“Girl, So Confusing” by Charli XCX and Lorde
“Girl, So Confusing” by Charli XCX and Lorde appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2024. Its best result is #26 on the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2024. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #281 alternative song of 2024.
"Girl, So Confusing" first turned up on Brat, Charli XCX's sixth studio album, in 2024: a glitchy indie-dance number of talk-sung, Auto-Tuned vocals over a throbbing bassline, written with A. G. Cook, who also had a hand in producing it. The song picks at a strained relationship with another woman in music, and fans rushed to guess who; Charli later told Billboard it was Lorde.
The remix, out on 21 June 2024, let the muse answer back. Lorde picks up Charli's lyric and replies with insecurities of her own, turning a one-sided song into a conversation between the two. Critics fell hard for it, it topped the year-end lists at Exclaim! and The Independent, and it went top 40 in the UK and New Zealand and platinum in Canada.
