According to BrooklynVegan, the single is titled “House” and serves as the first release from the Wuthering Heights soundtrack. The teaser clip, which runs for about ten seconds, gives listeners only a small taste of the song’s atmosphere. 

This project continues Charli XCX’s move toward more ambitious and unconventional collaborations. After her recent success with Brat and other experimental releases, teaming up with John Cale reflects her growing interest in blending pop with artistic depth. Cale’s involvement also adds historical weight given his influence on experimental and classical-inspired music. The upcoming adaptation of Wuthering Heights is expected to have a haunting tone, and this track could set the emotional mood for the entire soundtrack.

For now, the teaser has sparked curiosity about the full version of “House.” Fans are wondering how Charli and Cale’s distinct styles will merge and whether the song will lean more toward cinematic pop or art rock. With such a brief preview available, anticipation continues to build as listeners wait to see how this collaboration will sound in its entirety.
