I'm about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I'm high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I'm about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I'm high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
(Oh)
Overloading when I'm looking in the mirror, uh (oh)
I feel myself, I'm looking way better than ever, uh (oh)
Overloading when I'm looking in the mirror
I'm about to crash, I'm about to crash
I'm about to crash, I'm about to crash
I'm about to crash
I'm about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I'm high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I'm about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I'm high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I don't know if I'll be coming back to life again (oh)
All or nothing, burn in hell or go up heaven sent, yeah (oh)
Wheels up on the curb-side, put it in speed drive
I'm about to crash, I'm about to crash
I'm about to crash, I'm about to crash
I'm about to crash
I'm about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I'm high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I'm about to crash into the water
Gonna take you with me
I'm high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary
I'm about to, I'm about to crash
Come watch me, baby
I'm about to, I'm about to, I'm about to crash
Come watch me burn it all down
I'm about to, I'm about to crash
Into the water, take you with me
I'm high voltage, self-destructive
End it all so legendary

New Shapes
What you want
I ain't got it
What you want
What you want
I ain't got it
What you want
I ain't got it
I don't know why I got a tendency to run away
Don't know why I'm always pushing for a sweet escape
Even though I feel so close
I just can't control how I feel
And I gotta be free
Need to breathe
But sometimes I need
All night
All day
We could fall in love in new shapes
New shapes
When the morning comes
I'm sorry
I stayed
Tell you honestly, I can't change
Can't change
What you want
I ain't got it
What you want
What you want
I ain't got it
I ain't got it
What if I
Created places for you to let go
What if you
Wanted to watch because we both know
That now we are so close we don't have to fight how we feel
When the lights and the skins are a call so surrender to it
All night, all day
Then we fall in love in new shapes, new shapes
When the morning comes all misty, we fade
'Cause we fell in love in new shapes
In new shapes
What you want
I ain't got it (got it)
What you want
(We could go on)
What you want
I ain't got it
I ain't got it
Thinking of me but you're stuck on the West side again
Maybe we're meant for another dimension, babe
Deep in the dark of your brain like a star in space
You call it art but you pulled out my heart
And you twisted it into a new shape
Yeah, I'm dive bombing again and again
Trying to get up close to you
F*cked if I know how it's gonna end
But honestly life would be better
If I never met you in the first place
What you want
I ain't got it (yeah)
What you want
(I ain't got it)
What you want
I ain't got it
(Charli, Caroline, Chris)
What you want
(What you want, what you want)
I ain't got it (what you want)
What you want
I ain't got it

What you want

Good Ones
I wish you gave me a reason
That you were better at leavin'
That you got your kicks from seein' me low
I always let the good ones go
Don't want the kisses, unless they're bitter
I'm hooked on touches that leave me weaker
I swear that I love nothin' more than broke
I always let the good ones go
And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better
But doin' this is all that I've known ever
I want the bad ones, 'cause they're all I know
I always let the good ones go
I always let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I let the good ones go-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I let the good ones
Let you down easy, I'm tryin'
'Cause you're everything I've spent my whole life fightin'
So when I walk away, it's not your fault
I always let the good ones go
And baby, you couldn't have loved me any better
But doin' this is all that I've known ever
I want the bad ones 'cause they're all I know

Constant Repeat
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I'm focused on you
You're all on me too
I'm cute and I'm rude
And you like what I do
You said I run through your mind
So I put love on the line
I scared you away
You missed the chance of a lifetime
When you're lonely
Are you ever thinkin' 'bout the magic in me?
Do you wish I was yours?
When you're lonely (when you're lonely)
Am I ever on your mind on constant repeat?
Is it me that you want?
Do you realize
I could have been the one to change your life?
You could have had a bad girl by your side
You could have had a bad girl
Could have had a bad girl
If you wanted
Do you even know
The reasons why you had to let me go? (Do you know?)
You could have had a bad girl by your side
You could have had a bad girl
Could have had a bad girl
If you wanted
I'm focused on you
You're all on me too
Told you, I'm cute and I'm rude
With kinda rare attitude
You said I'm still on your mind
But now I don't have the time
You should have been brave
You missed the chance of a lifetime
When you're lonely
Are you ever thinkin' 'bout the magic in me?
Do you wish I was yours?
When you're lonely (when you're lonely)
Am I ever on your mind on constant repeat?

