  • 5 In The Morning – Charli XCX

    I know your type, think you’re one in a million

    Your diamonds are fake, you ain’t golden

    But I only fuck with the ones who are rare enough

    Real enough, down to keep goin’

    It’s 5 in the mornin’

    And I’m goin’ all in, I’m busy ballin’

    Funny how wherever I wanna go

    You wanna be there too

    Pull up and stunt with your clique (Clique)

    Glacier all up on your wrist (Wrist)

    Think you’re the sickest like you got diseases

    But you ain’t got nothing on this

    I can see you talk, got a big mouth (Blah, blah, blah, blah)

    Would you stick around for the comedown? (Come down, yeah!)

    Wait for me heaven, I’m here ’til I die

    Ah, ah

    I ain’t even stoppin’ (Yeah)

    I’m in my element every day

    Birthday cake, you want a piece ’cause it’s tasty

    We on a roll, we don’t stop ’til the bottles all popped

    And the pills got me wasted

    It’s 5 in the mornin’ and I’m goin’ all in

    I’m busy ballin’

    Funny how wherever I wanna go

    You wanna be there too

    Pull up and stunt with your clique (Clique)

    Glacier all up on your wrist (Wrist)

    Think you’re the sickest like you got diseases

    But you ain’t got nothing on this

    I can see you talk, got a big mouth (Blah, blah, blah, blah)

    Nightlife Ambition and Unstoppable Energy

    “5 In The Morning” by Charli XCX is a bold declaration of ambition and relentless drive, set against the backdrop of late-night revelry. The lyrics capture the thrill of outlasting everyone else, with Charli exuding confidence as she goes “all in” while the world sleeps. There’s an undercurrent of critique aimed at superficiality—Charli calls out those who flaunt status symbols but lack substance, positioning herself as someone who values authenticity and perseverance above all.

    Chasing Dreams and Outshining the Competition

    The song’s repeated reference to “5 in the morning” is more than just a timestamp; it’s a metaphor for pushing boundaries and living without limits. Charli’s devotion to her craft and lifestyle is unwavering, and she challenges anyone who tries to match her pace. This anthem encapsulates the spirit of chasing dreams, outshining pretenders, and refusing to slow down, even when the night gives way to dawn.

  • A Princess Song – Charli XCX

    I could sit here all day

    Bruising my skin and watching the waves

    I could sit here all day in your sunshine eyes

    I could stay here this way

    Guiding your hand as we lie in the shade

    I could stay here in your inner sea home

    Let’s run from the kingdom

    Let’s take all the treasure

    Let’s hide in this magic forever and ever

    ‘Cause you set me free

    You set me free

    And I know that it’s wrong, but it’s innocent fun

    And you set me free

    You set me free

    Just you, and all the other boys too

    You make me scream on the outside

    Make me reveal all my colors to you

    You make me want to untie all my soul strings

    You make me live in the lie

    Box up the truth, push it to the side

    You make me smile as I sink deeper into your ocean

    Let’s dance with the dolphins

    Let’s lie in the flowers

    Let’s swing from this starlight for hours and hours

    ‘Cause you set me free

    You set me free

    And I know that it’s wrong, but it’s innocent fun

    And you set me free

    You set me free

    Just you, and all the other boys too

    I’ll stay in the field and I’ll be waiting for you

    I’ll be waiting for you

    I’ll be waiting, just waiting

    I’ll stay in the field and I’ll be waiting for you

    I’ll be waiting for you

    I’ll be waiting, waiting

    I’ll stay in the field and I’ll be waiting for you

    I’ll be waiting, just waiting for you, yeah

    I’ll stay in the field and I’ll be waiting for you

    I’ll be waiting for you

    I’ll be waiting, waiting

    Escaping Into Fantasy and Freedom

    Charli XCX’s “A Princess Song” invites listeners into a dreamy, escapist world where love and innocence intertwine. The imagery of ocean waves, sunshine eyes, and magical kingdoms creates a poetic landscape where the singer seeks solace and freedom in a romantic connection. There’s an undercurrent of rebellion—running from the kingdom and hiding in magic—suggesting a desire to break away from expectations and embrace a more carefree, playful existence.

    The Complexity of Innocent Fun

    Beneath the whimsical surface, the song explores the tension between innocence and mischief. Lines like “I know that it’s wrong, but it’s innocent fun” reveal a playful contradiction, capturing the thrill and guilt of secret feelings. The repeated motif of being “set free” reinforces the idea that love can be both liberating and dangerously intoxicating, especially when it’s shared with more than one person.

    Did I lose my perspective?

    Everything’s still romantic, right?

