After nearly a decade of branding herself as a rave-happy club kid who parties until five in the morning, Charli XCX’s facade cracked. On “Gone,” she feels adrift at an event and spirals into despair. “I feel so unstable/Fucking hate these people,” Charli sings over an ’80s funk-pop beat. These lines about unbelonging also double as a metaphor for the constrictions she faces as a major-label artist who is expected to churn out chart hits but prefers to tweak and deconstruct them instead. Joining the rampage is fellow pop rule-breaker Héloïse Letissier of Christine and the Queens, who descends into paranoia, posing some truly mystifying questions about whether she’s “the smoke” or “the sun.” The madness escalates into a breakdown of glitching vocal chops, metallic clanking, and dramatic power-synth fills. It’s the soundtrack to a mental breakdown, the kind that ensues right before you come back even stronger. –Michelle Kim

近十年来，Charli XCX一直将自己标榜为一个狂欢俱乐部的孩子，聚会开到凌晨5点，现在她的门面裂开了。在《Gone》中，她在一次活动中感到飘忽不定，陷入绝望之中。“我感觉如此不稳定/十分恨这些人，”Charli在80年代的放克流行乐节拍上唱道。这些关于孤立感的歌词，也是对她作为大厂牌艺术家所面临限制的隐喻，她被期望制造出热门榜单歌曲，但她更喜欢对其进行微调和解构。克里斯汀和皇后区的另一位不遵循传统流行音乐规则的艺术家Héloïse Letissier也加入了这场狂热，她陷入了偏执，提出了一些真正令人费解的问题，比如她是“烟雾”还是“太阳”。整首歌十分疯狂，融入了故障声效，金属敲击，和戏剧性的合成器。这首歌就像在你变得更强大之前经历的那段精神崩溃的配乐。
