The night before she released it, while I was at Partygirl in Mexico City, she played “Green Light” right after “Girl, so confusing. In that moment, I knew a collaboration was coming.

[@deliacordero110]

honestly the moment the remix came out, i freaked out because both of them are some of my favorite artists, and hearing lorde's verse made me extremely emotional because she was so honest. it was such a wild but perfect collab for the girl, so confusing remix

[@autumnr9818]

i didn’t think this video was going to make me cry but women’s relationships can be so beautiful and easy. realizing we’re all like other girls in all the ways that truly count is such a beautiful moment in every woman’s life regardless of how they came to that realization and i’m glad these kind of “oh we were both in our own heads and that’s all it was. i have your back now that i understand you” moments are something that even celebrities with as large of lives as these two can publicly have. “girl power i suppose”

ah the classic 'i have depression and don't want to interact' meets the 'i have anxiety and WILL overanalyze why you are not interacting' dynamic, BEEN THERE!! i assume it's because lorde is just dealing with her own stuff, but i do not think of charli's life as being a party right now. to me it seems that charli has been in deep mourning since SOPHIE passed

honestly i think this song is so touching and healing for so many women and femmes who have had friendships fall apart due to socially being compared to each other constantly in childhood and teenage hood. this song makes me tear up every time.

[@shameonyou1681]

i wish people took this and understood how misogynistic our culture is instead of acting like it's normal for two grown successful women to be dealing with fuckin body dysmorphia despite being seen as the standard to an extent. Like ofc it's nice to feel like you can relate to an artist you like or that hearing they have insecurities humanizes them but it's not normal, we should never act like women feeling this way is normal. It feels impossible but you can literally fight this feeling and if you see it in others encourage them to fight it too. Don't allow a culture built to destroy women's self esteems only to sell us back a "cure" to the problem it causes to ever fuckin win

[@tavua]

prior to quarantine, i never really was an avid music listener, but lorde was always one of the standout artists in the small playlists i would make. i'm 19 now, so in middle school when melodrama came out, i was obsessed with green light and was always a standout song to me before i even knew the type of music that wasn't mainstream or played on the radio. when quarantine came around is when i truly became obsessed with music as a hobby. charli was the first artist, specifically her how i'm feeling now album, that inspired me to explore music that had been hidden away from me for all these years. not only is this an objectively iconic moment in pop culture, but is also really special to me that two formative artists for me were able to come together to create such a spectacular, honest piece of music. the selfish side of me really hopes charli is somewhere on an L4 track!!

this video was so insightful as someone who didn’t know about lorde and charli in the 2010’s, i just love how in the track whenever they say girl, it’s enunciated kind of like they’re calling out to each other, the pause before the “…girl” is like WOW i am so grateful to witness this moment in pop, people should work it out on the remix more. 🍏

[@sunmarsh]

The ‘there are three’ tease plus the way this track was named as the “…version with Lorde” really leads me to believe there is yet another version of this song to be released. Three versions. Marina, where u at, girl? 😘

The way your video and the song made me cry, but they were happy tears. I'm so happy they are showing unity. That's inspiring. Also, Lorde did an excellent job.

I cry every time I hear Lorde say I would ride for you Charli and Charli says I would ride for you too

[@DeathGrip1202]

This might genuinely song of the year. Something to note is how Lorde's introspective, confessional verse fits so well with brat's confessional nature. A way to interpet that is how Charli's on openness finally allowed Lorde to open up too. Genuinely feels like such a therapeutic moment not just for the two but for us. Just the power of art bringing people together.
