Charli XCX and Billie Eilish donate 10,000 pairs of pants from new ‘Guess’ remix video
Charli XCX and Billie Eilish have donated 10,000 pairs of pants that were used in the video for their latest collaboration ‘Guess’ to charity.
Charli and Eilish joined forces yesterday (August 1) on a new remix of ‘Brat’ deluxe edition track ‘Guess’, which was co-produced by The Dare and Finneas.
In the video, ten thousand pairs of underwear were used – including in a scene where Eilish crashes into a pile of it while driving a bulldozer.
As the pair sing: “you wanna guess the colour of my underwear/ you wanna know what I’ve got going on down there”, the pants can be seen falling from the sky and lying in the street where they’re walking.
During the video’s credits, a message appears noting that all the unworn garments would be donated to I Support The Girls.
The charity, which is based in the US, works across the globe to distribute both underwear and period products to women experiencing “domestic violence, homelessness and hardship” (as per the BBC).
Writing on Twitter/X about the donation, the charity said: “We’re so lucky to be getting the formidable panty mountain!”
We’re loving the phrasing by Daniel Peters @NME : Featuring two pop stars, one bulldozer and “10 thousand panties.”

The collaboration with Eilish comes just a week after Charli revealed there is more new music on the way, responding to several op-eds that declared the end of her wildly successful ‘Brat summer’.
Among the countless ways that her album has taken over the summer is Chappell Roan sharing a selfie holding a CD copy of ‘Brat’, leading fans to believe that she will feature on a forthcoming Charli track, and Charli recently bringing the album’ to Ibiza for a ‘Party Girl’-inspired set at the Boiler Room.
As for Eilish, in June it was announced that the singer had become the third artist to reach 100million monthly Spotify listeners, and the youngest yet to reach the milestone.
In other news, fans are suspecting that some of the lyrics on ‘Guess’ from Charli XCX and Eilish might be a diss towards Taylor Swift.
