"Charlie" is a song by Australian musician Mallrat. It was released on 7 August 2019[1] as the lead single from Mallrat's third EP Driving Music. The song debuted at number 50 on the ARIA Charts in February 2020[2] after placing at number 3 in Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2019.[3]

The song is named after Mallrat's beloved family dog, Charlie. Mallrat told Triple J "'Charlie' is about a lot of different things, but mostly just loving people so much, regardless of whether it's reciprocated or not."[1][4]

In November 2019, Mallrat revealed that she had been asked to record a version of "Charlie" in the Simlish language for the upcoming addition in The Sims series.[5]
