February 2017 – Charli XCX


Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah

Know I keep on saying I’m alright

But every single night

When I cut off the lights

I feel like crying

Your picture revolving in my mind

But then it turns to white

I guess I’ll go in blind

I feel like crying

Hope you can forgive all of my crimes

You read, but won’t reply

I just need your reply

I feel like crying

Baby, all I need’s a single night

A sign, a sign, give me a sign

Sorry I broke you down

Sorry I tore your heart

I ripped it all apart

Your headlights in the dark

Sorry ’bout Grammy night

Was flyin’ out my mind

Was in a different place

Tortured and drifting by

Kept dancing in that house

The windows turned to black

My windows turned to black

My eyes were rolling back, yeah

Hope I get one more chance

Hope I get one more call

I only know what’s good once I have lost it all

Lost it all, lost it all, lost it all

Lost it all, lost it all, lost it all

Hope you can forgive the things I’ve done

(Things I’ve done, things I’ve done)

Hope you can forgive the things I’ve done

(Things I’ve done, things I’ve done)

Hope you can forgive the things I’ve done

(Things I’ve done, things I’ve done)

Hope you can forgive the things I’ve done

(Things I’ve done, things I’ve done)

Reply, reply, give me a sign

Yeah

소-소-소심했던 나의

그 한 마디

미안하다고

사과하고 싶어도

너무 늦은 걸까?

Raw Emotion and Regret: Breaking Down “February 2017”

Charli XCX’s “February 2017” is a heartfelt confession woven with vulnerability and longing. The lyrics chronicle the aftermath of a fractured relationship, where regret and self-blame are at the forefront. Repeated apologies and pleas for forgiveness paint a vivid picture of someone desperate for closure or a second chance. The references to “crying,” “lost it all,” and “give me a sign” highlight an emotional struggle that feels both intimate and universal. Charli’s delivery, paired with flashes of specific memories like “Grammy night” and “dancing in that house,” roots the song in a personal narrative while inviting listeners to relate their own experiences of loss and remorse.
