    to have a woman you had these complex feelings about say "i ride for you" is so bone crushingly sweet im crying

    "You've got your shit together, while I'm just a big mess." "I thought you were the one with your shit together." Funny how that works, doesn't it?
  • i feel like i live in a brat bubble bcs absolutely no oneeeee around me is talking about this album itā€™s insane šŸ˜­
  • @rickochetz
    It's the opposite of a diss track, a kiss-and-make-up track if you will. Icon behavior šŸ’ššŸ’ššŸ’š
  • Ngl i was sobbing from the iconicness of the collab, Lordes raw lyrics and the meaning this has for women empowerment in vulnerability

    4:25 Charli answering that ladyā€™s question is SENDING ME

    suffering with anorexia really does make you cancel on dinner plans and any plans where you might be photographed, and everyone reads it as you being flaky but in reality, you really did want to go but the anxiety leading up to it just wonā€™t let you. I feel for lorde and charli so much on that
  • @Dark_Aeon
    This track is unique. It's been years since a track affected me this much. Truly a moment for the pop music history books.
  • this whole arc had me breaking down sobbing. this is what it means to be a girl. i love women supporting women
  • @CarminaTunes
    I honestly never even thought of comparing these two. I always saw them as individual amazing artists.

    The night before she released it, while I was at Partygirl in Mexico City, she played ā€œGreen Lightā€ right after ā€œGirl, so confusing. In that moment, I knew a collaboration was coming.
  • honestly the moment the remix came out, i freaked out because both of them are some of my favorite artists, and hearing lorde's verse made me extremely emotional because she was so honest. it was such a wild but perfect collab for the girl, so confusing remix
  • The fact that Marina chimed in made this moment even better for me. There have been a few monolithic pop moments recently, this one and when Kylie and Madonna shared the stage for the first time. Two moments I am glad I lived to see
  • @autumnr9818
    i didnā€™t think this video was going to make me cry but womenā€™s relationships can be so beautiful and easy. realizing weā€™re all like other girls in all the ways that truly count is such a beautiful moment in every womanā€™s life regardless of how they came to that realization and iā€™m glad these kind of ā€œoh we were both in our own heads and thatā€™s all it was. i have your back now that i understand youā€ moments are something that even celebrities with as large of lives as these two can publicly have. ā€œgirl power i supposeā€

    As a new fan of Charli from BRAT, I didn't know any of this and it's been so interesting. gonna go watch the rest of your brat series now!
  • This really shoes how important it is to talk openly, I mean they spent a decade thinking there was a problem which couldā€™ve been resolved with an honest conversation
