That song, “Boom Clap” by Charli XCX, nicely complements the heartstring-tugging story — and the new official video is likely to please fans eager for the film. The clip plays like an extended preview, filled with more snapshots of Hazel’s and Gus’s love story. Filmed in Amsterdam, where much of the action in John Green’s bestselling book takes place, the video shows Charli exploring the same spots as featured in the film (ask your local tween for details) and then driving around in a disco-lit party bus for kicks. The darkly peppy song should help Charli breakthrough as an artist in her own right. After second chairing on Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and last year’s summer hit by Icona Pop “I Love It,” she’s ready for it. **MORE**: [Here Are 14 Songs Battling It Out For the Song of the Summer in 2014](http://time.com/119285/song-of-the-summer-2014/ "undefined") **MORE**: [Here Are the 25 Best Songs of 2014 (So Far)](http://time.com/2801365/best-songs-of-2014-so-far/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2818024/charli-xcx-fault-in-our-stars-boom-clap/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2818024/charli-xcx-fault-in-our-stars-boom-clap/"},"headline":"VIDEO: Watch Charli XCX's The Fault In Our Stars Clip for \"Boom Clap\"","datePublished":"2014-06-03T16:54:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T07:41:40.588Z","description":"A summer earworm centered around a much-anticipated film","url":"https://time.com/2818024/charli-xcx-fault-in-our-stars-boom-clap/","keywords":["Music","Videos","Music videos","Charli XCX","The Fault In Our Stars"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2818024/charli-xcx-fault-in-our-stars-boom-clap/","name":"VIDEO: Watch Charli XCX's The Fault In Our Stars Clip for \"Boom Clap\""}}]}] ```
