Charli XCX released the video song of the remix version of her hit track, Guess, from her summer album Brat, featuring Billie Eilish on August 1, 2024.

Netizens reacted excitedly to the new remix, especially after X user @briandetonate claimed the video was shot on the same set as Katy Perry's Woman's World. The user shared images of Eilish and Perry from their respective videos, suggesting they were shot in the same location. However, no source confirms the exact location of either video, despite the similarities in the images.

The post led to fans having mixed reactions on X. Some considered it a great crossover while others poked fun, alleging the singers needed more budget. Here are some of the reactions:

"next remix together" a fan said.
"I knew that street looks familiar lmao" another user claimed.
"well yes it's a famous hollywood set" an individual said.
"i noticed that too lmao! i think it’s the paramount backlot in LA" a user alleged.

Some users claimed the set was located in the Universal Studios and others poked fun at the supposed lack of budget.

"It looks like the universal studios backlot," an X user mentioned.
"They need more budget," one fan quipped.
"Is that not Universal Studios?," a fan questioned.
"Apparently they all chipped in and filmed both videos in the same session to ease the financial burden" a user shared.

Charli XCX's Guess remix video was directed by Aidan Zamiri. It features Charli singing the lyrics of the popular track at a party while everyone throws their undergarments up in the air.

Eilish's cameo featured the singer making a grand entry in a tractor while lending her voice to her lines. The duo together drive around a street full of undergarments in the video.

On July 31, Charli XCX shared a mysterious image of herself with her collaborator in the Guess remix video, without revealing Billie Eilish's identity on her Instagram. The singer shared a black-and-white snap of them together, with the caption "Guess?".

While some fans remained confused, other netizens guessed that the collaborator was Billie Eilish because of the rings she was wearing on her fingers in the image. As per several reports, Eilish was wearing the same rings in her recent Chicken Shop interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg.

Billie's brother and collaborator, Finneas O'Connell, confirmed the collaboration on August 1. He reposted the remix's video teaser from Charli XCX's Instagram on his story and wrote:

"This was like, too much fun to make.”

According to Variety, Billie and Finneas hinted at the singer's upcoming collaboration with Charli XCX in a recent interview with Zane Lowe. Eilish said that she was "nervous" about working with another artist after a long time as she hadn't worked with anyone but her brother for years. She added:

“I was really nervous, because I haven’t worked with anyone but Finneas in six years, and I hated it back in the day.”

Finneas O'Connell shared further details about how the collaboration happened, allegedly talking about Charli XCX. He said:

"Billie was sitting and telling me why she loved this one artist, and we were watching their music videos together and I know them, and I was texting them like, ‘We’re sitting here watching your stuff, it’s so good.’ They were like, ‘I’m in L.A.’ I was like, ‘You want to do a day?'”

Hours before releasing her Guess remix video, Charli XCX confirmed her collaboration with a video teaser mentioning Eilish. The short clip featured Charli calling out to the singer with "Hey Billie, you there?" and it ended with a shot of them lying down on a pile of undergarments together.

As per Billboard, all bras and underwear used in the Guess music video were donated to an organization called I Support The Girls. The organization collects and distributes essential items of women's hygiene, such as menstrual pads, bras, and undergarments to the homeless and the needy.

Charli XCX's sixth studio album, Brat, has been immensely successful among the audience and has become a cultural phenomenon. The lime green aesthetic and the theme of the album have resonated with the masses.
