Ariana Grande will collaborate with Charli XCX on her remix album.
Charli's 'Brat And It’s Completely Different But Also Still Brat' will feature a number of artists including The 1975, Bon Iver, Lorde, Robyn, Troye Sivan and Billie Eilish and it has now been revealed that Ariana will join the line-up.
A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "Ariana loves 'Brat' and everything Charli stands for in the industry – she has been keeping a keen eye on her.
"They share a manager and when it was mentioned to her that Charli would like her to be on the album, she jumped at the chance.
"Charli has been a fan of hers for years, so she can’t quite believe her luck that they are going to have a song together."
The upcoming remix record will feature new versions of the tracks from 'Brat', but with special guests on each one.
Ariana's contribution was teased with a billboard in her native Florida last week.
Charli recently shared the track-listing, showing 11 songs referred to by track numbers with no proper names.
The named tracks are the remixes of '360' with Robyn and Yung Lean, 'Talk talk' with Troye, 'Von dutch' with Addison Rae, 'Girl, so confusing' with Lorde', and 'Guess' featuring Billie.
Describing a Brat girl, Charli has said: “That girl who is a little messy and likes to party and maybe says some dumb things sometimes. Who feels herself but maybe also has a breakdown.
“But kind of like parties through it, is very honest, very blunt. A little bit volatile. Like does dumb things. But it’s Brat. You’re Brat. That’s Brat.”
The album was nominated for this year's Mercury Prize, losing out to English Teacher's 'This Could Be Texas'.
