You said you wanna bang
Well, fuck you, sucker!
Head bang (bang), pink rocks (rocks)
Gold fangs (flexing), shit hot
Brick walls, don’t stop
My hands, fresh cuts (sick)
Oh dear God, do you get me now, do you get me now, oh, you do?
Wow, you’re awesome
Oh dear God, I’m a killer now, I’m a killer now, so are you
Wow you’re awesome
You said you wanna bang
Well
Fuck you! Sucker!
You said you wanna bang
Well
Fuck you! Sucker!
Invites, non-stop
Bleached out (fuck it), blue yachts
You joined my club
Luke loves (love it), your stuff (sick)
Oh dear God, do you get me now, do you get me now, oh, you do?
Wow you’re awesome
Oh dear God, I’m a killer now, I’m a killer now (killer now, killer now, killer now)
You said you wanna bang
Well
Fuck you! Sucker!
You said you wanna bang
Well
Fuck you! Sucker!
Sitting on a plastic speedboat
In the ultraviolet ocean
Playing cool songs
Trying to show off
Wow you’re awesome
Wow you’re awesome
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
I’m a killer
Fuck you! Sucker!
Sucker!
Sucker!
Sucker!
Fuck you!
Rebellion and Raw Attitude: The Heart of “Sucker”
Charli XCX’s “Sucker” bursts with a fierce, rebellious spirit and unfiltered attitude. The lyrics, laced with defiance and sarcasm, showcase Charli’s refusal to be controlled or impressed by superficial advances. Lines like “You said you wanna bang / Well, fuck you, sucker!” flip the script on traditional pop flirtation, turning the tables with a biting edge. The references to head banging, gold fangs, and wild parties paint a picture of unapologetic confidence and self-indulgence.
Owning the Narrative
Throughout the track, Charli XCX takes ownership of her narrative, celebrating individuality and self-worth. The recurring phrase “Wow, you’re awesome” drips with irony, as she mocks those who try to impress her. The song’s relentless energy and punk-pop attitude make it a bold anthem for anyone standing up against conformity and unwanted attention.
