[skyrule]

two queens coming together maximizing their joint slay

[avorsorivas]

5 years later & this STILL feels like the future

[MrDavewashington]

Wish Charli and Carly would do more songs together. I love the combo of Charli's over-processed/autotuned vocals with Carly's organic, rich vocals.

[AdonXeon]

The way pop 2 birthed so many new hyperpop artists

[esdrassouza]

this STILL sounds like FUTURE. INCREDIBLE.

[airheadwonnie]

the instrumental is so metallic and digital sounding... im in love

[kxxm]

that metallic synth sound at the end is insane feels like its piercing all over my brain

[Catswearingtutus]

No matter how much I love brat, pop 2 will always be my favourite album from Charli

[danielk]

She literally gathered all the trendsetters that shaped pop music, the people that worked on mainstream artists album and hits, and yet she got ignored by the major awards. Music industry is a joke.

[dammitgandalf]

forward-thinking pop music right there, a.g. cook and PC music crew are brilliant, ill not be surprised if this is what pop music sounds like 6 months from now

[Jamieisastar]

The two pop stars that we don't deserve

[raullanzciriaco]

5 years later… it’s still the best and still sounds fresh as it could be.

[zoltun]

This whole album defined my late 20's in magical ways

[beepst]

Charli is a genius when it comes to creating catchy vocal melodies. Her melodies always have this childlike nature, and they sound very emotional.

[leebird]

I always have to listen to this song twice in a row. Carly & Charli are like the PB&J of pop music.

[kushclarkkent]

I somehow didn't know this existed until now. So powerful! Carly is my favorite artist. I need to check out Charli now!

[Rised]

[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
I can't escape all the voices, and so, I turn it up
I go to parties with strangers so I can figure it out
Run through a city at midnight to feel like a star
I want it all, even if it's fake

[Pre-Chorus: Charli XCX]
Breakin' your heart, split it in half
Told you it all (Told you it all)
Year and a half, are we in love?
I'll never know (I'll never know)
I know I'm wrong, what a mistake
Don't ever change (Don't ever change)
I can't escape all the voices, and so, I turn it up

[Chorus: Charli XCX]
In the backseat
Your song, so loud
Drivin' so fast
I'm better off alone

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]
All alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

[Verse 2: Carly Rae Jepsen]
I'm wide awake, lyin' next to him and feel it all
I got a thirst for distraction that I can't take back
My fingers run through his hair
I'm grippin' at regrets
I put my mouth on his lips to taste

[Pre-Chorus: Carly Rae Jepsen]
Breakin' your heart, split it in half
Told you it all (Told you it all)
Year and a half, are we in love?
I'll never know (I'll never know)
All that went wrong, what a mistake
I'll never change (I'll never change)
I can't escape all the voices and so I turn it up

[Chorus: Carly Rae Jepsen]
In the backseat
Your song, so loud
Drivin' so fast
I'm better off alone

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX & Carly Rae Jepsen]
All alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone

[Bridge: Carly Rae Jepsen]
'Wake lyin' next
I'm wide awake lyin' next
I'm wide awake lyin' next
I'm wide awake lyin' next
Take back, I gotta take back
I gotta take back, I gotta take back, I gotta
(In the)
My fingers run through his hair
My fingers run through his hair
(You're so)
My fingers run through his hair
My fingers run through his hair
(Drivin') In the (In the)
I gotta take back
All alone, all alone, all alone

[Breakdown: Charli XCX & Carly Rae Jepsen]
All alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone

[Outro: Charli XCX]
It's Charli, baby
It's Charli, baby

[abraham]

this song is so heartbreaking, to be honest... i can't stop listening to it and relating to the lyrics so much, fuck

[Pedro_Larroza]

This arrangement and song are a perfect blend of the BEST in both of their styles.

[jaiqt-cf]

Shit, almost 7 years after and I’m still not over this
