ARIA-nominated pop songstress Charley returns with her new single “Limerence,” the follow-up to September’s “Cherries.”
Written alongside Oskar Widén (KATSEYE, NOTD) and Louise Udin (FIFTY FIFTY) in Sweden, “Limerence” is a shift from the sultry tones of “Cherries,” with an urgent, walking-into-the-club pop beat underpinning a tale of addictive thrill and delusion that can occur in the early stages of a relationship.

“Limerence is romantic obsession. You barely know someone, but you’ve already idealized them and built up this fantasy of what you could be together.” explains Charley. “”I wanted to write a song about those feelings – when you’re experiencing the greatest high and everything feels perfect. Even though, looking back, it’s quite toxic.”
Directed by close collaborator Luke McChesney, the visual follows Charley and her date on a night out, as she experiences overwhelming and euphoric feelings expressed in the song.
“We wanted to shoot something that reflected the story, where there is a whole party going on but all you can focus on is the object of your obsession. This one meant a lot to me because I had all my friends involved.”

About CHARLEY
Since releasing her acclaimed debut EP ‘TIMEBOMBS’ in 2023, which earned her an ARIA nomination for the Michael Gudinski Breakthrough Artist Award and debuted on the ARIA albums chart, Charley has cemented her position as one of Australia’s most exciting pop exports. With over 16 million combined streams and 1.5 million YouTube views to her name, she’s embarked on sold-out headline tours, supported major acts including Stephen Sanchez, G-Flip, Griff and FLETCHER, and delivered show-stopping performances at SXSW.
Her previous singles ‘Hard For Me’, ‘Arizona’, and ‘I Suck At Being Lonely’ – the latter earning her a Top 4 position at Eurovision Australia Decides in 2022 – have showcased her ability to blend vulnerability with infectious pop sensibilities. Her Valentine’s Day 2024 cover of Paramore’s ‘Still Into You’ as a global Amazon Music Original further demonstrated her versatility, amassing over 100,000 streams in its first week.
Drawing inspiration from powerhouse vocalists like Kelly Clarkson, Ariana Grande, and Paramore, as well as contemporary artists including Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Troye Sivan, Charley describes her sound as “yearning while crying while dancing” – a perfect encapsulation of the emotional complexity that defines her artistry.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
