bored 7,935 Posted October 1, 2018 yup, charli is singing about how much she wants to be 7 again and troye is singing about how much he wants to be 4 again Urgh that's so awkward, why didn't she sing about being a teenager and do a song called 2005? Y'know she could reminisce about being young and name drop musicians and include throwback hits into the lyrics... A song like that could've been a hit in 2018. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A song like that could've been a hit in 2018. yeah i mean, the target audience for pop music literally wasn't alive in 1999 so it's weird to have a song with 2 people who were toddlers in 1999 singing about how much they want to go back to 1999. if it was framed like "i wish i was in my prime in 1999" yeah that'd make sense, that's nostalgia and feeling like you missed out on all that fun shit from the 90s, but the fact that the chorus is "i just wanna go back to 1999, back to when i was alive" is so weird 8 Quote X----into me, into you----X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because theres a whole 90s nostalgia coming up mostly enjoyed by people who were born in the 90s but dont remember most of it. Its a pop song its really not that deep. 10 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TrashMagiq 58,533 Posted October 1, 2018 Could the featured artist on 1999 be Troye Sivan? Both of them did a "secret" shoot on the same day. They were hanging out a lil while ago too. I mean, Troye was like 4 in 1999, but Charli was like 6 so idk. https://twitter.com/charli_xcx/status/1046802388336631809?s=21 Welp 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