You could have had a bad girl

Beg for You
You know I go insane
Every time you have to catch a flight
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Can I take you to the airport?
Make out under the bathroom lights?
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Put your lips on my lips
I'll remember your kiss
On the nights when I miss you, ooh
Something I can't forget
When I'm restless in bed
Yeah, you got me obsessed, mmm
Oh, don't you leave me this way
Won't you wait another hour or two?
You know I need you to stay
Don't make me beg for you
'Cause I'll beg for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, yeah
Beg for you, beg for you
Beg for you, beg for you
Beg for you, beg for you
Oh, don't you leave me this way
You're like an ocean breeze
Coming and going just as you please
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Separated by a degree
Hesitate and I lose you
So far out of reach
Ah, ah-ah-ah
Oh, put your lips on my lips
I'll remember your kiss
On the nights when I miss your mouth
Something I can't forget
When I'm restless in bed
Yeah, you got me obsessed, now
Oh, don't you leave me this way
Won't you wait another hour or two?
You know I need you to stay
Don't make me beg for you
'Cause I'll beg for you
My heart is aching
My breath, you take it
Oh, babe, I just want a taste
Don't you leave me this way
Don't make me beg for you
Don't leave me, don't leave me
This way, this way

Move Me
I already know I'm letting go of something sacred
Drive us off the road, I take a good thing and I break it
Think it's it my soul
The way I run from something real
No, I ain't changing
Wish I could surrender
Give you everything I got and let you know
It's something 'bout the way you move me
Yeah, yeah
It's something 'bout the way you save my life
Something 'bout the way you
Hold my body tight even on my lowest nights
Locked down my by side even when I'm borderline
Yeah, I don't even know why I push you away
It's something 'bout the way you
Call it what you want, I got a habit for destruction
Take all of your trust and then betray it like it's nothing
Yeah, I think it's in my soul
The way I run from something real
And leave you wondering (wondering)
Why I can't surrender
Give you everything I got and let you know
It's something 'bout the way you move me
Yeah, yeah
It's something 'bout the way you save my life
Something 'bout the way you
Hold my body tight even on my lowest night
Locked down my by side even when I'm borderline
Yeah, I don't even know why I push you away
It's something 'bout the way you
Hold my body tight even on my lowest night
Locked down by my side even when I'm borderline
Yeah, I don't even know why I push you away (push you away)
It's something 'bout the way you, the way you
Way you move me
Way you move me
Yeah, yeah
Move me
Drive us off the road, I take a good thing and I break it
Think it's it my soul
The way I run from something real

Lightning
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't know what to say
One look and then you blew me away
I'm spiralling all over the place
So lifted, got me reaching for grace
Body off the ground
Caught me by surprise
Like seeing shooting stars in the sky
There's danger in the dark of your eyes
But something 'bout you breathes me to life
Got me here and now
Heartbreak already hit me once
They say that it won't happen twice
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Blinded, blinded
You took me down, I don't mind it, mind it
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Electrified with love on the line
So different, every touch, every time
Connected by invisible wires
Don't you cut me out, ah-ah-ah
Heartbreak already hit me once
So swear that it won't happen twice
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Blinded, blinded
You took me down, I don't mind it, mind it
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Uh-uh, uh, uh, uh-uh
Tell me what you want, tell me what you want
Lightning, lightning
Give it to ya, give it to ya
(Walk away, I'll follow my soul)
Blinded, blinded
Yeah, tell me what you want, tell me what you want
L-L-L-L-L-L-Lightning, l-l-l-l-l-l-lightning
Lightning
Your love, lightning
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Blinded, blinded
You took me down, I don't mind it, mind it
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Don't know what to say
One look and then you blew me away
I'm spiralling all over the place
So lifted, got me reaching for grace
Body off the ground
Caught me by surprise
Like seeing shooting stars in the sky
There's danger in the dark of your eyes
But something 'bout you breathes me to life
Got me here and now
Heartbreak already hit me once
They say that it won't happen twice
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Blinded, blinded
You took me down, I don't mind it, mind it
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you
Like lightning
Electrified with love on the line
So different, every touch, every time
Connected by invisible wires
Don't you cut me out, ah-ah-ah
Heartbreak already hit me once
So swear that it won't happen twice
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
You struck me down like lightning, lightning
My stupid heart can't fight it, fight it, uh-uh
So tell me what you want and I'ma give it to you

Every Rule
When I met you, it was tragic
Chemistry something like magic
You were with somebody else long term
And I was with somebody else as well
Met up late night by the bowery
And in the morning, we got coffee
Acting like strangers and told no friends
It wasn't easy to pretend
And we know that it's wrong, but it feels real fun
Sneakin' around, fallin' deep in love
But sometimes I get scared 'cause I know it's unfair
I'm hurtin' someone else instead
I'm breakin' every rule for you
You're breakin' every rule for me
I'm breakin' every rule for you
But I gotta say, I want it this way
These moments really set me free
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Straight away, we started fallin'
Conversation never boring
When your lips brushed up against my skin
All I wanted was to let you in
I wonder if people will notice
Said you find it so hard to focus
Cigarettes up on the balcony
Wrapped up in nothin' but sheets
And we know that it's wrong, but it feels real fun
Sneakin' around, fallin' deep in love
But sometimes I get scared 'cause I know it's unfair
I'm hurtin' someone else instead
I'm breakin' every rule for you
You're breakin' every rule for me
I'm breakin' every rule for you
But I gotta say, I want it this way
These moments really set me free
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah
Ah, ah

