Charli XCX reveals that the remix of ‘Girl, so confusing’ was Lorde’s idea: ‘I didn’t even ask’

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

This time, the singer confessed that the remix was the idea of ​​the artist behind “Royals” (via NME): “I had to go through the process of telling her [Lorde] that this song is about her and I had to wait for her to be okay with it first. We tried to meet up for almost a year and we kept having this weird thing, like, we would [nos encontrar]so we didn’t. That was reflected in the narrative of the song itself. In the end, it didn’t work out.”

So the day before the record came out, I left her a voicemail. [Lorde] She responded immediately and was like, ‘Oh my God, I had no idea you felt that way. I’m so sorry.’ And then she said, ‘Maybe I should be on a version of the song.’ I didn’t even ask her. She suggested it.

“So much of this release was planned, but sometimes it wasn’t,” he continued. “The remix of Lord from ‘Girl, so confusing’ is a perfect example. This was not planned. It took three days in total.”

Envy

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” — “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”, in free translation.

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

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