White Roses

Charli XCX

Charli first tweeted lyrics from the song in a tweet, on February 25th:


In his liner notes for the album, producer A. G. Cook said:

This is the final song that was made from start to finish in that week in January, though we did work on a bunch of other bits and pieces there. Charli sometimes says that this is her favourite song on the mixtape. I don’t really have a favourite (!) as it’s all a bit blended together for me, but I do think this song is special.

We were actually working on something else in studio, but then Charli and Noonie got bored and just asked me to make something new. I’m always really happy to quickly make something on the spot, but I don’t play keyboard parts in or anything like that, I simply click one note in at a time – so it was pretty funny to be booming that out in front of a small studio audience.
