In this video, I'm going to talk about "The girl so confusing version with lorde", a remix of one of Brat's best tracks featuring Lorde. This collaboration was a long time coming but ended up becoming one of the most authentic pop creations in years. We'll discuss the "beef" and the song's lyrical content and dive into why pop girls should settle feuds with songs. Because we all win when that happens. #Charlixcx #lorde #brat

I’m truly living in an “I can’t believe I lived to see this” moment. Not just this release but Charli’s entire journey from turning her back on the mainstream and doing what the fuck she wants to the mainstream accepting her back on her own terms. As a fan since 2013 I feel like I’ve been watching the main character

@EljohnMacaranas Ай бұрын

Like Charli has done it all: rise to the top, fall from grace, go underground, sell out, go back to being underground then become loved again 😭 next project might cause a pop reset

The fact that they last worked together in music was in the Hunger games soundtrack through a voice memo and them still using a voice memo/imessage for lorde’s verse is just a full circle 360 moment for both of them.

@SlamJamMusic Ай бұрын

idk it never really was a diss track. in an earlier interview charli kinda said the only actual "diss" on the album was von dutch. if anything, girl so confusing is more charli opening up to lorde because she felt like there was a disconnect between them and wanted to resolve it.

@EljohnMacaranas Ай бұрын

Agree with the comment below about it being a moment of self hatred, confusion, and abstraction. It’s kinda a brave “hey ARE we actually friends or wtf”

@MyNameisDC Ай бұрын

@@SlamJamMusic Oh totally! That’s why I added _supposed_ because a lot of people (me💀) picked up on it being a diss on first listen. If anything this remix solidifies it as being more of a bonding over time tale that some people will realize it’s no longer as much of a diss as it is an appreciation-after-confusion track 💁‍♂️

@empressawesome1655 Ай бұрын

I’ve been a fan of both since their debuts but very casually so I was never aware of any “beef” but this still felt so cathartic to listen to. Lorde’s lyrics were so personal yet so relatable about how difficult it can be to maintain healthy relationships with other women when the patriarchy incentivizes you to constantly be in competition, and how your own insecurities can damage potentially good friendships.

@EljohnMacaranas Ай бұрын

They really don’t have beef so much as like misplaced expectations and this invisible air of competition that’s detracted from what could be a fruitful relationship. Lorde’s so talented at cutting down words to the heart of her feelings.

@rachelmarlett2771 Ай бұрын

i feel like i’ve gotten so used to quick collabs coming as a money grab and not a quality piece of work but this f’ing song…. i would say it’s better than og girl so confusing, even tho she could not exist and hold the same weight without her. but this track is so powerful and raw without feeling clumsy or over/under-produced. 10s across the board, crying in girlhood

@EljohnMacaranas Ай бұрын

Remixes tend to really just be a charting cash grab but agreed, this was just right. Both really showcase their writing and talent in the best way possible.

Not to throw too much shade but it’s clear whose goals are commercial and whose are more artistic at this point. Both are valid directions and I love them both but like one’s having a critical breakthrough and a cultural moment and the other’s well just doing business as usual. 🫢

I love that we've been begging these two to collab while they edge us for years, and all it took is for one of them to release a song about her frustration with the other and why they haven't collabed, for them to finally do it. It's so fucking meta. And then Marina and Charli started twitting back and forth.... what a time for pop culture! Lorde is beyond perfect in the remix, her verse is so raw and fitting to the whole vibe, the last pre chorus with both of them is heavenly, and I love her voice so much with all this autotune and modification, she really owned it. I hope she works with some of Charli's producers next, especially if she returns to darker synthpop.
