"Flash Pose" is a song by Brazilian singer and drag queenPabllo Vittar featuring British singerCharli XCX. It was released on 25 July 2019 as the lead single off of Vittar's111 1 EP and111 album. The track is Charli XCX and Vittar's second collaboration, following "I Got It", which appears on Charli'sPop 2 mixtape and is followed by "Shake It", on the albumCharli.
In an interview withBillboard, Vittar explained her inspiration behind making the song entirely in English, saying "I did aPride tour in the U.S. and Canada this year, and there were a lot of fans there. They try to learnPortuguese so they can sing and communicate with me, so it's time for me to learn to speak their language too, right?"[1]
"Flash Pose" is Vittar's first English-language track. Musically, it is a "self-assured, club-ready"[2]electropop composition influenced byhouse music and "inspired by the globalPride parades at which [Vittar] performs".[3][4] It features a "percussive,electronic-tinged chorus",[5] "driving" beats[6] and "a roiling verse about wearing vintageVersace and party-hopping in a bright pink carà laMalibuBarbie" by Charli XCX.[7] Thaís Matos of Brazilian websiteG1 noted the absence of thetecnobrega orfunk sound Vittar's previous releases incorporated.[3]
The "Flash Pose" music video premiered one day after the song on theGrindr app, and later, onYouTube.[8][9]
Mike Wass ofIdolator called the song a highlight on its parent album.[10] Suzy Exposito ofRolling Stone placed the music video on a list of the 10 bestLatin music videos of July.[11] Alex Blynn praised the single, writing: "The track feels eminently danceable, fun as hell and offer[ing] a new take on classic Pabllo-sounds".[1]
