The track veers between unadorned balladry and wild blasts of hyperpop distortion, and as Delevingne recorded it with collaborator BJ Burton (Charli XCX, Bon Iver), the model\/actress\/musician was thinking about how the public only knows her \u201cthrough a phone or on a billboard or in a magazine or something,\u201d she says. \u201cThere was this thing of wanting it to feel like the real me was breaking through the phone, trying to break out of this version of myself that people had known or had preconceived or whatever. Which is why having those moments of purity break through that industrial, processed sound felt really good.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cara Delevingne - I Forgot \/ Out of my Head (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OCOMqs1dC3k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe song, released alongside the trip-hoppy \u201cOut of My Head,\u201d is also about getting used to how intense life has felt since Delevingne got sober circa 2022, \u201cthat kind of arid, raw feeling you get, exposed and unmedicated, just living life for the first time as a sober person,\u201d she says. \u201cYou feel like the danger-seeking behavior or the rebellion is a part of you, but underneath it all is actually this little kid and this innocence. Rediscovering that felt scary. Also realizing that you\u2019re not invincible and you can\u2019t continue living a life where you don\u2019t put your health first, whether that be mental or physical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tSobriety was an \u201camazing catalyst\u201d for Delevingne to finally pursue the music career that had always been lurking in the background for her. Her debut album, recorded with Burton, drops on Warner in late summer, and she\u2019s heading out on tour starting in June for a six-month run, with some shows already sold out. \u201cThere was this part of me that always thought I was gonna do it,\u201d she says. \u201cI just knew I was going to be a bit older and have that experience under my belt and have that point of view, that belief in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ editors-pick-module lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tEditor\u2019s picks<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tShe\u2019s been singing, writing songs, and playing drums and guitar nearly her whole life. Among the breadcrumbs leading here: She wrote and recorded a song on the soundtrack for her 2017 movie <em>Valerian<\/em>, popped up as a guest vocalist on her friend <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/fiona-apple\/\" id=\"auto-tag_fiona-apple\" data-tag=\"fiona-apple\">Fiona Apple<\/a>\u2018s <em>Fetch the Bolt Cutters<\/em>, sang on  St. Vincent\u2019s \u201cPills,\u201d and scored a songwriting credit on Dijon\u2019s <em>Baby <\/em>last year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOn Delevingne\u2019s upcoming album, Apple repays the favor, co-writing the lyrics to the club-ready track \u201cNeed It.\u201d \u201cWe were writing things down on Post-it notes and sending them to each other, which is really funny, because we could have just been texting these lyrics,\u201d she says. \u201cI wanted to do a song that honored her \u2014 honored her impact for me as a person and as an artist. I think without the experience of going in the studio with her, I\u2019d never have felt like I could be myself, a bit like a kid, and not have to act like I know what I\u2019m doing or perform or change myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:819px\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  lrv-u-border-a-2\">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((1024\/819)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-align-items-center\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-a-font-body-xs lrv-u-margin-t-050 lrv-u-text-align-center\">Blair Brown*<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tAs a teenager, Delevingne signed a deal with Simon Fuller\u2019s 19 Management, which wanted to turn her into a standard-edition pop star, an idea she ultimately rejected. \u201cThey wanted to push me into being an artist that was curated or designed by the people in charge, I think, at that point,\u201d she says. \u201cThat just wasn\u2019t ever something I was interested in for music. My favorite music has to come from the places you maybe don\u2019t even want to look at sometimes. And even if it\u2019s harder to get to that, that was gonna be the only route I wanted to take. But I just had to be patient with myself, be gentle, let it happen, let it grow. It\u2019s like a tree.
