Charli XCX has recruited Lorde for the remix of ‘Girl, So Confusing,’ originally written about Lorde herself.
“When ‘Royals’ came out, I was super jealous of the success that that song got, and that [she] got”, Charli said. “You piece all this stuff together in your brain, like: ‘She was into my music. She had big hair; I had big hair. She wore black lipstick; I once wore black lipstick.’ You create these parallels and think, ‘Well, that could have been me.’ But it couldn’t have because we’re completely different people. I wasn’t making music that sounded anything like ‘Royals.’ I think you just read what you want into it because you’re feeling insecure about your own work.
