i like how she embraces autotune on the laptop in the back. when you see the whole band is the same concept, it made sense. artifical vocal tuning plugin, electronic drums, launchpad, sampler, electronic keyboards, then if the vocal is plain it doesn't belong in the band. love this!!

[angeldarlin]

For everyone talking about the auto tune and how it's running in the background, it is because she's open about using auto tune now. She said she spent too much time on studio that she fucked up her vocals. She said it in a radio guesting and even demonstrated how it works with the radio station guys. Her auto tune isn't that heavy in this performance actually. In her performance in Plymouth, her auto tune was very apparent. Auto tune or not, she still rocks it.

I love how they set up the computer running autotune behind her like a member of the band

[TRenGroyper]

She is so beautiful. Sadly underrated. So so talented. Wish I lived in the UK so I could see more of her.

The reverb that begins at 1:31 still gives me chills !

[MisterUkuboy]

I don’t really listen to Charli like that, but this just made me want to start listening more often. This was really good.

[jmc]

I like that you can see Antares auto tune running on the laptop in the background. its like the 5th member of the band

[braescumadalina]

idk why but this sounds better than the original

[dimasyan]

Falling love with this music when i first listening

[esjaybeeshop]

Perfection, in everything music, singing, writing, looks and attitude. Charli's live performances are epic too. Charli's music is revolutionary in the pop game too!! I loved her downright admittance of auto tune too, claim that!

[ryanphlps]

i really love this era, idk why but i really like this electronic pop and futuristic style

[ruokuochadi]

With or without autotune .. She is blessed with an Amazing VOICE 🔛✳️✳️

[alicekerireininger]

Love this and her voice. Hayley Kiyoko needs to do a version about girls, I'd love to see that video

[ashleeshaw]

She has such a lovely voice ! Live even more so!

I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys (XCX)
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys
I need that bad boy to do me right on a Friday
And I need that good one to wake me up on a Sunday
That one from work can come over on Monday night
I want 'em all
I want 'em all
And when they finally leave me I'm all alone, but
I'm looking down and my girls are blowing my phone up
Them twenty questions, they asking me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back
I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse like
"I had to trash the hotel lobby"
But I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys
In every city I got one with different ringtones
Flying from LA all the way to Puerto Rico
My girls are calling me asking me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back
I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse like
But I can't even lie, you got me
I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys
Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (no, no, no, no)
Darling, I can't stop it
Even if I wanted
Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (no, no, no, no)
Missed what you were saying
I was miles away, yeah
Don't be mad, don't be mad, not like I had a choice
I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy thinking 'bout boys (boys)
Boys (boys), boys (boys)
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys (dreaming 'bout boys)
Boys, boys (oh)
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys
