Crash & Burn Girl
Robyn · Robyn [2007]
I should write a song about you
And all the shit that you do
You don't even know what's up
But soon it all comes crashing down on you
Since we're on the subject
Tell me why your name is in the dictionary when I look up idiot
Check yourself it's very necessary
Stop listen what's that sound
Supersonic spinning round
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
You should have a sticker on you
Saying warning keep out
You're the kinda girl that'll mess you up for life
That's smashing up his car
Your crying on his doorstep, and waiting in the rain all night
And did you tell him you're the kind that never show your ugly side
Until you sticking like glue (Until you sticking like glue)
Stop listen what's that sound
Supersonic spinning round
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
It's just that every time you mess it up like that I see myself in you
I've been there to
And there's so many times I stand beside and see what you are going through
Where you headed to
Stand By!
Crash and burn girl
Going down down down down down
Crash and burn girl, yeah
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl
You keep on banging your head girl your shirt's all red
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Crash and burn girl (You're going down)
You keep on banging your head girl your shirt's all red
Crash and burn girl
You don't mind the fall until your face hits the ground
Oh no
Yeah
Gettin' burned
Oh why yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Going down, going down
Going down
Oh no, haha you're going down
Going down
You crash and burn girl
Crash & Burn Girl
Crash & Burn Girl stands as a standout track from Robyn's 2007 self-titled album, a record that marked a significant evolution in her musical identity. During this era, the Swedish pop icon began shifting toward a more introspective and emotionally complex sound, moving away from the pure dance-pop of her earlier years. The song captures the raw vulnerability and rhythmic precision that would later define her global breakthrough. As part of a cohesive body of work, this recording highlights her ability to blend melancholic themes with infectious melodies. The album itself is widely regarded as a pivotal moment in her discography, showcasing a maturing artist ready to explore deeper emotional territories while maintaining her signature pop sensibilities.
