Charli XCX's New Single "Chains of Love" is Featured Prominently in the Trailer for 'Wuthering Heights' Film Adaptation.
Charli XCX has dropped her second single in just four days, "Chains of Love", which follows the recent release of "House" featuring John Cale. The song will be included on Charli's forthcoming album 'Wuthering Heights', set to soundtrack the highly anticipated film adaptation of Emily Brontë's classic novel.
In a bold move, both tracks have been released in advance of the movie's Valentine's Day 2026 release date and the accompanying album, which is set for February 13. The new single has been featured prominently in the 'Wuthering Heights' trailer, showcasing Charli XCX's unique voice as a tortured paramour, singing lines such as "I'd rather lay down in thorns/I'd rather drown in a stream".
The bombastic hook of "Chains of Love" is even more pronounced in the movie trailer, with Charli belting out "My face is turning blue/Can't breathe without you here/The chains of love are cruel/I shouldn't feel like a prisoner." The song has been produced by Finn Keane, who also collaborated with Charli on tracks such as "Von Dutch" and "Sympathy Is a Knife".
The 'Wuthering Heights' film trailer showcases the star-crossed love between Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, respectively. The release of "Chains of Love" in advance of the movie has only added to the anticipation for the film's release, and fans are eagerly awaiting their chance to experience this classic tale reimagined on the big screen.

I mean, we're seeing a lot of talented artists like Charli XCX getting some major exposure for her new single in the trailer for 'Wuthering Heights'.

The way they've featured her song in the 'Wuthering Heights' trailer is genius, it's giving me major feels 
I'm obsessed with the idea of a film adaptation, can't wait to see Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi bring Heathcliff and Catherine Earnshaw to life on screen 
... i mean, who thought it was a good idea to turn Wuthering Heights into a rom-com? 
charli xcx's music is literally just the soundtrack to some tragic love story... "chains of love" sounds like a total emotional rollercoaster, but let's be real, it's probably just going to make me cry while listening to it in bed at 3am 
i mean who wouldn't want to vibe out to a song called "chains of love" that's literally set to soundtrack the film adaptation of wuthering heights?
