Unleashing Chaos: A Bold Celebration

“Spring Breakers,” Charli XCX’s electrifying collaboration with Kesha, is a sonic riot that revels in unapologetic rebellion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of wild, fearless femininity, with both artists embracing their “crazy girl shit” and a defiant, party-centric attitude. Through their energetic delivery, Charli and Kesha mock societal expectations and competition, instead celebrating self-expression and the thrill of living dangerously. The recurring motif of being an outsider—”Never get invited ’cause I’m such a hater”—becomes a badge of honor, with both singers relishing the chaos they bring to the scene. This track is not just about partying; it’s a manifesto for anyone who refuses to play it safe and chooses to take up space, break rules, and own their power.

Walk to the studio soaking wet

ACAB tag on a bus stop sign

(Everything is, uh)

Catch a face in the window pane

“Oof, what’s up, that’s me, that’s mine”

(Everything is, uh)

Sleepy head ’cause all the fucking foxes kept me awake last night

(Everything is)

Charli calls from a hotel bed

Hungover on Tokyo time

(Everything is, uh)

[Charli XCX (Caroline Polachek):]

Hey, girl, what’s up, how you been?

I think I need your advice

(That’s crazy, I was just thinking of you)

(What’s on your mind?)

I’m trying to shut off my brain

I’m thinking ’bout work all the time

(It’s like you’re living the dream)

(But you’re not living your life)

I knew that you would relate

I feel smothered by logistics

Need my fingerprints on everything

Trying to feed my relationship

Am I in a slump?

Am I playing back time?

Did I lose my perspective?

Everything’s still romantic, right?

[Caroline Polachek:]

Late nights in black silk in East London

Church bells in the distance

Free bleeding in the autumn rain

Silver scratch card in The Canal

Romantic like six-pound wine

Dark in the park, Celtic graves

Girl throws up from the back of a line

Headphones on, I hit “Play”

All things change at the blink of an eye

Charli calls from a photo set

(Living that life is romantic, right?)

Finding Beauty in Chaos

“Everything is romantic” by Charli XCX featuring Caroline Polachek captures the allure of everyday moments, embracing the chaos and mundanity of life as portals to romance. The song’s repetitive motifs of “falling in love again and again” mirror the cyclical nature of passion and the human search for meaning, even in the most unexpected places. Vivid imagery—like late nights in East London, church bells in the distance, and walking to the studio soaking wet—grounds the song in real, tactile experiences. Through candid conversations and fleeting snapshots, Charli and Caroline reflect on vulnerability, exhaustion, and the longing for connection, ultimately asking whether everything in life can still feel romantic, no matter how overwhelming or ordinary it may seem.

Hey, Billie, you there?

Uh-uh

You wanna guess the colour of my underwear

You wanna know what I got goin’ on down there

Is it pretty in pink or all see-through?

Is it showin’ off my brand-new lower-back tattoo?

You wanna put ’em in your mouth, pull ’em all down south

You wanna turn this shit out, that’s what I’m talkin’ about

Pu-pu-pu-put ’em in your mouth, pull ’em all down south

You wanna turn this shit out, that’s what l’m talkin’ about (Yeah)

Try it, bite it, lick it, spit it

Pull it to the side and get all up in it

Wear ’em, post ’em, might remix it

Send ’em to The Dare, yeah, I think he’s with it

Try it, bite it, lick it, spit it

Pull it to the side and get all up in it

Wear ’em, post ’em, might remix it

Eat it up for lunch, yeah, it’s so delicious

(Work it out)

Don’t have to guess the color of your underwear

Already know what you’ve got goin’ on down there

It’s that lacy black pair with the little bows

The ones I picked out for you in Tokyo

I saw them when you sat down, they were peekin’ out

I’m gonna tell you right now, they’re all I’m thinkin’ about

I wanna try it, bite it, lick it, spit it

Pull it to the side and get all up in it

Kiss it, ride it, can I fit it?

