"You're all about writing poems / But I'm about throwing parties": Charli XCX to Lorde on Girl, So Confusing
Charli XCX released her sixth studio album Brat to critical acclaim on Friday, June 7. The album and its deluxe edition contained 18 songs in total, with one among the plethora of tracks being Girl, So Confusing. According to Rolling Stone, the song dealt with the relationship between herself and Royals hitmaker Lorde.
In the track, Charli who has been long compared to Lorde with rumours of a frenemy relationship between the duo, sings about her mixed feelings for Lorde. She talked about the internet comparing their similar hair and talking about how they were alike despite in reality the duo having very little in common. XCX explains in her second verse:
"You're all about writing poems / But I'm about throwing parties / Think you should come to my party /And put your hands up / I think we're totally different / But opposites do attract / Maybe we're so meant to be / Just you and me."
On Friday, July 21, Charli XCX released a remix of the song featuring Lorde herself titled The girl, so confusing version with lorde. In Lorde's verse on the track, the singer talked about dealing with body issues and canceling on XCX to avoid being seen in pictures together. Lorde also revealed that she was once jealous of Charli XCX and forgot that underneath her status as an icon, Charli was "still that young girl from Essex."
