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 British 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 Lorde 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).
