Following the Variety article, Charli XCX came forward and said she too recorded the song. In a tweet, the 25-year-old singer said the song was too high in pitch for her voice and Zedd may not have been feeling her "robot levels of autotune." She added, "In my opinion Marren sounds soooo beautiful on this song."