Charli likes boys, but she knows I’d hit it

(Knows I’d hit it)

Charli, call me if you’re with it

Yeah, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess, guess

You wanna guess what me and Billie have been textin’ about? (We’ve been disrespectful)

Still tryin’ to guess the password to my Google Drive (Are you obsessed with me?)

You wanna guess the address of the party we’re at (You know you’re not invited)

You wanna guess if we’re serious about this song

Playful Provocation and Bold Chemistry

“Guess” by Charli XCX featuring Billie Eilish is a tongue-in-cheek exploration of flirtation, desire, and unapologetic confidence.

Now I wanna think about all the good times

First met on the outskirts of Stockholm

All of your things in a black suitcase

First day, made Vroom Vroom in the basement

Now I wanna think about all the good times

Head bop hard with your arm up, dancing

Hot pink jacket on, music turned up

Bounce that track, make us late to the party

Now I wanna think about all the good times

First time I ever felt alive on stage

In Texas, in matching latex

That’s as cool as I’m ever gonna feel

(Beautiful)

Now I wanna think about all the good times

Me and A.G. on Mulholland

Crazy Uber, straight from a video shoot

Got birthday cake on the way

Now I wanna think about all the good times

Best night ever in Arcosanti

So many friends right there in the audience

When I look back, what the fuck was I wearing?

Now I wanna think about all the good times

One big smile cracked the whole world open

Sipping green juice, looking so chic

Soft response while you play with the tension

Now I wanna think about all the good times

Like when we took Bibi down to Bubbles

Took our shoes off, ran around barefoot

Played that song we made that day

Now I wanna think about all the good times

DJ set back to back with Twiggy

She was nervous, you were so nice

Said you had the best time with her

Now I wanna think about all the good times

Me and Noonie cried to your songs

No songs ever made us feel that much

Can’t explain ’cause it’s just too much

Now I wanna think about all the good times

Talking on Zoom in 2020

Red hair brushed out, sat back home

Lyrics back and forth from texts

Now I wanna think about all the good times

Like the first time I heard your music

My ex-boyfriend played your SoundCloud

That moment really changed my life

(No, no, no)

(No, no, no-o-o-o)

(No, no, no)

(No, no, no-o-o-o)

(No, no, no, no)

Now I wanna think about all the good times (No, no, no, no)

(No, no, no, no)

Now I wanna think about all the good times (No, no, no, no)

(No, no, no)

(No, no, no-o-o-o)

(No, no, no)

(No, no, no-o-o-o)

(No, no, no, no)

(No, no, no, no)

(No, no, no, no)

(No, no, no, no)

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna think about all the good

Now I wanna

Now I wanna

Now I wanna

Sometimes, I just wanna rewind

Wanna turn back time to a different time, oh

Sometimes

I just wanna rewind, I just wanna rewind

I just wanna rewind (Press rewind)

Maybe I need a reality check

Sometimes now I just gotta say less

Count so well, drew lines on my chest

When I look in the mirror, I don’t see no reflect

All this money makes me competitive

Gotta get more, living all excess

I must confess, I’m under stress

Turn back the time again

I must confess, I’m under stress

I’m under pressure in my head

I’m six feet down beneath myself

I’m tryna catch up with my breath

Even with everything on deck (Yeah, yeah)

I’m only thinking about less

Thinking how to move like chess (Yeah, yeah)

The mirror leaves me unimpressed

Maybe I need a reality check (Yeah, yeah)

Sometimes now I just gotta say less

Wanna see my face all up in the press

When I don’t, sometimes I get a little bit depressed (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

L.A. makes me so competitive

Sometimes I wanna wake up dead

I must confess, I’m under stress

Turn back the time again

I’m in the hills, perfectly still

The sun is setting in my will (Yeah, yeah)

My mind is split up like two bills

I pay for everything myself

I kill for everything I feel

360, find a way to deal

The shadow spreads across the field (Oh)

I wanna rewind on the real (Press rewind, yeah)

Yeah, press rewind

Yeah, bring the beat back

Press rewind, yeah

Yeah, press rewind

(Yeah, yeah)

Requiem for everything

Rewind, remind me

Requiem for everything

Rewind, remind me

Requiem for everything

Rewind, remind me (Yeah)

Requiem for everything (Yeah, yeah)

Rewind, remind me (Yeah, yeah)

Reflecting on Time and Identity

[Bon Iver {Charli XCX}:]

Why do you search you heart? {I think about it all the time, that I might run out of time}

Why do you choose to move? {‘Cause maybe one day I might}

I’ll take your silences, fix ’em for customs, the signals make motion

You’re lonely and you’re (Scared to run out of time)

And you’re asking, “When did it get so hard?”

