Meaning
This reads as a tribute to friends who stay the same when fame or success enters the picture. It points to the comfort of being known outside the public version of a person, by people who do not treat their work as the whole story. It lands when someone wants a reminder that the oldest friendships can be the least performative.

About Charli XCX
British singer, songwriter, and actress
Charli XCX is the stage name of Charlotte Emma Aitchison, a British singer, songwriter, and actress. She emerged in the early 2010s after first posting songs on Myspace in 2008 and becoming part of the London rave scene. She signed with Asylum Records in 2010 and released a run of singles and mixtapes before her debut album, True Romance, appeared in 2013. In 2012, she co-wrote and sang on Icona Pop's "I Love It", which became her first UK number one and brought her wider international attention, even though True Romance did not meet commercial expectations.
