Miley's "Party in the U.S.A.". Ke$ha's "Tik Tok". Katy's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)". This is the chart-clobbering, brain-zapping, awe-inducing 21st century lineage to which "Doing It" clearly aspires—and just-as-clearly nails. You know it from that opening giggle, the kind of "what me worry?" laugh someone might let slip after splashing a creepy barfly with water, stealing a six pack, or draining a half-court shot. It is the sound of invincibility, of youth, of not having to be anywhere until tomorrow afternoon. Charli XCX is familiar with this sound.

同Miley的“Party in the U.S.A.”、Ke$ha的“Tik Tok”、Katy Perry的“Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)”一樣，這就是“Doing It”所向往的——也顯而易見、鐵板釘釘?shù)摹钊送鴧s步的純正21世紀榜單血統(tǒng)。你可能會注意到開頭的那種“what me worry?”式的嘲笑，這可能是某人在用水潑了一個嚇壞了的酒吧伙計、偷了一打六瓶裝飲料或是廢一個半場球之后發(fā)出的聲響。這是一種無敵的聲音、一種青春的聲音、一種表明在明天下午前可以哪都不去、啥都不用干的聲音。Charli XCX顯然對這種聲音再熟悉不過。

Along with its bubble-pop perfection, "Doing It" doubles as a joyous sign of progress. The last time I can remember the phrase "doing it" so prominently featured on a hit song was on LL Cool J's gross-at-the-time (and utterly-gross-in-retrospect)?"Doin' It"?in 1996. (Sample lyric: "Baby stick it out, here comes the man of steel.") (Sorry.) But for all the implicit and explicit fun Charli has on "Doing It", the song is not even necessarily about sex. It's the latest salvo in the current wave of female BFF-core that has been dominating the Hot 100 for months, made even clearer by the track's new remix with Charli's fellow Londoner Rita Ora (who is really getting an awful lot of chances to break out Stateside). Ora's performance neither adds nor takes away from the song's instant-party jolt, but her mere presence—especially in the video, where the dudes are the ones in pasties—can't help but bolster the sense of camaraderie. Because "Doing It" is one huge high-five, and high-fiving yourself looks pretty dumb.

除了其完美的Bubble-pop音樂，“Doing It”還標志著一個令人愉悅的進步跡象。我記憶中上一次“Doing It”這個短語如此突出地出現(xiàn)在一首熱門歌曲中，是1996年LL Cool J的“Doin'It”，當時聽到就感覺很惡心（現(xiàn)在回想起來也很惡心）?！靖柙~示例：“Baby stick it out, here comes the man of steel.”(類似于“我的很大，你忍一下?！?】(輕噴)但Charli在“Doing It”中或含蓄或直白地表達的是對真正樂趣的追求，甚至也并不一定是關于性的。這是也當前女性藝術(shù)家聯(lián)合浪潮中的最新一波Hit，幾個月來一直主導著Hot 100，這首歌與Charli的倫敦友人Rita Ora（但她確實在美國得到了很多爆紅的基于）的新混音使這一趨勢更加明晰。Ora在這首歌中的表現(xiàn)并沒對這首歌即時的派對沖擊力造成干擾，而她的存在——特別是在MV中，那些現(xiàn)象級的穿著胸罩的男人們——更是增強了女性之間的情誼。也只因“Doing It”值得我們?yōu)橹畾g呼、鼓舞，而倘若Charli只與自己擊掌那看起來就顯得格外愚蠢了。
