"5 in the Morning" is a single by English singer Charli XCX. It was released on 31 May 2018 by Asylum Records and Atlantic Records UK as the first installment from a series of monthly single releases.[1]
Olivia Horn of Pitchfork labeled the song as fitting "comfortably within the worldview that Charli outlined on Pop 2", and named it a "victory lap since last year's Pop 2 mixtape".[2] Alex Kazemi of Paper labeled the song as a "goth-infused afterparty aligned with the harsh emotion behind her new-wave debut album True Romance".[3]
The music video for "5 in the Morning" was released on 27 June 2018. The video was directed by Bradley & Pablo, who previously shot her "Vroom Vroom" music video, and features XCX strutting around an empty warehouse surrounded by club lights.[4]
Throughout her opening acts on the Reputation Tour, XCX performed the song in every setlist. XCX also performed a live Fader session of the song uploaded in July 2018.[5]
