"Apple" is a song by English singer Charli XCX taken from her sixth studio album Brat. It was written by Charli XCX, George Daniel, Linus Wiklund and Noonie Bao, and produced by XCX, A. G. Cook, Daniel and Wiklund. The song was released to Italian radio through Warner Records on 2 August 2024 as the third single from the album and subsequently in the United States on 10 September 2024. The electro and synth-pop song touches upon themes of intergenerational trauma and XCX's connection with her family, featuring some idiomatic expressions with the fruit apple.
Critics commended the song for being an energetic and catchy song. Commercially, the song managed to peak inside the top-ten in the United Kingdom and Ireland, while also charting inside the top-twenty in Australia and top-forty in five other countries. In the United States, it peaked at number 51 and 12 on the Pop Airplay chart. It went viral on TikTok shortly afterwards, spawning a dance craze on the platform. "Apple" earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Solo Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. The song is also part of both Sweat and Brat Tour (2024).
