“If You Ask Me To” by Charli D’Amelio
Charli D’Amelio’s “If You Ask Me To” is a song of both heartbreak and unrequited love. That is to say that, as eventually revealed in the second verse, the vocalist and addressee used to be an item.
But in the here and now, he has moved on to someone else, whom Charli basically considers to be a third party in their relationship. And that would be the person who, as also implied in the second verse, the addressee unceremoniously dumped the vocalist for. Yet and still, Charli can actually perceive why he is so attracted to this other lady and conclusively, still has strong feelings for him.
So this is a very vulnerable love song, one in which many may argue that the vocalist should just leave the apple of her eye alone.
And to some degree, it reads as if she already has, more or less by force. But the unfortunate reality for Charli is that being officially separated from her ex still doesn’t minimize the discomfort she feels as a result of not having him, which is exacerbated when she sees him with the next chick.
So as the situation currently stands, if the addressee were to ‘ask her to’, the vocalist would expeditiously “come running” back.
Charli D’Amelio
As you probably already know the vocalist in this case, Charli D’Amelio, is a certified social media star. She owes her come-up most notably to TikTok.
Although TikTok has come to be used for a multitude of purposes, it is primarily known as a music-based video platform.
As such, a number of personalities who have proven popular on this platform have ventured into full-fledged music careers. One such famous personality is Charli’s older sister, Dixie. Charlie herself made a name for herself therein largely as a dancer.
So with that said, “If You Ask Me To” holds the distinction of being Charli’s first single.
