Singer Charli XCX has released a new version of her song “Girl, so confusing” which features vocals from Lorde, the artist who inspired the track. Charli teased the remix on social media earlier this week, sharing a billboard that simply read “Lorde” and offering followers a sneak preview of the track via her private Instagram account. The full remix is now available to stream online.
In the new version, Lorde sings the lines, “Well honestly I was speechless / When I woke up to your voice note / You told me how you’ve been feeling / Let’s work it out on the remix.” Charli has previously spoken about how Lorde served as the partial inspiration for the song, which she worked on years ago.
