Hence her forthcoming EP's title 'Charlotte'. The six song EP is led by single 'Talk You Down', an addictive percussion-driven electronic pop number about her anxiety. Elsewhere she explores fear and struggle through a relationship on 'Sin x Secret', a sense of feeling lost on 'Cowboys', aching heartbreak on 'Slow Motion', the perils of love on 'You', and addiction and dependence on 'RX'.
Born and raised in LA, Lawrence spent little time in the city and more by the Malibu coast and up in the canyons. She grew up playing piano from the age of five and got into guitar around the age of 13. Charlotte has spent the past few years writing and recording while finding her musical voice, and she's just getting started.
Everybody Loves You
Charlotte Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't go back in time to change in someone's eyes
That I was not something to play with
Try not to talk about it, I'm too mad, I'm too late, I'm too gentle
It's too hard to explain, I'm not helpful
It's my body and I'm trying to hate you 'cause I want to
It's my body and I'm trying to while everybody loves you
It's my body and it hates you, why does everybody love you?
Sometimes I close my eyes amidst the dancing lights
When it feels too wild for breathing
I can't sleep at night
Unless I start to lie and believe it like a story, no no
Try not to think about it, so insane, I'm so used to my nightmares
It's ok 'til it's not and I'm back there, no no
It's my body and I'm trying to hate you 'cause I want to
It's my body and I'm trying to while everybody loves you
It's my body and I'm trying to forgive you, I don't want to
It's my body and it hates you, why does everybody love you?
Why does everybody love you?
They don't know enough about you
Do they know that I regret you?
Do they know I shouldn't have to?
Why does everybody love you?
They don't know enough about you
Do they know that I regret you?
Do they know I shouldn't have to?
Charlotte Lawrence's song "Everybody Loves You" speaks to the emotions of someone who has been hurt by a person everyone loves. The lyrics express the inner turmoil of the singer who is trying to navigate the complexities of their feelings towards this person. The first verse talks about the singer's exhaustion and frustration from trying to control their mind and emotions. They cannot change how someone perceives them or how they were treated. The singer is trying to suppress their anger because they feel like it's too late to talk about it or it might be too intense.
The chorus expresses the overwhelming feeling of trying to hate someone but not being able to while everyone else loves them. The singer is struggling to forgive the person because they feel like they shouldn't have to. The repetition of "It's my body" shows that they are trying to control their emotions but also struggles to distance themselves from the situation. The second verse talks about how the singer tries to escape their thoughts by closing their eyes, but it doesn't work. They cannot sleep at night and have to make up stories to avoid thinking about it.
The lyrics also hint at a sense of betrayal that the singer feels towards the people who love the person who hurt them. They question whether anyone truly knows the person they love and whether they regret that person. The lyrics "They don't know enough about you, Do they know that I regret you?" suggest that the singer may have been betrayed by those who love the offender. The song ends with the singer still grappling with their feelings and trying to process the situation.

LYRICS
I'm so tired
I have to tame my mind
Before I get too frustrated
Can’t go back in time
To change in someone’s eyes
That I was not something to play with
Try not to talk about it
I’m too mad, I’m too late, I’m too gentle
It’s too hard to explain, I’m not helpful
It’s my body
And I’m trying to
Hate you
‘Cause I want to
It’s my body
And I’m trying to
While everybody loves you
It’s my body
And I’m trying to
Forgive you
I don’t want to
It’s my body
And it hates you
Why does everybody love you
Sometimes I close my eyes
I miss the dancing lights
When it feels too wild for breathing
I can’t sleep at night
Unless I start to lie
And believe it like a story
(Oh no)
Try not to think about it
So insane
I’m so used to my nightmares
It’s okay ’til it’s not and I’m back there
(no no)
It’s my body
And I’m trying to
Hate you
‘Cause I want to
It’s my body
And I’m trying to
While everybody loves you
It’s my body
And I’m trying to
Forgive you
I don’t want to
It’s my body
And it hates you
Why does everybody love you
Why does everybody love you
They don’t know enough about you
Do they know that I regret you
Do they know I shouldn’t have to
Why does everybody love you
They don’t know enough about you
Do they know that I regret you
Do they know I shouldn’t have to

This song perfectly describes what it`s like being a victim of sexual harassment, especially if it happens from someone you trusted.

Hannah Rayan
posting something like this is usually not about attention.. She's just explaining how she personally relates with this song.. doesn't look like attention seeking to me..
fawn
It really does. It hits really close. It hurts to listen to.
maheen97
Exactly! I think this whenever I listen to it. I hope she can shed more light on it, perhaps with a powerful music video
