Allergic To Love – Charli XCX

Maybe I should just sue you

‘Cause you got me a rash over my heart

I can’t whisper sweet words to you

We gotta make love ten feet apart

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-achoo

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-achoo

You gotta go now please ’cause you making me sneeze

Allergic to love

Ah-ah-achoo

Oh-ewie-ewie-ewie-ewie-ah-choo

Gooey-goo and never stop

Can you pretty please hand me a tissue?

I’m coming down with a fever hard

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-achoo

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-achoo

Oh baby I can’t lose with the stuff I choose

Allergic to love

Ah-ah-achoo

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-achoo

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-achoo

You gotta go now please ’cause you making me sneeze

Allergic to love

Ah-ah-achoo

Playful Heartbreak: Analyzing “Allergic To Love”

Charli XCX’s “Allergic To Love” turns heartache into a whimsical, almost tongue-in-cheek experience. The lyrics cleverly use allergy metaphors—rashes, sneezing, and fevers—to capture the discomfort and complications of falling for someone when love itself feels overwhelming or even hazardous. Each “ah-ah-achoo” becomes a catchy refrain, underscoring the physical and emotional reactions that come with intense affection. The song’s infectious energy, paired with its vivid imagery, transforms romantic vulnerability into a playful narrative, making listeners both laugh and relate to the idea of being “allergic” to love’s chaos.
