I’ve been fantasizin’ ’bout a Porsche
Get that dough-oh-oh-oh
I’ve been kneadin’, kneadin’ ’til I’m sore
‘Til it grow-oh-oh-oh
(X-C-X)
I’ve been runnin’ ’round now for so long
Yeah, it seems that
Every day and everywhere I go
Yeah, I see ya
Baby, I just gotta let you know
I made dough-oh-oh-oh
Take back all your love ’cause
Fake words ain’t enough, no
I gave it all, so emotional
But you only care how your money talks
One rose layin’ on your grave ’cause
You pushed everyone away but
My mausoleum, pretty like Versailles
Man, I played it out ’bout a thousand times, yeah
You won’t hear my teardrops when they’re fallin’
Engine drownin’ out the sound, you hear me comin’
Went and got it all, just to prove you wrong
Yeah, you spent my love, didn’t spend my money
‘Cause I’ve been fantasizin’ ’bout a Porsche
Get that dough-oh-oh-oh
I’ve been kneadin’, kneadin’ ’til I’m sore
‘Til it grow-oh-oh-oh
I’ve been runnin’ ’round now for so long
Yeah, it seems that
Every day and everywhere I go
Yeah, I see ya
Baby, I just gotta let you know
I made dough-oh-oh-oh
Take back all your love ’cause
Fake words, they don’t count, no
Yeah, I know your game
And you played it right
Wish you knew before but my love is blind
One rose layin’ on your grave ’cause
You pushed everyone away, oh
Tell your new lover to enjoy the ride
Pop the Chardonnay, kiss her lips goodbye, yeah
You won’t hear my teardrops when they’re fallin’
Engine drownin’ out the sound, you hear me comin’
Went and got it all, just to prove you wrong
Yeah, you spent my love, oh
Didn’t spend my money, babe
‘Cause I’ve been fantasizin’ ’bout a Porsche (I’ve been fantasizin’)
Get that dough-oh-oh-oh (Oh-whoa-whoa, dough)
I’ve been kneadin’, kneadin’ ’til I’m sore (‘Til I’m sore)
‘Til it grow-oh-oh-oh (‘Til it grow)
I’ve been runnin’ ’round now for so long
Yeah, it seems like
Every day and everywhere I go
Yeah, I see ya (Oh)
Baby, I just gotta let you know (Let you know)
I made dough-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, yeah
Yeah-yeah

Empowerment Through Luxury: Interpreting “Porsche”
Charli XCX’s “Porsche” is a bold, self-assured anthem that uses the imagery of luxury cars and wealth to symbolize personal growth and independence. Throughout the song, Charli reflects on a relationship where emotional investment wasn’t reciprocated, but instead of dwelling on heartbreak, she reclaims her narrative by focusing on her own success. The recurring motif of “fantasizin’ ’bout a Porsche” transforms the car into a metaphor for ambition and self-worth, celebrating her ability to thrive despite past disappointments. The energetic production and catchy hooks underscore the message of moving forward and prioritizing one’s own achievements over toxic love. Ultimately, “Porsche” encourages listeners to value themselves and chase their goals, no matter who doubted them in the past.
