Serves as the soundtrack to some movie. This girl has to be huge! Far too talented to go unnoticed.

Oops! Didn't notice there was already a thread for this. I need this to be extra huge. My spring anthem for sure.

I'm indifferent to this song but it definitely sounds like a smash to me. I never really picked up on it until others here drew the comparison, but she really does sound like a Gwen Stefani Jr.

This song is on the verge of a huge explosion. Her sophomore era has the potential to be her true breakthrough.
I think the song is prominently featured in the movie, which is estimated to open huge this weekend, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it in the top 10 (or near it) on itunes come Monday.

Just started getting into this. I hope this can pull off doing something. She already has two top 2 hits under her belt on pop under features from Icona Pop and Iggy Azalea, so hopefully solo will work out for her. This is pretty catchy too.
And I second the whole "sounds like Gwen Stefani" thing. I couldn't hear it so much in "I Love It," kinda sorta heard it in "Fancy," but she really does sound like a young Gwen Stefani in this track.

Is this her first try as a solo act in the US? Or did they try and release another before this?

Didn't care for her on "I Love It," absolutely hated her on "Fancy," but I'm really liking this.

Nope, this is her first solo single in the US. Has there ever been an artist whose breakout single was from a soundtrack? Not that I immediately know of. Unless Miley Cyrus counts? Or Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale? Or Hilary Duff? Miley - Hannah Montana soundtracks and "See You Again" was from Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus, but it was from the non-soundtrack disc, but you could only buy both discs together. Vanessa & Ashley - Both charted from the High School Musical soundtrack before they released solo efforts, but it's not like anything from HSM was a big hit. "Breaking Free" peaked at #4 on the Hot 100, but that was back when digital sales had a much larger percentage on the chart. Hilary - "Why Not" and "What Dreams Are Made Of" (both from Lizzie McGuire) weren't chart topping hits at all, but it's not like they went completely unnoticed either. So, other than those Disney starlets, I can't think of any others that come close to doing so. Unless there's just a huge example I'm completely forgetting.

Flo Rida's "Low" came from one of the Step Up soundtracks. That's all I can think of.
And if we're counting the Disney thing, Demi's "This Is Me" from Camp Rock reached #9 on the Hot 100, and Selena's "Tell Me Something I Don't Know" from Another Cinderella Story peaked just outside the Top 50, I believe.

Lisa Loeb from Reality Bites and Simple Minds from the Breakfast Club are two that come to mind for me. But those are 20 and 30 year old examples.

Then again almost anyone paired up with the AWFUL Iggy shines BRIGHTLY Also SHE is the MAIN reason why "Fancy" has gone to #1. I said it FIRST time I heard it & will FOREVER stick by my words. Just think 5, 10, 15 years down the line..."I'm so fancy...you already know" will be the MOST memorable. Oh yeah this track is growing on me QUICK!!! Love me some Charli XCX

This is so much less imaginative and interesting than most of the "True Romance" tracks, but you know what, Charli XCX deserves fame and success so I'm totally fine with this gaining traction.
Plus, it is pretty damn fun.

Love this! Very early 90s sounding. It reminds me of a few songs from that time but can't quite put my finger on them.
