About this song
- "Used to Know Me" is the second promotional single from Charli XCX's fifth studio album CRASH. The track is the eleventh on the album. Charli says she was trying to emulate herself on "Fancy" — or get back into that headspace. "I really remember searching for the chorus melody to "Fancy" in a way that I hadn't really searched for a melody before. Normally I'm very instinctual and spontaneous when it comes to melodies, but with "Fancy", I had to really manoeuvre my brain around different corners to figure it out — to understand the formation of the notes. I wrote this on my own at Stargate's studios, which probably made me feel like I had to write a really big pop song, and then when I was listening to it on repeat in my car, I just started singing the synth line to "Show Me Love" by Robin S. So I called a few people and was like, 'Is this possible?' and everyone said, 'Yes, but do you care about publishing?' and I was like, 'I guess not'. It feels to me like a big song — it's about reshaping who you are after a breakup". — via Apple Music. .