    Headphones on, I hit “Play”

    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.

  • Rewind – Charli XCX ft. bladee

    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

    “Rewind” by Charli XCX featuring bladee dives deep into the desire to turn back time and escape the stresses of the present. The lyrics express a longing to revisit a simpler past, contrasted with the pressures of fame, self-image, and relentless ambition. Charli XCX’s introspective verses reveal a struggle with identity, as mirrored in lines about not recognizing herself and feeling unimpressed by her reflection. The repetition of wanting to “rewind” and the mention of a “requiem for everything” add a haunting sense of nostalgia and loss, capturing the emotional toll of chasing success in a hyper-competitive world.

  • So i – Charli XCX ft. A. G. Cook

    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

    Now I wanna

    Reflecting on Creative Friendship

    “So i” by Charli XCX featuring A. G. Cook is a heartfelt ode to the shared history, creativity, and deep bond between two pioneering artists. The lyrics read like a scrapbook of vibrant memories, from early collaborations in Stockholm to unforgettable nights at Arcosanti and playful studio sessions. Charli’s nostalgic storytelling highlights not just musical milestones, but intimate, everyday moments—late-night Ubers, spontaneous DJ sets, and emotional conversations—that shaped their journey.

    Moments That Changed Everything

    The song captures how collaboration can become transformative, with references to iconic performances, style experiments, and the discovery of A. G. Cook’s music changing Charli’s artistic path. The refrain, “Now I wanna think about all the good times,” becomes a mantra, urging listeners to cherish the connections and experiences that define who we are. The track stands as a celebration of friendship, creativity, and the joy found in looking back together.

  • Girl, so confusing featuring lorde – Charli XCX

    Girl. It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Girl. It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Girl. How do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl, girl)

    How do you feel being a girl? (Girl)

    Man, I don’t know. I’m just a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Yeah, I don’t know if you like me

    Sometimes I think you might hate me

    Sometimes I think I might hate you

    Maybe you just wanna be me

    You always say, “Let’s go out.”

    So we go eat at a restaurant

    Sometimes it feels a bit awkward

    ‘Cause we don’t have much in common

    People say we’re alike

    They say we’ve got the same hair

    We talk about making music

    But I don’t know if it’s honest

    Can’t tell if you wanna see me

    Falling over and failing

    And you can’t tell what you’re feeling

    I think I know how you feel

    Girl. It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Girl. It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Girl. How do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl, girl)

    How do you feel being a girl? (Girl)

    Man, I don’t know. I’m just a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Well, honestly, I was speechless

    When I woke up to your voice note

    You told me how you’d been feeling

    Let’s work it out on the remix

    You’d always say, “Let’s go out.”

    But then I’d cancel last minute

    I was so lost in my head

    And scared to be in your pictures

    ‘Cause for the last couple years

    I’ve been at war in my body

    I tried to starve myself thinner

    And then I gained all the weight back

    I was trapped in the hatred

    And your life seemed so awesome

    I never thought for a second

    My voice was in your head

    “Girl, you walk like a bitch”

    When I was ten, someone said that

    And it’s just self-defence

    Until you’re building a weapon

    She believed my projection

    And now I totally get it

    Forgot that inside the icon

    There’s still a young girl from Essex

    People say we’re alike

    They say we’ve got the same hair

    It’s you and me on the coin

    The industry loves to spend

    And when we put this to bed

    The Internet will go crazy

    I’m glad I know how you feel

    ‘Cause I ride for you, Charli (Charli)

    Girl. It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Girl. It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Girl. How do you feel being a girl? (Girl, girl, girl)

    How do you feel being a girl? (Girl)

    Man, I don’t know. I’m just a girl (Girl, girl, girl, girl)

    Girl, girl

    It’s so confusing

    (Girl, girl) You know I ride for you, too

    It’s so confusing-ing

    Unpacking the Layers of Friendship and Identity

    “Girl, so confusing” featuring Lorde finds Charli XCX diving into the complexities of female relationships under the spotlight. The song uses a candid, conversational style to capture the emotional push-pull between admiration, rivalry, and vulnerability. Charli and Lorde reflect on how public perceptions, industry pressures, and personal insecurities can twist even the most well-intentioned friendships. The recurring hook—”It’s so confusing sometimes to be a girl”—underscores the relatable struggle of navigating self-worth, body image, and connection with others, especially when both are in the limelight. Ultimately, the track evolves from uncertainty to mutual understanding, as both artists acknowledge their shared experiences and pledge support for each other.

    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.

  • I think about it all the time – Charli XCX ft. Bon Iver

    [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)
