Baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
Baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
You get away with it all
Baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
And even though you g-g-g-got me
You still want it all
So, can I ask you a question?
Do you ever feel guilt for what you done?
Call you, you got no reception
You’re breakin’ up
Tell you I believe you, but I don’t
And baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
And baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
You get away with it all
Baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
And even though you g-g-g-got me
You still want it all
So, can I ask you a question?
Do you ever feel guilt for what you done?
Call you, you got no reception
You’re breakin’ up
Tell you I believe you, but I don’t
And baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
But did you ever l-l-l-love me?
You’re just way too numb (Numb), mmm, mmm
And baby, you’re so lu-lu-lu-lucky
I know you never l-l-l-loved me
And I knew all along
All along
All along
All along
Ooh
Knew it all along
Knew it all along
Knew it all along
Unpacking the Bittersweet Edge of “Lucky”
Charli XCX’s “Lucky” dives into the complexities of love and longing, capturing the pain of giving your heart to someone who seems emotionally detached. The repeated stuttering of the word “lucky” underlines the irony: the subject appears to glide through life untouched by consequences, yet this very “luck” keeps them from forming genuine connections. Throughout the song, Charli questions whether her partner ever truly loved her, expressing vulnerability and self-awareness. The chorus, with its infectious repetition, mirrors the cyclical nature of doubt and disappointment in one-sided relationships. Ultimately, “Lucky” is a candid exploration of emotional numbness and unreciprocated love, wrapped in Charli’s signature shimmering pop production.
