claim.
- Addressed
- I would suggest elaborating about the ringtone (maybe add "catchy"?)
- Same source gets used later for a quote in the reception section anyway, so I just merged the ringtone part with the later quote about catchiness. Let me know if it looks okay. benǝʇᴉɯ 18:06, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Can you explain how FN 27 supports
The lyrics to "360" revolve around themes of attractiveness, egocentrism, vanity, and self-empowerment.
?
- That sentence was mostly meant to be a summation of what other sources used later in the paragraph say are the themes of the song, but I removed that one since it doesn't really support what the sentence says. Also removed the other adjectives and just stuck to "self-empowerment" since that's what the Genius source says.
- And by the way, is nylon a RS?
- Nylon has a pretty long and established editorial history, most recently having been acquired by Bustle Digital Group. Not sure if it has a completely perfect slate but no concerns raised at RSN and has a pretty robust editorial team.
- How does FN 35 support
Its further lyrics reference several of Charli XCX's colleagues and friends
- States that Gabriette is one of Charli XCX's
famous friends
and later seems to refer back to the song as an example of Charli XCXcelebrating female friendship
. Removed it, though, since the first source used covers that statement well enough.
- States that Gabriette is one of Charli XCX's
- Who is
Cook
?
- A. G. Cook, who is mentioned earlier in the section.
the lead singer of the disbanded punk rock band Nasty Cherry, which Charli XCX formed for the Netflix docuseries I'm with the Band: Nasty Cherry, and fiancée to Matty Healy, who is bandmates in the 1975 with Charli XCX's fiancé George Daniel
seems a bit like unnecessary detail
- This Billboard article is pretty much entirely about Gabbriette's connections to Charli XCX. This Guardian article, used one sentence later, also mentions Nasty Cherry being formed for the Netflix series. I'd say it's relevant.
- Maybe change the comma between Gabbriette's intro and the info about her with a semi-colon? Same with Fox. brachy08 (chat here lol) 12:41, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Is dork reliable?
- Like with Nylon, can't say definitively if it's ever messed up factually, but again, no complaints at RSN and a large enough editorial team (albeit a smaller one than Nylon's), plus its front page shows most of its coverage to be verifiable music releases, concert reviews, and interviews. benǝʇᴉɯ 22:11, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- All of the above addressed brachy08 (chat here lol) 12:08, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
who rose to prominence for her role in the 2019 film Uncut Gems and her highly
is unnecessary detailpublicizedpublicised relationship with Kanye West.
- I can remove it, but I guess I'd like to know what exactly "unnecessary" means here. It gets mentioned in this source as the explanation for Fox's rise to fame, so it seems to me useful as it pertains to a song which makes repeated references to her.
longtime
→long-time
- Any particular reason for this? Longtime seems to be the more common form.
The lyrics to "360" revolve around themes of
andself-empowerment.
Done.
Critical reception
[edit]a
should not be part of the quotation mark
Done, I think?
- Link the daily beast
- It already gets linked in the previous section.
- FN 13 does not have
wryly funny
- FN 13 isn't used as the source for that quote; FN 11 is, and it contains the quote
Finally, here's the one I've got on constant repeat right now: the wryly funny, self-mythologizing opening track from "Brat" ...
- FN 13 isn't used as the source for that quote; FN 11 is, and it contains the quote
