2014 single by Charli XCX
"Break the Rules " is a song by English singer Charli XCX from her second studio album, Sucker (2014). It was released on 19 August 2014 as the album's second single. In a 2020 interview with Red Bull , XCX stated that she regrets recording the track.[1]
Composition [ edit ]
"Break the Rules" is an electro-rock and alternative rock song,[2] [3] set against a "propulsive" synth-pop groove.[4] The song is written in the key of E ♭ major in common time with a tempo of 124 beats per minute. "Break the Rules" follows a chord progression of C5 –B♭ 5 –A♭ 5 –E♭ 5 –F5 , and Charli's vocals span from B♭ 3 to C5 .[5]
Critical reception [ edit ]
Cosmopolitan listed "Break the Rules" at number five on its 2014 best songs list.[6] Ahead of the release of her 2022 album Crash , Consequence of Sound ranked the song as Charli's best,[7] which she disagreed with.[8]
Music video [ edit ]
The music video for "Break the Rules" was directed by Marc Klasfeld and premiered on 25 August 2014.[9] [10] The video was filmed at Birmingham High School while class was in session, so the lyrics "getting high and getting wrecked" had to be muted during playbacks.[11] According to Charli, the video draws inspiration from films such as Carrie (1976), The Craft (1996) and Jawbreaker (1999).[10] [12] It features a cameo from actress Rose McGowan , the star of Jawbreaker , as a school chaperone .[10]
Usage in media [ edit ]
The song was used in trailers for the 2015 film Goosebumps . It was also featured in the 2016 film Good Kids .[13] The song was also used in a 2016 Dish Network commercial and as the theme song of season 7 of Vietnam's Next Top Model . It is also used in both trailers for the 2020 film My Spy .
