Out of Myself Lyrics – Charli XCX

Read the full lyrics of “Out of Myself” by Charli XCX from the album Wuthering Heights. Here, we have shared the complete “Out of Myself” Lyrics along with its music video, deeper meaning and song credits.

In the most exciting twist of her post-Brat era, Charli XCX has quietly positioned the unreleased song “Out of Myself” as a centerpiece in her forthcoming Wuthering Heights soundtrack — a 12-track departure from her glitter-soaked electropop past into a tempestuous, literary soundscape born from Emily Brontë’s classic novel. Slated to arrive alongside Emerald Fennell’s film adaptation on February 13, 2026, the soundtrack, distributed by Atlantic Records, sees Charli applying her fearless pop instincts to a darker, emotive terrain. “Out of Myself” sits mid-list among evocative titles like House, Wall Of Sound and Chains Of Love, hinting at an internal confrontation at the heart of this project.

Unlike Charli’s bold, boundary-pushing singles from Brat — which fused hyperpop and synth-driven hooks with themes of self-assertion and clubland glamour — “Out of Myself” seems poised to explore fragmentation and identity through the novel’s gothic lens. Though specific lyric sheets haven’t yet been released, the song’s title alone suggests a theme of psychological dislocation: a singer poised between inner turmoil and external narrative, echoing Brontë’s Heathcliff-Catherine push-pull of desire, loss and obsession. Early commentary from Charli on the Wuthering Heights project reveals she wanted the overall music to feel raw, wild, s*xual, gothic, British, tortured, stepping away from her usual pop vernacular toward something more visceral and atmospheric.

In crafting this body of work Charli collaborated closely with longtime creative partner Finn Keane alongside producers like Nathan Klein and Justin Raisen, leaning into layered, often cinematic sound design rather than straightforward radio pop. The Wuthering Heights album, which follows her 2024 chart-blazing Brat and its expansive remix editions, reflects Charli’s post-album creative recharge after a period she described as emotionally barren, creatively exhausted and hungry for new contexts beyond standard pop frameworks. She has openly framed this soundtrack as a chance to escape into otherworldly emotional extremes rather than simply top the charts.

Musically and thematically, “Out of Myself” likely occupies the space in this soundtrack where Charli interrogates self-alienation and transformation. Where her previous hits — from the razor-sharp introspection of Apple to experimental collaborations like Hot Girl for film — harnessed upbeat electronic genres to examine social identity, here she channels that energy into more somber textures and theatrical tension. The very act of placing this song within a project tied to a gothic narrative suggests Charli is probing the boundaries between self and story, exploring how lovers and singers lose and redefine themselves through emotional violence and longing.

This track’s language will remain rooted in English but filtered through Charli’s signature blend of vulnerability and sharp wit, balancing poetic introspection with visceral impact. At this stage no official duration or featured guest is public, but given the company it keeps — juxtaposed with a Sky Ferreira-featured track elsewhere on the soundtrack — “Out of Myself” is positioned to be one of the emotional fulcrums of a record that defies pure genre, slipping between synth-tinged pop, cinematic ambience and gothic drama. Lyrical themes are expected to wrestle with inner conflict, the shattering of selfhood, and the resonance of love and loss as modern emotion and classic tragedy converge under Charli’s unmistakable voice.
