Ahead of her anticipated appearance on Saturday Night Live, or SNL, Charli XCX stated, “She’d obviously just done [SNL in September] and killed it, so I was getting tips,” adding, “She was just like, ‘You’re gonna be amazing, just relax, it’s so fun.'”

The iconic pair of songstresses have worked together on a collaborative track featured on the Speed Drive hitmaker’s critically-lauded brat album remix, titled, Sympathy is a knife.

On one of brat and it’s completely different but still brat’s most successful songs, Grande and Charli XCX sing of how fame and success is like a double-edged sword

“It’s a knife when somebody says they like the old me and not the new me, and I’m like, ‘Who the fuck is she?'” the 7 Rings crooner sings in the track.

According Variety, in her latest interview, Charli XCX, talking about the collaboration said that Grande “gravitated towards that song.”

She continued, “She had a lot to say. We went back and forth on the lyrics, talking about all the knives that we both felt in in this industry.”
