You Have Charli XCX’s Permission to Masturbate
No, really, get right to it.
And yes, it’s the former. “It’s a feminist statement more than a song telling you to put your hand in your pants,” Charli explained, “because girls should own their own bodies.” She continued with a worthy mantra; a call to arms, or, you know, delicate fingers: “‘If they’re going to be sexualised, they should sexualise themselves and not let someone else do it for them.” Enjoy to “Body of My Own” below, which should have you dancing if nothing else:
