In her sixth studio album "BRAT," Charli XCX delves into themes of womanhood, aging, grief, and anxiety while embracing a hot-mess pop star aesthetic. The track "Girl, so confusing" raised eyebrows with its accusatory lyrics that sparked rumors of a feud between Charli and Lorde. However, the pair confronted these rumors by dropping a remix that addressed their insecurities and finally affirmed their friendship. The public's fascination with their relationship highlights the common occurrence of friendship breakups due to miscommunications, assumptions, and mental health struggles.
