Song of the Year 2025: When “Guess” Became a Defining Pop Moment
At the BRIT Awards 2025, the prestigious Song of the Year title was awarded to “Guess”, a genre-bending collaboration between Charli XCX and Billie Eilish. This groundbreaking track not only thrilled audiences with its sonic innovation but also highlighted a cultural shift in how pop is created, perceived, and celebrated.
For Charli XCX, this marked her first win in this major category—and a turning point in a career defined by fearless experimentation.
“Guess” – When Pop Knows No Boundaries
Released at the height of Charli’s Brat era, “Guess” quickly shot to the No.1 spot on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her first solo chart-topper in the UK. Featuring a haunting verse by Billie Eilish, the track combines hyperpop, electroclash, and alternative textures with raw, introspective lyrics that reflect emotional turbulence and a hunger for recognition.
