Charli XCX originally wrote "Blame It on Your Love" in Los Angeles with long-standing collaborators Stargate in the mid-2010s. She kept the tune on the backburner for three or four years until she recruited Atlantic Records labelmate/UglyDolls co-star Lizzo to drop some rhymes. "Until Lizzo was on it, it wasn't perfect," Charli explained to BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac. "She just pulled it together. I mean, her energy is just so amazing."
The upbeat song finds Charli XCX apologizing to her lover for upsetting him. Every time you get too close I run, I run away And every time you say the words, I don't know what to say Back, back to the beginning, really wish that I could change I do, I do, I do Charli blames his love for her for her hurtful behavior.
Lizzo's guest verse gives an outsider's perspective saying it's Charli's lover's fault for feeling hurt. He shouldn't have fallen so hard for her allure. Gotta blame it on the, blame it on the Blame it on the juice Blame it on the juice Lizzo is alluding to her own breakthrough single "Juice."
