Charli XCX Releases 'Breaking Up' Video

12/03/2014
. (Radio.com) British pop star Charli XCX has been channeling American teenage experiences on the run up to her new album, Sucker--from the "Break the Rules" music video that pays homage to such teen screen gems as The Craft and Jawbreaker (featuring a cameo from Jawbreaker star, Rose McGowan) to the high school prom turned teen riot performance at this year's American Music Awards, XCX has clearly been looking at U.S. teen pop culture for inspiration.

The same can be said for the music video for her new single, "Breaking Up." Opening with a scene of the pop star enduring her basic bro/college football star bragging about how the hottest girls at school are vying for his attention, the video finds XCX giving him the brush off and hopping in a limo with her crew for a night of fun at a local bowling alley, where she performs the track with her band.

The fun and colorful clip plays like a tribute to the popular Delia's catalog from the '90s with eye-popping animation and flashback fashions. The boorish boyfriend is hardly off the hook, coming back at the end of the clip to beg for the singer's forgiveness. Watch it here.
