“claws” is the second single from Charli XCX’s 2020 quarantine project how i’m feeling now.
The track was first teased by Charli with lyrics she posted to her Twitter on April 8, 2020. She later played a vocal demo of the track on Instagram Live session on April 10, 2020, also revealing that Dylan Brady of 100 gecs produced the track.
Charli revealed that the track’s instrumental was tentatively called “Claws” in the same Instagram Live session. Charli took to Twitter to ask fans to help decide the song’s name and ended up sticking with “claws” on April 13, 2020.

1000 gecs is the debut studio album and successor to 100 gec’s first self-titled EP.
Released in early 2019, the album was positively received due to its aggressive production and wide variety of catchy vocal cadences. The critical success of 1000 gecs extends to multiple year-end lists, with Pitchfork ranking the album as the 42nd best of the year, Jon Pareles of the New York Times citing it as the 10th best, and Noisey declaring it as the best of the year.

Gecs in a nutshell. Another album that might evoke a similar response, though for different reasons, is Death Grips' The Money Store if you're not familiar with that either.
I love the song, but it makes me think that Lil Nas went on one horseback ride and wrote a song about how cowboy he is. It reminds me of Zoolander in the coal mine.