Yuck
Not supposed to feel this way
I'm such a hypocrite
I always frown on love
It's giving me a tummy ache
(All these butterflies make me sick)
Make me fly away
(It's some Hocus Pocus shit, I'm bewitched)
For what?
Calling too much, you're breaking my phone
Mad when you do and sad when you don't
Chivalry, ooh, you're taking my coat
Too cute, no, this ain't me now
Candlelight, out on a starry night
You brush my hair to the side
And you tell me I'm pretty
Yuck, now you got me blushin'
Cheeks so red when the blood starts rushin'
Yuck, that boy's so mushy
Sending me flowers, I'm just tryna get lucky
Yuck, lookin' at me all sucky
Yuck, quit acting like a puppy
F*ck, goin' all lovey-dovey on me
You got your hopes high
Thinking 'bout it most nights
Put me on a pedestal
'Cause my love's incredible
Don't wait up for me
I can't make those plans
Catch me if you can
Just flew into Japan
Come catch me
(But don't you catch feels, that's so)
Yuck, now you got me blushin'
Cheeks so red when the blood starts rushin'
Yuck, that boy's so mushy
Sending me flowers, I'm just tryna get lucky
Yuck, lookin' at me all sucky
Yuck, quit acting like a puppy
F*ck, goin' all lovey-dovey on me
All lovey-dovey on
Yuck, all lovey-dovey on me
(Why you do this to me?)
All lovey-dovey on
Yuck, all lovey-dovey on me

Used To Know Me
You used to know me, now you don't
You used to hypnotize me, did it so easy
You, you, you, you
You had me 'round your finger
You had me on the floor
I used to be your angel
Now I'm walking out your door
You say I'm turning evil
I'll say I'm finally pure
Shine bright in my reflection
Think I lost myself before
Held me back, tied me up inside a cage
Had to change my life 'cause I knew you'd stay the same
Couldn't see you were standing in my way
I can see clearly now, now, now
You used to know me, now you don't
You used to hypnotize me, did it so easy
I'm finally free from your control
I don't need a kiss goodbye
I'm on my own tonight, oh
You used to know me, now you don't
You used to hypnotize me, did it so easy
I'm finally free from your control
I don't need a kiss goodbye
I'm on my own tonight, oh
I'm like a flower blooming
Since I left you behind
Don't know what I was doing
Thought your venom was divine
Knew you were turning evil
You said I lost my mind
No, you ain't gon' do me like that
Held me back, tied me up inside a cage
Had to change my life 'cause I knew you'd stay the same
Couldn't see you were standing in my way
I can see clearly now, now, now

Twice
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
When it's too much
There's a gun to my head
When it's too much
Got me feeling so scared
Yeah, real talk with my demons lately
Real talk in the mirror, save me
When it's too much (too much, much)
Gotta live life good, appreciate it
Nothing is forever
Lucky to remember
Stay up in the moment
All night, all night, yeah
All the things I love are gonna leave me
One day, you're never gonna be there
I tell myself to take it easy
Don't think twice about it, baby
Up on the hill, we'll see it all end
Die happy thinking 'bout my best friends
'Til then I'm diving off the deep end
Don't think twice about it I say
Don't think twice, don't think twice
Don't, don't, don't think twice

Don't, don't, don't think twice
Don't think about it
When I let go
Let my body ascend
Let the love through
See the light at the end
Yeah, real talk with my demons lately
Real talk in the mirror, so brave
When I let go
I'll say I lived life good, appreciated
Nothing is forever
Lucky to remember
Stay up in the moment
All night, all night, yeah
All the things I love are gonna leave me
One day, you're never gonna be there

Crash (stylized in all caps) is the fifth studio album by British singer Charli XCX, released on 18 March 2022. It was her last album to be released under her record contract with Asylum Records. Charli announced the album title, release date, and artwork on 4 November 2021. Her website was also updated with information about the album's 2022 tour.
The album was preceded by the four singles "Good Ones", "New Shapes" featuring Christine and the Queens and Caroline Polachek, "Beg for You" featuring Rina Sawayama, "Baby" and two promotional singles, "Every Rule" and "Used to Know Me", the latter released as the fifth single in April 2022.
Whereas Charli's prior work was known for its experimental, hyperpop production, Crash features a more conventional dance-pop sound, with Charli dubbing it her "major label sell-out" record. Desiring to play a satirical role, she hypersexualized herself, took songs written for her by others, and used an A&R person for the first time in her career.
Songs from the album include elements of pop music of the '80s and '90s, and Charli has cited Janet Jackson, among others, as a musical influence for the album. David Cronenberg's 1996 film of the same name inspired aesthetic themes of the album, including the title and artwork.
Crash received generally positive reviews from music critics and became Charli's most commercially successful album to date, topping the charts in Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. It also became her first top ten album in New Zealand and the United States.
