Charli XCX
@Anna Devildoll Hi Anna, i didn't make 'a huge mistake'. I was totally in control of the decision that I made. I did not want the song for myself. I wanted somebody else to take that song. I'm glad that Icona Pop took it as I think they are super cool, extremely talented and something really different in the top 40 world. I was focusing on my own album, True Romance, and I Love It was not part of that. For me, I Love It was an exercise in showcasing my skills as a song writer, and that's what I have done. I am now getting requests to write for other artists, in fact right now I am sitting in a session writing for an artist that I looked up to soooo much when I was a little girl... so no, I did not make a 'huge mistake'. I wrote I love it, and I sing the whole way through it with Icona Pop. I am very proud of them and where they have taken the song. But to be honest, I'm sick of having to justify my involvement in this process and tired of being asked whether i regret giving it away. I don't. Otherwise I wouldn't have done it. I make the decisions when it comes to my career. And I'm not stupid. I'm happy right now. I'm excited for Icona Pop and I'm excited for myself. Watching this song grow around the world is crazy. And now I'm writing the second album. It's all cool.
