"It's been massively different for me, on a
personal level and on a Charli XCX level,"
says the singer (real name: Charlotte
Aitchinson) of supporting "Fancy," on which
she sings the opulent hook, as compared to
promoting "I Love It" last year. "With 'I Love
It,' there was never a plan for me to go and
write for Icona Pop -- they were just there,
and it happened, and no one really knew
what was going on. Then it was a bit of a
mess that turned into a stressful experience,
and something that I didn't really enjoy. They
were traveling the world and it was great, but
I never felt part of that process, partly due to
the nature of the song and how it sounds. I
never really felt like it was my song.
"With Iggy, it's been the flip side of that --
I've been doing TV [performances] in
America, which is so crazy for me," she
continues. Indeed, XCX has been on hand to
join Azalea and perform "Fancy" on national
TV shows like "Good Morning America" and
"Late Night with Seth Meyers" over the past
two months. "I never thought that the first
time I was on U.S. television, I'd be doing a
dance routine, but I just went with it, and I
actually really loved it. From the start, Iggy
has been like, 'This is your song as well as
my song,' which I think is very nice of her,
and it made me very excited about the song.
I feel valued."
