Should I Be a Mom, or Should I Stay a ‘Brat’?

On a recent episode of the Las Culturistas podcast, Charli XCX shared the inspiration for one of her songs: a friend who’d just become a mother. Charli told the hosts that “I think about it all the time,” from her new album, Brat, came out of a songwriting session at a friend’s Stockholm apartment. The friend was wearing the same clothes she usually wore; her apartment looked the same as it always had; they were writing songs together as they always did. But at the same time, “Everything was different,” Charli said. “Because she has the key to this door that I’m not even in the same room as yet. Do you know what I mean?”