{Yeah} (When did it get so hard? When did it get so hard?)

(When did it get so hard? When did it g—) {Yeah}

[Charli XCX:]

First off, you’re bound to the album

Then you’re locked into the promo

Next thing, three years have gone by (Scared to run out of time)

Me and George sit down and try to plan for our future

But there’s so much guilt involved when we stop working

‘Cause you’re not supposed to stop when things start working, no

I found love, baby

But I was scared to run out of time

I think about it all the time

Was I made for this? I hope

Confused with all these feelings

I’m confused what’s on my mind

When I make a sacrifice

Just in the nick of time

I’m so scared to run out of time

[Bon Iver {Charli XCX}:]

{Oh, baby} (I found love)

I found peace

Does it all have to be so hard?

Sittin’ here

[Charli XCX:]

And I’m exactly the same, but I’m older now

And I got even more stress on my body

So, we had a conversation on the way home, “Should I stop my birth control?

‘Cause my career still feels small

In the existential scheme of it all.”

[Bon Iver {Charli XCX}:]

I tell you {Yeah}, I folded up

My friends say {Oh} I’ve fallen off

I’d be scared (Nothing’s in your way), aren’t you scared?

[Charli XCX:]

I’m so scared to run out of time

I’m so scared

Scared to run out of time, I (Mm-mm, mm-mm)

I think about it all the time

I’m scared to run out of time

(Scared to run out of time)

[Bon Iver (Charli XCX):]

(Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

(Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

(Time, time, t-time, t-time, t-time)

(Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

(Time, time, time, t-time, time, time)

I think about it all the time (Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

I found love, baby (Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

‘Cause our love ran out of time (Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

Love in the nick of time (Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

I found love (Time, time, t-time, t-time, time)

Somebody asked me how you’re doing

And I make excuses and I say you’re fine

I keep trying not to think about you, but I

Seem to think about you all the time

[The Japanese House (Charli XCX):]

When you made me, you made me so sad, so sad

(I wanna know where you go when you’re feeling alone, when you’re feeling alone, do you?)

(I’ve been looking at you so long, now I only see me)

(I wanna know where you go when you’re feeling alone, when you’re feeling alone, do you?)

(I’ve been looking at you so long, now I only see me)

And you make me, you’re making me so sad, so sad (Do you?)

[Charli XCX:]

Sometimes when I go home

It doesn’t feel like home

Don’t know if you can hear me

Inside this conversation

Sometimes when I go home

It doesn’t feel like home

Silently pack my things

Get in the car

I just wanna drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

You know I just wanna drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

You know I just wanna drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive

You know I just wanna drive, drive, drive, drive

You know I just wanna drive

Peering Into Intimacy and Identity

“Apple” by Charli XCX featuring The Japanese House invites listeners into a world of emotional entanglement, longing, and self-reflection. The repetition of lines like “I’ve been looking at you so long, now I only see me” sets a hypnotic tone, blurring the boundaries between two individuals locked in a complicated relationship. The lyrics explore the haunting aftermath of a connection that lingers, where curiosity about the other’s solitude reveals an undercurrent of unresolved feelings. As The Japanese House adds layers of vulnerability and distance, the song captures the aching push and pull of wanting to move on but being drawn back by memories and unspoken questions. Charli XCX’s closing lines evoke a need for escape, encapsulating the universal urge to drive away from emotional confusion and find clarity.

Too hot, when I sweat, just lick me

Touch and squeeze, when the bassline hits me
