White sheets, you and me used to lay close
Blue summer, sittin’ high in the window
Phone calls every night, had a new glow
My clique running through my mind like a rainbow
We were so in love, so we let go
Took it in our lungs, then we all choked
Long drive, so divine when the sun showed
My clique running through my mind like a rainbow
I miss them every night
I miss them by my side
Catch my tears when I cry
My clique on me for life
Driving ’round at dawn, look at you, lip bite
Something in my chest, feel the tension breaks
Want to stand still, won’t forget this time
I miss them, I miss them, I miss them
White sheets, you and me used to lay close
Blue summer, sittin’ high in the window
Phone calls every night, had a new glow
My clique running through my mind like a rainbow
We were so in love, so we let go
Took it in our lungs, then we all choked
Long drive, so divine when the sun showed
My clique running through my mind like a rainbow (Yeah)
I miss them
I miss them, I miss them, I miss them
I miss them
I miss them every night
I miss them
I miss them, I miss them, I miss them
I miss them (I miss them, I miss them)
I miss them every night
I’m next level, so legit with all my
Clique, clique, clique, yeah (Yeah)
I’m next level, so legit with all my, yeah, yeah, yeah
I’m next level, so legit with all my (I miss them)
Clique, clique, clique, yeah, yeah
I’m next level, so legit with all my (Charli)

About "C2.0"

Song Meaning

“C2.0” by Charli XCX is a reimagined, emotional version of her earlier track “Click,” transformed into a reflective ode to friendship and longing during the COVID-19 lockdown. Originally a bold celebration of her artistic crew, the track shifts into a melancholic space, expressing the loneliness and isolation brought on by physical separation from loved ones. Featuring a looped and pitch-shifted sample of Kim Petras’ vocals, the hypnotic production mirrors the repetitive nature of quarantine life, while Charli’s heartfelt lyrics break through to convey her yearning for connection and shared experiences. Blending glitchy intros with euphoric bass lines, “C2.0” captures both the sadness and beauty of remembering joyful moments with friends, making it a powerful sonic time capsule of the pandemic era.

Song Background

“C2.0” is the eighth track on Charli XCX’s fourth studio album, How I’m Feeling Now, released on May 15, 2020. The album was conceived, written, and produced in just over a month during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, with Charli collaborating remotely with her team and fans. “C2.0” is a reimagined version of her 2019 song “Click,” originally a bold anthem celebrating her artistic circle. In this iteration, the track transforms into a poignant reflection on friendship and longing during lockdown. The song features a looped, pitch-shifted sample of Kim Petras’ vocals from the original track, creating a hypnotic effect that underscores the repetitive and isolating nature of quarantine life. As the song progresses, Charli’s vocals break through the loop, expressing a deep yearning for reconnection and the shared experiences of the past. This transformation from a celebratory tune to a melancholic ode encapsulates the collective sense of loss and the desire for togetherness that many felt during periods of isolation.

Interpretation

2.0” by Charli XCX is an introspective reinterpretation of her earlier track “Click,” shifting from celebration to vulnerability as it explores the emotional impact of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. The song interprets the repetitive, looping sample of Kim Petras’ vocals as a metaphor for the monotony and emotional numbness of quarantine life. As the track unfolds, Charli’s voice cuts through, expressing a deep sense of longing for her friends and the freedom of past shared experiences. It becomes a sonic representation of missing connection, where the distorted, glitchy soundscape mirrors the confusion and emotional fragmentation of being apart. Ultimately, “C2.0” reflects how isolation reshaped her understanding of community, turning what was once a boastful anthem into a haunting and heartfelt message of yearning and hope for reconnection.
