Charli xcx - The girl, so confusing version with lorde (official audio)

charlie: lorde do u hate me?? lorde: girl i have DEPRESSION

This is like, the polar opposite of a diss track

"Forgot that inside that icon there's still a young girl from Essex" Lorde's verse is so powerful and moving I've got chills

Diss tracks are over, "let's work this out" tracks are in

“let’s work it out on the remix” LORDEEEEE YOU FUCKING ATE THAT

This is art. Imagine cultivating the Lorde meme 10 years. Then releasing a song about a girl and people began speculating if it was about Lorde. Then actually releasing the remix with Lorde. I am in tears

"'Cause I ride for you Charli" "You know I ride for you too" made me CRY

“but it’s just self defense until you’re building a weapon” god DAMN

"It's you and me on the coin the industry loves to spend." DAMN.

LORDE IS TALKING TO CHARLI. LIKE IN A CONVERSATION. OH MY GOD

This is Girlhood. Charli being like "Oi chav, you hate me?" and Lorde responding "Naur, just depression". Being a girl truly is confusing. Props to Charli for being on top of it this time and reaching out, in particular in the context of the lyrics in "So I..." regarding SOPHIE. 💚

Lorde talking openly about her mental health and "Forgot that inside that icon, there's still a young girl from Essex," not me crying??? Remix's are usually so ass nowadays because it's only about charts, feels like the artists don't even care if we ever listen to it again. But this is special, legit ugly crying. Another collab isn't enough, I need a joint album before the world ends omg. The girls are magic together 💫

the anthem to that confusing female friendship but u treasure it too much to lose it and forget about it

“id ride for you charli” 😭🥹

this is like soooo human??? wonder how many relationships could be saved if people just communicated like these two

Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, how do you feel being a girl? Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, how do you feel being a girl? Girl, girl Man, I don't know, I'm just a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Yeah, I don't know if you like me Sometimes I think you might hate me Sometimes I think I might hate you Maybe you just wanna be me You always say, "Let's go out" So we go eat at a restaurant Sometimes it feels a bit awkward 'Cause we don't have much in common People say we're alike They say we've got the same hair We talk about making music But I don't know if it's honest Can't tell if you wanna see me Falling over and failing And you can't tell what you're feeling I think I know how you feel Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, how do you feel being a girl? Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, how do you feel being a girl? Girl, girl Man, I don't know, I'm just a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Well, honestly, I was speechless When I woke up to your voice note You told me how you'd been feeling Let's work it out on the remix You'd always say, "Let's go out," but then I'd cancel last minute I was so lost in my head and scared to be in the pictures 'Cause for the last couple years, I've been at war in my body I tried to starve myself thinner and then I gained all the weight back I was trapped in a hatred and your life seemed so awesome I never thought for a second my voice was in your head Girl, you walk like a bitch, when I was ten, someone said that And it's just self defense until you're building a weapon She believed my projection and now I totally get it Forgot that inside that icon there's still a young girl from Essex People say we're alike They say we've got the same hair It's you and me on the coin The industry loves to spend And when we put this to bed The internet will go crazy I'm glad I know how you feel 'Cause I ride for you, Charli Girl (Charli), it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, it's so confusing sometimes to be a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, how do you feel being a girl? Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, how do you feel being a girl? Girl, girl Man, I don't know, I'm just a girl Girl, girl, girl, girl Girl, girl (It's so confusing) You know I ride for you too (It's so confusing)

The lyricssss???????? The mutual jealousy????? The mutual love I LOVEEE

Just a dad in my Brat era

Nah Lorde's verse was raw af. Such a sweet thing to heal through a song c:

One thing lorde will never fail to do is WRITE. That girl is a master in songwriting no matter what the genre is.
