Charli XCX joined up with Lord and released a new version of “Girl, so confusing”, from her most recent album, Brat. The owner of the hit “Boom Clap” had already stated that Lord inspired the track.

In the remix, Lord sings: “Well, Honestly I was speechless / When I woke up to your voice note / You told me how you’ve been feeling / Let’s work it out on the remix” voice message / You told me how you’ve been feeling / Let’s work it into a remix”, in free translation.

The excerpt refers to a confession of Charliewho revealed that he was jealous of Lord in the past (via NME).

She liked my music. She had big hair; I had big hair. She wore black lipstick; I’ve already worn black lipstick. You create these parallels and think, ‘What could I have been.’ But I couldn’t, because we were completely different people.

Envy of a hit

Charli XCX she also revealed how she was “super jealous” of one of the biggest hits of her career Lord.

During an interview with Rolling Stone USA, Charlie commented on the “mental chaos” of being a woman in the music industry, as well as the taboo of envy among women.

“Being jealous is somehow wrongly equated with not supporting women or not being a girl, which is not true. I think you can be jealous and still be a good person who stands up for other women,” she said. “Envy just isn’t a very sexy feeling, or a really sexy trait, is it?”

Right away, Charli XCX was asked which favorite singer she was most envious of. In response, she pointed to the success of Lord.

“When ‘Royals’ came out, I was really jealous of the success that song and Lord obtained”, he said.

I didn’t make songs that sounded like ‘Royals.’

Finally, Charli XCX explained how she and Lord continue good friends: “You get over it and then you try to discover all the unique things about yourself, and you chase that. Then probably five months from now you’ll have a meltdown about something else.”
