Girl, So Confusing
"Girl, So Confusing" (stylized in sentence case) is a song by the British singer Charli XCX from her sixth studio album, Brat (2024). She wrote the song with the English producer A. G. Cook, who also assisted in its production, and released it through Atlantic Records. A glitch-influenced indie dance song, "Girl, So Confusing" is built on talk-sing Auto-Tune vocals and a throbbing bassline. It deals with Charli XCX's strained relationship with another female musician.
Upon its release, fans and critics speculated about the subject of the song; many believed it to be about the Japanese and English singer Rina Sawayama, the Welsh singer Marina Diamandis, or the New Zealand singer Lorde. Charli XCX later confirmed in a profile interview with Billboard that the latter artist served as the muse behind the track's subject.
A remix featuring Lorde was released on 21 June 2024. It builds on the original track's lyrics and provides an answer from Lorde, who discusses her own insecurities. The remix received universal acclaim from music critics, with many praising its lyrics and themes. It featured prominently on year-end listicles; Exclaim! and The Independent placed the remix at the top spot on their respective lists. Commercially, the remix charted in the top 40 in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and peaked in mid-tier positions in Australia, Canada, and the United States. It received a platinum certification from Music Canada (MC).
Charli XCX first teased "Girl, So Confusing" in a February 2024 interview with The Face. Shaad D'Souza then wrote that the track was "sure to send Deuxmoi and Discord servers into overdrive" as it "finds Charli singing about the fraught relationship she has with an unnamed female artist". She later clarified on her TikTok account that Brat did not contain any "diss tracks", with the exception of the album's lead single, "Von Dutch" (2024). The singer wrote the song as a way to explore the nuanced and complex relationships female pop artists are expected to maintain between one another in the limelight.
Upon the release of Brat, Out's Mey Rude reported about fans' speculations that the song may be about the Japanese and British singer Rina Sawayama, the Welsh singer Marina Diamandis or the New Zealand singer Lorde. Charli XCX and Sawayama collaborated on the 2022 song "Beg for You", from Charli XCX's fifth studio album, Crash (2022). The following year, the pair's relationship was reported to be damaged due to a feud between Sawayama and the 1975 frontman Matty Healy. At the time, Charli XCX was engaged to the 1975's drummer George Daniel, whom she has since married. The "girl" in the track's title was speculated to be a reference to Sawayama's second studio album, Hold the Girl (2022).
Charli XCX and Diamandis collaborated in 2013 on "Just Desserts", a standalone single used to promote Diamandis' the Lonely Hearts Club Tour, with Charli XCX performing as an opening act. In 2016, Charli XCX released a series of fruit-themed photos, shot by photographer Charlotte Rutherford, for an advertisement campaign with British fragrance company Impulse. Diamandis, who had previously worked with Rutherford, wrote on Charli XCX's Instagram account, "That Froot looks familiar!", which became a meme phrase. Charli XCX responded, stating that she did not use Diamandis' artwork for inspiration on the advertisement campaign as she was unaware of the illustrations, but confessed that after seeing the images, they shared similarities with Diamandis' photoshoot. In a comment posted on Charli XCX's 360_brat Instagram account in 2023, Charli stated that she felt "really hurt and upset and confused" by Diamandis' decision to respond publicly to the situation, further leading speculations that the subject of "Girl, So Confusing" was Diamandis.
However, upon the album's release and the remix of "Girl, So Confusing", Marina wrote on X, "This is beautiful. Just cried listening to it. It's so courageous and human to make work about this topic, and it's so healing to listen to it." Charli responded to the post with: "Aww Marina!! Tumblr girls rise!" and Marina replied: "Crying <3 <3 <3". Rolling Stone suggested this showed that they had reconciled over their fallout on Instagram.
Lorde experienced mainstream success after releasing her debut single, "Royals", and debut album, Pure Heroine, in 2013. The artist's aesthetic and physical features were compared by media outlets to those of Charli, who also released her debut album, True Romance, that same year and achieved mainstream success with her 2012 collaboration "I Love It" with Swedish synth-pop duo Icona Pop. In a 2014 interview, Charli XCX was mistaken for Lorde when the interviewer asked her about the inspiration for "her" song "Royals". Charli XCX did not correct the interviewer but rather played along and answered the question. This later inspired a decade-long meme comparing the two singers. In a May 2024 interview with Rolling Stone UK, Charli XCX revealed she had initially been envious of Lorde and her commercial success with "Royals" and compared her physical features with those of Lorde. However, she confessed that their different musical styles had assured her that they were "two completely different people" and that she thought this way due to insecurities about her own work.
