Charli XCX's latest single, "Chains of Love," is set to become synonymous with the iconic romance novel 'Wuthering Heights,' courtesy of its inclusion in a new trailer for Emerald Fennel's long-awaited film adaptation. The song, which marks Charli's second release in four days, follows the lead-up to her February album, also titled 'Wuthering Heights', due out on February 13.
"Chains of Love" is an emotional rollercoaster of a track that captures the turmoil and desperation of being trapped in love. The lyrics are raw and unapologetic, with Charli singing about laying down in thorns, drowning in a stream, and lighting herself on fire rather than face her pain. The song's bombastic hook has been amplified in the movie trailer, where it plays out against the backdrop of a star-crossed romance between Catherine Earnshaw (Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff.
The 'Wuthering Heights' album will serve as an official soundtrack to Fennel's film adaptation, which is set to hit theaters on Valentine's Day 2026. Charli XCX has collaborated with producer Finn Keane once again, who also worked on tracks like "Von Dutch" and "Sympathy Is a Knife". The inclusion of "Chains of Love" in the trailer has generated significant buzz around the project, highlighting Fennel's vision to bring this classic tale to life for a new generation.
The film adaptation promises to be an epic love story, with Robbie and Jacob Elordi taking on the iconic roles of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. With Charli XCX's "Chains of Love" set to become synonymous with this timeless romance, fans can expect an unforgettable viewing experience that will leave a lasting impression.

I'm so excited about this new trailer for Emerald Fennel's 'Wuthering Heights' film adaptation! 
Charli XCX's "Chains of Love" is already giving me all the feels 
, and I can only imagine how intense it'll be in the movie. The way she pours her heart out in that song is so raw and real, it's like you're right there with her experiencing the pain and desperation. 
And can we talk about Margot Robbie as Catherine Earnshaw? 
She's going to bring such depth and emotion to this iconic role! 
I'm already counting down the days until Valentine's Day 2026 when the movie hits theaters... it's gonna be a wild ride! 
And Charli XCX is such a great fit for this soundtrack - her music just feels so timeless and iconic. Can't wait to see the movie in 2026! 
i am SOOOO hyped about charli xcx's new single "chains of love"!!! 
and now that its in the trailer for emerald fennell's wuthering heights adaptation... i'm literally DYING 
can't wait to see margot robbie and jacob elordi bring heathcliff and catherine to life on screen!! 
and of course, charli xcx's "chains of love" is gonna be EVERYTHING 
... but at the same time, I'm super stoked to see Emily Brontë's 'Wuthering Heights' come to life on the big screen 
! Charli XCX's "Chains of Love" is so hauntingly beautiful 
. But, like, shouldn't we be getting more than just a one-dimensional romance story? 
I mean, wouldn't it be cool if the film explored some deeper themes, like social class or mental health? 
... but, on the other hand, maybe that's just too complicated for a romantic drama 
. Ugh, I'm all over the place with this one 
emerald fennel is basically rehashing the same old storylines and now charli xcx gets to profit off it? 
"chains of love" sounds like some intense emotional drama, can't say I blame her for wanting to make a name for herself but ugh this whole thing just feels so... cliché 
Can't wait for February 13th 
. This film adaptation is definitely going to be a game-changer
