Yeah, it’s 2 AM and she’s out there
In a sheer white dress wearing last nights make-up
All coquettish in the pictures with the flash on
Worships Lana Del Rey in her airpods, yeah
Yeah, she’s in her mid 20s real intelligent
Hedonistic with the gravel drawl and dead eyes
You say she’s anorexic and you heard she likes when people say it
Think you already know her but you don’t
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
Yeah, it’s 4 AM and she’s out there
With a razor sharp tongue stuck to skinny cigarettes
Calls him daddy whilst she’s fingering a gold cross
And she’s kinda fucked up but she’s still in vogue
Yeah, she’s in her mid 20s real intelligent
And you hate the fact she’s New York City’s darling
You say she’s problematic and the way you say it’s so fanatic
Think she already knows that you’re obsessed
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
This one’s for all my mean girls
This one’s for all my bad girls
This one’s for all my break your boyfriend’s heart girls
For all my tear his shit apart girls
Mean girls
Unpacking the Attitude: A Celebration of Rebellion
Charli XCX’s “Mean Girls” is a bold anthem for those who embrace their unapologetic, rebellious selves. The lyrics paint vivid scenes of wild nights, messy glamour, and biting confidence—a portrait of women who defy social expectations and own their flaws. Charli’s references to late-night escapades, iconic influences like Lana Del Rey, and the intoxicating blend of intelligence and hedonism highlight a complex femininity. The recurring chorus is a rallying cry for every “mean girl” who refuses to be defined by others’ judgments, instead turning criticism into power. With its sharp wit and infectious energy, the track transforms perceived negativity into a badge of honor, celebrating individuality and self-empowerment.
