The convertible is the perfect nod to the singer’s iconic doll, whose discography is full of car references. (See: “Vroom Vroom”, crash and every verse of “I Love It.”)

At the wheel of the life-sized Barbie-mobile is none other than Internet It Girl Devon Lee Carlson (a cheeky reference to the song lyrics “Devon Lee smile teeth a white row”), who drops Charli off – and races off to spin donuts around her for the rest of the video.

Charli also gets a bit meta by pausing the music video within the music video when she gets a call from a colleague Barbie: The Album Contributor Sam Smith. During their call, the pop stars appear to announce an upcoming collaboration.

After the singer hangs up, Carlson shifts things up a notch as Charli launches into the song’s catchy chorus: “Ah, Barbie, you’re so amazing / You’re so amazing, you blow my mind.”

Styled by Chris Horan, Charli delivers her own lines (“And she wore really cute clothes”) in a white Maison Margiela bodysuit, knee-high Abra Paris boots, oversized sunglasses and a splash of Barbie pink in the form of an extra-long Marni scarf.

Aside from a whole lot of burning rubber—both figuratively and literally—the rest of the music video consists of Charli singing and dancing while the pink Corvette speeds around her—until it speeds out of frame and, judging by the sound, crashes.

Sam Smith makes a cameo appearance in the music video for “Speed ​​​​Drive” and teases his upcoming collaboration with Charli XCX.

The energetic video for the hyperpop jam, which Ramez Silyan and the singer herself directed together, is an entertaining reminiscence of the Barbie Scene in which the title appears.

The song is the soundtrack of an epic chase in which Barbie (Margot Robbie) flees from a horde of Mattel executives led by Will Ferrell as CEO.

Since its release in June, “Speed ​​Drive” has been streamed over 70 million times worldwide and peaked at number 9 on the Official UK Singles Chart. The song also entered the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the “Boom Clap” singer’s fifth song to chart in the US.
