“"Cool Girl” is an electropop song written by Tove Lo, Ludvig Söderberg, and Jakob Jerlström, with its production handled by the latter two as the production duo The Struts. Lyrically, the song is about an invitation to form a non-traditional and non-monogamous romance, in which the singer describes...
[Verse 1]
You can run free, I won't hold it against ya
You do your thing, never wanted a future
Fuck if I knew how to put it romantic
Speaking my truth, there's no need to panic
[Pre-Chorus]
No, let's not put a label on it
Let's keep it fun
We don't put a label on it
So we can run free, yeah
I wanna be free like you
[Chorus]
I'm a, I'm a
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
[Verse 2]
Rules you don't like, but you still wanna keep 'em (Ah)
Said you were fine so for whatever reason
Sure we can chill, try and keep it platonic (Oh, yeah)
Now you can't tell if I'm really ironic
[Pre-Chorus]
No, let's not put a label on it
Let's keep it fun
We don't put a label on it
So we can run free, yeah
I wanna be free like you
[Chorus]
I'm a, I'm a
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy (Uh)
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
[Bridge]
I got fever highs
I got boiling blood
I'm that fire kind (Yeah)
We could burn together
[Chorus]
I'm a
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy (Boy)
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
[Outro]
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl (Too cool for you)
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a
I'm a, I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy

A few words to sum it up: don’t give away your feelings and you hold the power…? I call bullshit. Lets share some deep real love ❤️
Tove Lo said she was inspired by the movie’s central “Cool Girl” speech.
The entire song has a lot layers, but the overall theme is I’m kind of just questioning all the power moves in a relationship. Especially early on when it’s like, I like you so I’m going to make you feel insecure about how I feel about you and I play that game and I feel like everyone I talk to hate...
During the tracking week ending August 27, 2016, the song debuted and peaked at #84 on the Billboard Hot 100.
