Charli XCX
Voice Note to Addison 20231108
So, the song is called "Von Dutch"
And I guess it's kind of about
You know how, like, sometimes you just feel like
There are people in the industry
Or maybe it's not even in the industry
Like, this could be, like, applied to anyone's life
Whether they're working in, you know, art industry or not, you know
Um, you know how sometimes there's just those people
Who you know are fucking watching you
You know they're watching your every move
You know they're commenting on it behind your back probably in a kind of bitchy way
But then they're so nice to your face
And which is like, what the fuck, like
And they have so much criticism of you and the way that you do things
In almost kind of like an obsessive kind of a way
Where it's like they can't look away, you know
And don't get me wrong, I have had that feeling with other artists in my past
Not really right now, but, like, I definitely have, you know
Um, and I feel like it's like cyclical
Like it comes around, like, when you're feeling your strongest and most confident
Maybe you don't feel it, anyways, whatever
This song is kind of about that feeling of, like
"I know you're fucking watching me, um
So, if you're fucking watching, I'm gonna be a fucking star"
And I feel like everybody, like, has that moment sometimes
Like, when they know people are talking about them and you're like
"Fine. Fucking talk. I'm that girl, watch me
And you can talk about me more"
So this is that, this song is about that
