## Audio

"**Femmebot**" is the sixth track from Charli XCX’s mixtape *Pop 2*. The song features singer Dorian Electra and rapper Mykki Blanco.

## Background

The track was originally an original song by A. G. Cook, it premiered in July 2016 at PC Music’s Pop City event.  The live version featured vocals from songwriter Fran Hall, and was thought to be produced by A.G. Cook and SOPHIE. The song was not played again, and was assumed to never see a release. When the track list for Pop 2 was released, it sparked speculation that this “Femmebot” was the same as the one played almost a year and half before, and the release of the mixtape confirmed this to be true.

Aside from the additional verse from Mykki Blanco and the short bridge from Dorian Electra, this track remains almost completely unchanged from the demo played over a year before.

## Lyrics

[Intro: Charli XCX]

I'll be your femmebot

I'll be your...

[Verse 1: Charli XCX]

Go fuck your prototype

I'm an upgrade of your stereotype

Don't come with a guarantee

I'll use you up like you're my battery

[Pre-Chorus 1: Charli XCX]

I feel the sparks between us

Electric shock

Hot-wired, if you mess it up

I'll self-destruct

[Chorus: Charli XCX]

The way you look at me

I-I-I short circuit

You make me lose control

It's automatic

You push my buttons

See-e-e-e how I work it

I-I-I-I get what I want

Like it or not

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]

I'll be your femmebot

I'll be your femmebot

I'll be your femmebot

I-I get what I want

Like it or not

[Verse 2: Dorian Electra]

I got you hypnotized (hypnotized)

I read your thoughts when you look in my eyes

You're just my human toy (human toy)

And I am programmed to search and destroy

[Pre-Chorus 2: Dorian Electra]

I feel the sparks between us

Electric shock

Hot-wired, if you F it up (five, four, three)

I'll self-destruct (two, one)

[Chorus: Charli XCX]

The way you look at me

I-I-I short circuit

You make me lose control

It's automatic

You push my buttons

See-e-e-e how I work it

I-I-I-I get what I want

Like it or not

The way you look at me

I-I-I short circuit

You make me lose control

It's automatic

You push my buttons

See-e-e-e how I work it

I-I-I-I get what I want

Like it or not

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]

I'll be your femmebot

I'll be your femmebot

I'll be your femmebot

I-I get what I want

Like it or not

[Verse 3: Mykki Blanco]

Ghost in the shell

I'm a beast in the sheets

I'm a neutron bomb-bomb, blowin' the beat

Gonna spray that raygun and fall to his knees

I'm a lightnin' rod, I'ma bite that bod

Do you want a femmebot or do you want a hoe-bot?

Slut-bot, fuck no, systems down

Boy, I'll clone you, boy, I'll swerve you

Glitch your mainframe, now I own you

Ex Machina-na-na, you can't win

I'm A.I. fly, I am that bitch

Is your love for real though?

I'm Trinity, you're Neo

I'm bionic, not ironic

Super Saiyan, supersonic

Hard drive crash, you don't remember

Charli bit yo wittle finga

[Bridge: Dorian Electra]

I'll be your femmebot

Girl, I'll be your femmebot, can never turn me off

I'll be, I'll be your femme-

[Chorus: Charli XCX]

The way you look at me

I-I-I short circuit

You make me lose control

It's automatic

You push my buttons

See-e-e-e how I work it

I-I-I-I get what I want

Like it or not

[Post-Chorus: Charli XCX]

I'll be your femmebot

I'll be your femmebot

I'll be your femmebot

I-I get what I want

Like it or not
