CHARLI XCX fans have been on edge after the singer changed her message on a Brooklyn wall on Monday.
The singer, who released her Brat album in early June, previously wrote the title on a bright green wall in Brooklyn, New York, to promote the release.
However, Charli, 31, changed the word “brat,” written in black, to say “ok, bye!” in all lowercase letters.
Seeming as if the I Love It hitmaker had officially ended her “brat era,” some fans were scared of what the updated phrase could mean for her new album.
On Monday night, Charli put fans at ease with a few tweets regarding the marketing move.
“Brat summer is only just beginning :),” she clarified.
The pop star also reposted a news outlet that reported on her “ending her ‘brat’ era,” clarifying that the wall change had nothing to do with the new album.
“Well no just goodbye brat wall.. rip brat wall you will always be famous,” Charli wrote.
Fans have had a strong reaction to the mural’s change, with one responding that Charli had left them “so scared.”
“Ummmmm no…. Don’t play in our face, we are not done yet miss Charli!” a second tweeted at first.
“What happened to having a brat summer.. omg,” another wrote.
After the English singer eased fans, some began to speculate that she may have been hinting at what’s to come on a possible deluxe album.
“CHARLI “OK BYE !” Its the name of the álbum remix yes or no ?” one person asked the singer.
“REMIX ALBUM NOW,” another demanded.
“We can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve next,” someone else added.
BRAT SUMMER
The Brooklyn wall directly mimics the simple design of Charli’s highly-recognized album, which features just a bright green background with the title in black text.

Deluxe tracks: Hello Goodbye, Guess, and Spring Breakers
Brat is the sixth studio album by the artist and was released through Atlantic Records on June 7.
Three days later, Charli dropped a small deluxe album with three extra songs, titled, brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not.
The new songs include the hits Hello Goodbye, Guess, and Spring Breakers, which have a more upbeat and club-oriented vibe than other songs on the album.
Charli rose to fame in 2012 after collaborating with the Swedish duo Icona Pop on the hit song, I Love It.
She released her debut studio album, True Romance, just one year later.
