"Flash Pose" is a song by Brazilian singer and drag queen Pabllo Vittar featuring English singer Charli XCX. It was released on 25 July 2019 as the lead single off of Vittar's 111 1 EP and 111 album. The track is Charli XCX and Vittar's second collaboration, following "I Got It", which appears on Charli's Pop 2 mixtape and is followed by "Shake It", on the album Charli.
In an interview with Billboard, Vittar explained her inspiration behind making the song entirely in English, saying "I did a Pride tour in the U.S. and Canada this year, and there were a lot of fans there. They try to learn Portuguese so they can sing and communicate with me, so it's time for me to learn to speak their language too, right?"[1]
"Flash Pose" is Vittar's first English-language track. Musically, it is a "self-assured, club-ready"[2] electropop composition influenced by house music and "inspired by the global Pride parades at which [Vittar] performs".[3][4] It features a "percussive, electronic-tinged chorus",[5] "driving" beats[6] and "a roiling verse about wearing vintage Versace and party-hopping in a bright pink car à la Malibu Barbie" by Charli XCX.[7] Thaís Matos of Brazilian website G1 noted the absence of the tecnobregaorfunk sound Vittar's previous releases incorporated.[3]
The "Flash Pose" music video premiered one day after the song on the Grindr app, and later, on YouTube.[8][9]
Mike Wass of Idolator called the song a highlight on its parent album.[10] Suzy Exposito of Rolling Stone placed the music video on a list of the 10 best Latin music videos of July.[11] Alex Blynn praised the single, writing: "The track feels eminently danceable, fun as hell and offer[ing] a new take on classic Pabllo-sounds".[1]
