I am here at South by Southwest with Kiss Charlie Kiss. Great to see you. You look so hot. You look hotter than anybody I've seen here in Austin.

Thank you.

Fantastic. What do you think, as an English girl, what do you think of Austin? What do you think of the whole Texas vibe? Because I feel like England and Texas couldn't be sort of further in terms of like what people think of, in terms of like lifestyle and that.

Um Sorry, can you say the question again? I was totally dreaming right then. Sorry.

Yeah. What were you dreaming about? That could be the more interesting question.

I don't know. Well, uh That's on Texas. I'm an English girl. On Texas, food, love it. Weather, love it. Cowboys, love it.

Oh my gosh, you've just answered three more of my questions without me even asking.

Oh, sorry.

No, no, no, no, that's a good thing. So, you just went to a Miley Cyrus concert. I read on your Twitter.

Yes.

How was that?

The best concert I have ever been to in my life. And probably the best concert I will ever go to in my life.

Why? In terms of what? She's what, people? People, you know, I don't get her and they don't.

She's the best right now. I think. She's the best pop star. She's like the only rock star. Literally everything was so good about it. Like, her voice was perfect the whole way through. She looked amazing. The graphics were incredible, the lights. Like, just the whole thing was so cool. And then she liked favorited another tweet that I wrote. And I was like, it's almost like we're friends.

Isn't it weird? When somebody that you really like favorites your tweet.

Yeah. It's pretty weird. The Backstreet Boys tweeted me once. I did a cover of I Want It That Way and they were like, hey, we like this. Well done you. And I was like, cool.

Wow. Well, I was going to ask you because I know a lot of people have covered your songs. Who would be the ultimate person that could cover one of your songs?

Spice Girls covering a Charli XCX song would be pretty cool.

That would be good. I'd like to hear that. I read something that you said that the best songs, or at least for you, are written really quickly, like within a half an hour.

Yes.

Can you talk to me about maybe one particular half hour that has been sort of stood out in your mind as being like you're in that zone and things are just happening and which song it was?

I wrote a song called I Love It.

Yeah, a few people heard that one. Just a few.

Yeah, I get really embarrassed talking about it because I don't want to be like, I wrote this song called that everybody knows. But then I have to talk about it when people ask me about it because I hate talking about it. But I actually whenever I talk about the 30 minutes thing, I'm really basing it off that one song. And yeah, I mean, I think that that song did pretty good.

Did you sit down to write or were you sort of just something hit you and then you then because something hit you would sit down and write it?

Okay. So, what happened was I was in Sweden for the first time and the producer I was working with, Patrick Berger, I'd never met before and I don't really like working with people, like going straight in with someone I don't really know. So, I asked him to send me songs to my hotel and I just put one of them on and like recorded my literally the first ideas that were in my head and that was I Love It. And then it was done. It was cool. It was really cool. Like, I always feel like the best stuff comes like that. It's like the spontaneous reaction to what you hear, I think, is generally like the best thing that you'll get.

Are you a spontaneous person outside of writing?

Yes. I had a show maybe like a few hours ago and it was five minutes till I was going on stage and then I noticed that there was like a pop-up clothes store next to the stage. Like, on in in like a different venue, but like next to it, I could see it. I was like, I really want to go shopping now. So, I was like, run, run, run. And I went in and this is where I bought this. Oh my gosh. And I love your skirt. When you walked in, I was like, wow, she looks incredible. Yeah. So, I got that and I got two other dresses. And I was like, quick, I need to change. And then went on stage. So, I guess I'm kind of spontaneous.

Wow. See, I don't need an excuse to shop. I mean, any time, I would shop. I'm like with you. I'm out. Yeah, you just got to. Right before she goes out stage. I love it. Okay, so I have a little because we are in Texas, a little quick little either or situation for you to find out if you're a country girl or a city girl. Okay. Right.

Yeah, I'm ready.

Cowboy boots or platform shoes?

Platform shoes.

Barbecue or sushi?

Sushi. Oh, sushi. Sorry.

Okay. Deep fried donuts or candy?

Candy.

And cowboy or city boy?

Cowboy. Of course. Right.

I think that was the only way, the only country thing you chose. Everything else was city. Oh, really? Okay. This was fun. Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Great seeing you here. Come see us in LA.

I will. If you move there.

Yay. So cool.
