Clarification on the background and subject matter of the song

[edit]

In a recent interview with Billboard, Charli provided some extra context on the song's background and confirmed the song was 100% about Lorde. She also provides some more history on how the remix came to be. Here's a short excerpt from the interview where she confirms this:

Like many of brat’s songs, figuring out the subject of “Girl, so confusing” isn’t difficult — which is why Charli reached out to Lorde ahead of its release. “I had to go through the process of telling her that this song is about her and her being OK with that first,” Charli explains. “I was trying to meet up with her for almost a year, and we kept having this weird, like, we were [going to], then we wouldn’t. It spoke to the narrative of the song itself. In the end, it didn’t work out. Then the day before the record came out, I left her a voice note. [Lorde] replied straight away and was like, ‘Oh, my God, I had no idea you felt this way. I’m so sorry.’ And then was like, ‘You know, maybe I should be on a version of the song.’ I didn’t even ask her. She brought it up."

Since Charli confirmed the song is about Lorde, I feel that it would be worth clarifying it in the intro to the song article? Since there's no longer any vagueness or uncertainty regarding the subject. I think there's also some other points in the interview that could be worth mentioning in the article, such as how the remix was Lorde's idea. Also the fact that the remix was unplanned and took place over the course of 3 days. Galaxyseal (talk) 15:09, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
