Welcome To My Island (George Daniel & Charli XCX Remix) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Charli XCX]
I like to live my life luxurious
Eating caviar toast, buying out the Ritz
I've been told I can be tricky in relationships
'Cause I need someone who can take on all the challenges
I won't lie, yeah, I've always been afraid to commit
But now I've fallen so hard, it's a total eclipse
'Cause it's emotional and physical and so legit
He's got my legs wide out like banana split
We're always showering each other in expensive gifts
I put the two-tone Cartier on his wrist
It was love at first sight from the moment wе kissed
I want a white dress, country sidе house, and kids
Back at the start, think you knew that I was dangerous
With my face enhanced and my natural lips
I told him, "Catch a flight, see if you can handle it
And if you can then, welcome to my island, bitch"

[Chorus: Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek]
Welcome to my island, bitch
Welcome to my island, bitch
Welcome to my island
See the palm trees wave in the wind

Welcome to my island, bitch
Welcome to my island
I wanna turn into you

[Verse 2: Charli XCX]
I guess I'm on my Richard Branson wave
No virgin
, but I knew just how to behave
'Cause I can be a good girl, buxom milkmaid
Or you can drive me down to Florida and fuck me for days
Back at the start, think you knew that I was dangerous
I've done a couple bad things if you catch my drift
I told him, "Baby, you can pull up on the landing strip
And if you do it right, welcome to my island, bitch"

[Chorus: Caroline Polachek, Charli XCX]
Welcome to my island
See the palm trees wave in the wind
Welcome to my island, bitch
Welcome to my island
I wanna turn into you
Welcome to my island, bitch
Desire
I wanna turn into you
Welcome to my island, bitch
Desire
I wanna turn into you

[Interlude: Caroline Polachek]
[Non-Lyrical Vocals]
[Chorus: Caroline Polachek]
Welcome to my island
See the palm trees wave in the wind
Welcome to my island
Hope you like me, you ain't leavin'
Welcome to my island
See the palm trees wave in the wind
Welcome to my island
I wanna turn into you

[Outro: Caroline Polachek]
I wanna turn into you
I wanna turn into you

Genius Answer

When Charli first texted me that they were working on that remix, I screamed. It was like nothing I’ve ever heard anyone do as a remix before. She essentially took the idea of the song and exploded it out into a whole other song — to the point that there’s almost no audio carried across from one version to the other. Charli is so wild like that, thinking outside the box, and that’s why I find her so inspiring as an artist. Also, she has some bars in that song. The landing strip line is immediately iconic and it’s so cool. George, as well, flexing outside of a band context, who knew that he’s actually the hardest dance music producer? He now has some new obligations to culture now that we know what he can do.
