I’ll be your femmebot
I’ll be your
Go fuck your prototype
I’m an upgrade of your stereotype
Don’t come with a guarantee
I’ll use you up like you’re my battery
I feel the sparks between us
Electric shock
Hot-wired, if you mess it up
I’ll self-destruct
The way you look at me
I-I-I short circuit
You make me lose control
It’s automatic
You push my buttons
See-e-e-e how I work it
I-I-I-I get what I want
Like it or not
I’ll be your femmebot
I’ll be your femmebot
I’ll be your femmebot
I-I get what I want
Like it or not
I got you hypnotized (hypnotized)
I read your thoughts when you look in my eyes
You’re just my human toy (human toy)
And I am programmed to search and destroy
I feel the sparks between us
Electric shock
Hot-wired, if you F it up (five, four, three)
I’ll self-destruct (two, one)
The way you look at me
I-I-I short circuit
You make me lose control
It’s automatic
You push my buttons
See-e-e-e how I work it
I-I-I-I get what I want
Like it or not
The way you look at me
I-I-I short circuit
You make me lose control
It’s automatic
You push my buttons
See-e-e-e how I work it
I-I-I-I get what I want
Like it or not
I’ll be your femmebot
I’ll be your femmebot
I’ll be your femmebot
I-I get what I want
Like it or not
Ghost in a shell
I’m a beast in the sheets
I’m a neutron bomb-bomb, blowin’ the beat
Gonna spray that raygun and fall to his knees
I’m a lightnin’ rod, I’ma bite that bod
Do you want a femmebot or do you want a ho-bot?
Slut-bot, fuck no, systems down
Boy, I’ll clone you, boy, I’ll swerve you
Glitch your mainframe, now I own you
Ex Machina-na-na, you can’t win
I’m A.I. fly, I am that bitch
Is your love for real though?
I’m Trinity, you’re Neo
I’m bionic, not ironic
Super Saiyan, supersonic
Hard drive crash, you don’t remember
Charli bit yo wittle finga
I’ll be your femmebot
Girl, I’ll be your femmebot, can never turn me off
I’ll be, I’ll be your femme-
The way you look at me
I-I-I short circuit
You make me lose control
It’s automatic
You push my buttons
See-e-e-e how I work it
I-I-I-I get what I want
Like it or not
I’ll be your femmebot
I’ll be your femmebot
I’ll be your femmebot
I-I get what I want
Like it or not
Exploring the Future of Femininity in “Femmebot”
Charli XCX’s “Femmebot” is a vibrant, futuristic anthem that playfully blurs the lines between human and machine. Through bold metaphors and high-voltage imagery, the song explores themes of empowerment, autonomy, and the redefinition of gender roles. The recurring motif of the femmebot—a feminine robot—serves as both a symbol of independence and a critique of society’s expectations. Charli positions herself as an upgrade to stereotypes, unbound by guarantees or limitations, and unapologetically in control. The infectious chorus and clever references to AI, pop culture, and technology reinforce a narrative of self-determination and confidence, inviting listeners to question who holds the real power in relationships.
