“Sucker” is the title track and headstrong opener of Charli XCX’s sophomore studio album.
In this punk-inspired track, Charli brags about living the rock life, while rejecting an overly eager pursuer. The song is a ‘FU’ to people who didn’t believe she had what it takes to take on the industry:

[Chorus]
You said you wanna bang
Well, fuck you, sucker!
[Verse 1]
Head bang (bang), pink rocks (rocks)
Gold fangs (flexing), shit hot
Brick walls, don't stop
My hands, fresh cuts (sick)
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh dear God, do you get me now, do you get me now, oh, you do?
Wow, you're awesome
Oh dear God, I'm a killer now, I'm a killer now, so are you
Wow you're awesome
[Chorus] (2x)

[Pre-Chorus - Variation]
Oh dear God, do you get me now, do you get me now, oh, you do?
Wow you're awesome

Wow you're awesome
Wow you're awesome
[Outro]
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
Bang, bang
I'm a killer
Fuck you! Sucker!
Sucker!
Sucker!
Sucker!
Fuck you!
