About This Track

Charli XCX strips back to pure ambition on 'Trophy', a two-and-a-half-minute sprint of competitive swagger and material appetite. The track samples the dance scene from Pulp Fiction, producer SOPHIE threading that cinematic moment into a loop that anchors the whole thing, whilst Charli builds her case over it: "I want that trophy", she repeats, the refrain simple enough to stick but delivered with enough conviction to feel like something more than a slogan. The song is less interested in subtlety than in the sheer velocity of wanting, in the pleasure of stating desire without apology. What emerges is a track that treats winning as a collective act. The lyrics invoke a global sisterhood, a shared takeover, all the girls in control. It's boastful without meanness, celebratory rather than cruel. The production stays lean and propulsive, the kind of thing that sounds equally at home in a club or blaring from a phone speaker at three in the morning. 'Trophy' doesn't complicate its own message; it just delivers it, over and over, until the repetition becomes its own kind of power.

"Trophy" is a track by Charli XCX, from the album Vroom Vroom - EP, released 26th February 2016. The track is 2:39 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 19 articles about Charli XCX.

Lyrics

Trophy

("I wanna win,
I want that trophy")

(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo) I want that trophy
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo) I want that trophy

Yeah, bitch, I'm here to take that crown
Make you move it up and down
Pull up, pull out the tangerine dreams
Step out of that limousine
We walk in, and we flossy
Your B keep it bink, and we bossy
Hey, it's like I told you so, number one

Take the crown, shut it down, 'bout to steal the show
Shooting star, I'm a boss, Marilyn Monroe
All the girls 'round the world, now we in control
All the girls 'round the world, one, two, three, let's go
Take the crown, shut it down, 'bout to steal the show
Shooting star, I'm a boss, Marilyn Monroe
All the girls 'round the world, now we in control
All the girls 'round the world, one, two, three, let's go

I want that trophy
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo) I want that trophy
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo) I want that trophy

Bitch, I'm here to fuck you up
Wanna make your bottle pop (ooh, nah)
I'm 'bout to drop, looking like "wow"
We spending 'cause we got this
These dollars all in my pockets
I'm like a diamond in the sky, so high
Bitch, I'm here to fuck you up
Wanna make your bottle pop (ooh, nah)
I'm 'bout to drop, looking like wow
We spending 'cause we got this
These dollars all in my pockets
I'm like a diamond in the sky, so high

Take the crown, shut it down, 'bout to steal the show
Shooting star, I'm a boss, Marilyn Monroe
All the girls 'round the world, now we in control
All the girls 'round the world, one, two, three, let's go

I want that trophy
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo) I want that trophy
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo) I want that trophy

Throw it up!
Throw it up!
Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo, woo) Throw it up!
(Woo) I want that trophy
