What is the perfect pop song according to Charli XCX? Let's find out.

She is an authority. I mean, she's made at least a few.

Interviewer: What do you think is the perfect 10 out of 10 pop song? And you can define this however you want because there isn't a right answer.

Charli: I have been thinking about this all day, because I knew this was coming and I have so many answers to be honest.

Interviewer: You can drop a couple off along the way.

Charli: No, no, no. I'm gonna just-

Interviewer: You're gonna go straight in.

Charli: I'm gonna go just for one, because I've really weighed up like all the different versions of this.

Interviewer: Yeah.

Charli: I'm gonna go for M.I.A. "Paper Planes."

Interviewer: Wow.

Charli: Yeah.

Interviewer: Okay.

Charli: Because I think that is a song that is informed so much.

"Paper Planes." I mean, not only a good pick, but honestly, I'm gonna say a little bit of a cold take.

Charli kind of sidestepping any controversy on this one, because I don't know how anyone could possibly hate "Paper Planes."

It's like a perfectly produced song. Such a creative use of sampling. The kids' choruses are amazing. The gunshots are crazy.

It's so bold. It's so weird. It's so unique, but simultaneously addictive, infectious. Just scratches so many stylistic itches.

And then M.I.A.'s like unparalleled kind of left field charisma from around that time is just incredible.

But, yeah, fine pick. I totally agree.
