As predicted by Charli XCX , working with Lorde on a remixed version of “ Girl, so confusing ” indeed made the “internet go crazy.” And, it also touched one of Charli’s earliest friends, Marina , who shared that she teared up while listening to the two singers work through their differences on the track. “This is beautiful.
Just cried listening to it,” wrote Marina on X Friday. “It’s so courageous and humans to make work about this topic and it’s so healing to listen to it. Congratulations on an iconic album @charli_xcx.
” Soon after, Charli XCX responded to the tweet, writing, “Aww marina!! tumblr girls rise!” In reply, Marina wrote, “Crying <3 <3 <3.” On “Girl, so confusing,” Charli sings about her insecure tendencies around her “awkward” relationship with Lorde, with whom she doesn’t “have much in common” besides being two of the internet’s favorite artists. “We talk about making music/ But I don’t know if it’s honest,” sings Charli.
The exchange between Marina and Charli also seems to capture the pair publicly burying the hatchet after a falling out in 2016 over a photoshoot. At the time, Marina wrote, “That FROOT looks familiar,” a phrase that has now become a meme among stan groups for both artists, under a photo that looked similar to Marina’s promo pictures for Froot , which dropped the year prior. At the time, Marina followed the comment by tweeting, “Imagery is artistic property.
Please respect your fellow.
