Charli XCX Performs “So I” | Billboard Women In Music 2024 

This is her own single though?

@@atmike I think they mean the single she just put out that she could've easily performed here to promo it. This isn't going to be a single and is probably not coming out till later this year.

It makes the song more powerful, I’ve lost best friends so it’s like very relatable

Why you call her "SHOPIE" ?

@@thisismee. this song is about the musical artist and producer Sophie

you can never get that feeling of remorse and regret away.

Who shopie?

@@thisismee. look it up, her full name is Sophie Xeon

Google is free @@thisismee.

​@@thisismee. SOPHIE was a music producer who was known for her contributions to PC music and hyper pop in general. She was the one who produced Charli xcx vroom vroom EP

U mean bjork changed electronic music.

im glad im not the only one who noticed the similar structure, and even including it as a lyric.

I’m so proud of charli te amo

Everything is resembling that song, most vulnerable and personal project of hers 🫂🫶🏻

It also interpolates Lightning (not the one on Crash) an unreleased song she made with Sophie.

she even said "I know you always said 'its okay to cry'" 😭😭

i agree! she's very intentional about the ways she uses it, and it always pays off. i love her raw vocals too, but the added textures from autotune suit her voice soooo well.

It's so dually symbolic, too, because SOPHIE's signature vocal style included heavy uses of autotune. It feels so intentional, especially with the incorporation of It's Okay to Cry. And it is! Because I am!

Well said and so true - a lot of pitch control and ~breath~ control. Charli's flow is legendary

exactly she uses it how t-pain or cher did, or even a rapper like young thug (most rappers don't have the range/control to use it well though). it's used as a vocal fx not as a crutch. you have to have perfect control to hit the notes off and trigger it just right then do vocal glides up/down, like someone sliding up keys on a piano in key hitting all the right notes. people don't realize auto tune can be as an instrument.

omg DOSS (?)

sophie started a small revolution in the music world when hyperpop blew up online! hopefully her effects on the art community will be felt forever.

Now that the album is out, this perfomance encapsulates it so well. Being a powerful woman onstage yet at times fragile and emotional behind the facade. I love that she's chosen to be so raw this era.

Yes, very human like, not faking, everyone has been very critique about how she’s graving her

wait what happened between her and Sophie?

@@emomu just listen to the lyrics. it's not any drama, just human feelings and second thoughts after someone close has passed

​@emomu Nothing "happened", Charli is just singing about/discussing very human emotions that everyone feels, especially when they lose a loved one. For example when Charli sings, "You'd (Sophie) say, 'Stay for dinner', I'd say, 'No I'm fine' - Now I really wish I'd stayed", she's talking about a time when any of us have the opportunity to spend time with a loved one-- be it family member, friend, etc, and we'd pass on that moment we could share, not out of hate or spite, but often because we're "busy" and just figure "Oh we can just hang out next time" often without realizing we're not always guaranteed a "next time" because life or accidents happen so quickly that, that person we were just speaking to could be gone in an instant. Or when Charli sings "When I'm on stage, sometimes I lie, say that I like singing these songs you left behind", she's not saying it out of anger or annoyance, but out of a complicated feeling of genuinely enjoying the songs she wrote and worked on with Sophie, but at the same time feeling that bittersweet pain of thinking of the memories of those times and acknowledging that it does hurt sometimes to sing them because of how much they remind her of Sophie because she's still grieving that loss (Sophie literally passed only three years ago, and contrary to what some may think or say, three years is really not very long ago, so it's likely that Charli is still grieving that loss because grief has no time frame).

this froot looks familiar

😭❤‍🩹

Phe 💔

WAIT

WAIIIIIIT (2)

Pain Has Ended ​@@MarinaAndTheDevil

👏👏👏👏👏

my exact thoughts

Uhh, That troon Dylan was heavily celebrated and there's mostly troons on shows and films?

You can truly tell how close of friends they were and how much Charli is still feeling that pain of losing SOPHIE

was SOPHIE being trans the most important aspect of her artistry? feels like your comment, even good intended, does quite the opposite in my opinion

I love how music can connect people especially SOPHIES unique and innovative music

This is the legacy Sophie wanted I think Loved reading your story ♥

i love when people on youtube just make up shit to be able to comment lmao

@@skarsgard1342 oh my god thank you, I finally realised I’m living a life better than someone that it makes them think it’s fake! The funny thing is mate, I know it’s true because it’s my experience, literally just going to a beach listening to music and smoking away watching the stars, it’s nothing special for people Where I live because we are surrounded by beaches and oceans I’m sorry you haven’t been able to do things like that and I hope you do! Go and make memories!

@@skarsgard1342 also, I just checked your last comment replies on these videos, dude, just let people live their lives and I hope you get happier and healthier, this comment section is mainly for fans to get together to remember Sophie and hear Charli’s song so just take your negativity to your next therapy appointment than taking it out on random people on the internet, I don’t need this negativity haha

yeah. So tragic

She did enough to change pop music forever, but not enough for her to get credits. She left just before the fame she deserved. When you think about it, it's so Sophie.

It's going to be hard to find another person like her. The conditions aren't the same anymore. SOPHIE had a real upbringing on 90s rave culture and IDM. These sounds were both cheesy and cutting edge. I listened to some of the same stuff around the same time so I can hear the influences plain as day. But now, IDM has flowed into all kinds of places, even in subtle ways.... and rave music has become so commercialized and pop ready. It's not going to be the same, newer producers are going to have such different reference points so obviously the output will be different too.

ARCA is a lot like her.

Arca is arca

A wonderful performer knows when "the show must go on" and gets through it. They cry on the inside.

Omg same. Lost my middle aged therapy friend to fentanyl last year. It’s ok to cry

Their star burns so bright 🫶

@@jorb1903I lost my aunt back in April to opiates. Not fet but she doctor shopped so basically the same shit. Oxys and kpins. My entire family keeps saying their going to have a service but ik their not because their embaressed to admit what happened. She had a normal life up until like the last 5 years when she got addicted. Also I’m an addict so I understood her pain… we had been close since I was a child. She knew how crazy my parents are and I could call her for anything. I feel so heartbroken over her loss and angry that my family isn’t honoring her. If I had the funds to do a celebration of life I would but I can’t. We’re going on 3 months now and still no sign of a service… makes me so fucking angry. Sorry I just had to vent, this song makes my think of my aunt 😢

hi girl the album is out btw! whats your thoughts on the studio version?

it does wreck me

Fr it makes me cry

it certainly did wreck me!

@@ihatesponsorships hey queen! i remember listening to it on the release date. no words, just tears. it hurts so much that we'll never hear more from sophie (fortunately the posthumous album is on the way) but she will forever be cemented in music and i love charli for even reminding everyone about her 🤍 sophie forever

Mine too 🕊️ official is my most listened-to song of hers. So many years on repeat.

Official is low-key one of the best love songs EVER

Same here, Official, White Mercedes, Tears, Thoughts, some of my fave numbers from Charli. Thoughts is probably my most played song of hers

Listen to the nuclear seasons album there’s lots there

This!

Look over the edge but not too far.

@@sockaponchI’ve always thought that lyric was a bit on the nose 😭

Maybe just a little bit
