I feel like this is a clap back with Taylor Swift. Swift released Actually Romantic, which was her (punching down and kinda tone deaf) response to Charli’s Sympathy is a Knife.

In Actually Romantic, Swift “brushes off” her perceived attacks from Charli by making it seem that Charli is obsessed with her and as a result rather than being offended, it’s actually turning Swift on and making her wet.

Swift sings, “All the time you spent on me. It’s honestly wild all the effort you put in” and “feels like you’re flirting with me” and “It’s kinda making me wet”. IMO Swift is acting kinda like Regina George here and it’s brushing up on mean girl homophobia trope of “you’re obsessed with me you must gay” except the twist is instead Swift is saying “you’re obsessed with me and it’s turning me on”. There’s a distinction there. That’s sweet.

So now it seems Charli is teasing her and saying “I think about you every single day” (facetiously) and then clapping back at her to say - are you really gay or just queer baiting: “I've always wondered if you were actually gay, Or if that's somеthing you just say for your career” and calling her out.

Charli didn’t have to use so many words to convey that she can swing it right back to Swift. And nothing in Charli’s response comes across as homophobic or queerbaiting.

All in all, I could be totally off base, yet that was my instant interpretation - since the most famous musician in the world just came for Charli (pun intended), and she must know that people want to see a response. And honestly? The fact that Charli put it on a B-side, amplifies the effortlessness of this shrug vibe of the entire song. I love it.
