Speaking to The Box Plus Network, she explained: "I think there are a lot more things against women, in a lot of industries, not just the music industry. There are a lot fewer female producers, even if there are female producers, like, not many people give them credit for that.

"You know people always question if I'm actually a songwriter and whether a lot of female artists write their own songs. It's great for Beyonce to stand in front of a huge sign that says feminism, like that's only a good thing, because when I was like 12, 13, that image wasn't there for me in pop culture, you know? Not that I was aware of. But when Beyonce is standing in front of a sign, a 12-year-old girl, or guy, is going to be like, 'oh, cool that's what it is and Beyonce is talking about it, it's cool, I want to be into feminism'. So that's a great thing."

Charli went on to spend the weekend at the Billboard Women in Music event in New York City, after a month of promotion for her latest single 'After The Afterparty'.
