ugh ur actually amazing

I will throw a vocal coach at her 

I will throw my dildo at Charlie XCX next time she comes to the Netherlands!

…nobody thinks that or has ever said that lmao

You can believe what u want but she said it herself in the last Q&A she did here https://www.instagram.com/p/Ct6ugriIaMl/?img_index=1&igshid=YmQ5MjYyNzNkNQ==

Hot girl, hot in it and plenty of others in the last few years weren’t directly made for trends? Okay I’m sorry but she definitely does sound bites for tik tok here and there 

this is what i call quality pop music.

Charli has made it clear that she doesn’t write music to be “TikTok friendly”
 
it’s more likely they sent her the car chase scene and she wrote the song specifically for the scene which will not be more than 2 minutes (probably less) in the movie itself

I feel like a lot of people are forgetting it’s for a soundtrack and for a movie that’s going really heavy on marketing (so it needs to be tiktok friendly) like yes I’d be mad if she dropped a sub 2m single for an album but that’s not what this song is for at all. 

People are stating it’s one of her worst songs ever made and others are completely loving it- a polarising song I guess 

I like Speed Drive EXCEPT for the Hey Mickey interpolation  corny af but I think it will grow on me eventually
Also wtf is that length, not even 2 minutes? damn. a cute little bridge would've been very appreciated.

Really loving Speed Drive! I’m so glad Charli decided to turn back the clock with her topline, because her talent as a writer always been better showcased with her more rhythm-focused melodies where she riffs on one or two notes rather than melodies based on note progression. In fact, i think I remember from somewhere that Charli was complimented by Max Martin himself for her ability to get so much out of her hooks in I Love It, Fancy, Boom Clap, et al. I hope this signals that she is looking to return to the techniques she used in her songwriting era when she had writing credits on a bunch of hits. 

I’m also OBSESSED with the Cobrastyle sampled used by EASYFUN. To my ears it sounds moreso like a synth recreation rather than a direct sample because the synth he uses has his signature glucky sound to it, whereas Klås’s synth in Cobrastyle has significantly more decay to it. Praying Charli and EASYFUN have been in a lot more sessions together, which is likely since Charli listed him on the 360_brat instagram post

i really cannot with her getting asked to do a song for the second biggest movie of the year and delivering this like she do not gaf at all it's honestly impressive. i know she's in italy right now looking at her bank account and cackling with an aperol spritz in hand
 
 
 

logic brain would say reasonable but gay ass charli stan brain says get better taste

if i said i didn’t like it at all what would y’all say to me 

Charli making Speed Drive in 20 minutes
 

I unironically think the sample is the worst part of the song and absolutely ruins it for me. 
Its like "cute" for the movie which.... I know is the point. But I'm not streaming this more than like 3 times probably.

I like it. It's safe for her and for us, but it does capture her XCX-experimental side in a more accessible way. IDK how to verbalize this, but I'm enjoying it. 
The Robyn sample works so well and the Mickey-esque chants do too. There was def space for this to be fucking insane, but I'm whelmed with what we got.
 
Dunno why y'all are bitching about Barbie Girl. I'm sure it'll be dropping on krakenfiles soon.

If AG never played that snippet of Barbie Girl/World y'all would be eating this up. I'm convinced y'all just love to look for reasons  to be disappointed at this point 

omg love that Greta Thunberg was involved in this! heard she is a lisbon 🏳️‍🌈

this is, like, not good
further proof that Warner rejecting Barbie Girl should be regarded as an act of terrorism

3:05 when she’s parked outside wondering if she should leave this place behind 

Please please PLEASE leak the full version of "Attention" with Major Lazer... if the full version exists out there... I've been LONGING to hear that song full. The 0:07 second long clip I have is on constant repeat... I would CRY!
