Let it be known that Charli XCX and her love for AutoTune hasn’t waned.

The electropop musician, who pulled double duty on last week’s SNL episode as first-time host and musical guest, declared during her monologue that “AutoTune makes everything sound better”.

“Today, I consider myself to be a triple threat, which in England means I sing, I drink and I smoke,” Charli began. “I want to take a moment to thank someone who’s been there for me my entire career: AutoTune.”

The episode also saw Charli taking the stage with her tracks 360 and Sympathy Is a Knife from her latest album, Brat, showcasing her signature AutoTuned sound.

“[Like in my] early work, I can—I could sing in tune, but now I think I’ve gotten so lazy because I sing with AutoTune all the time,” the singer said on the Tape Notes Podcast back in June.

“Like I never [go], ‘I’m not singing with AutoTune.’ Unless I’m doing karaoke, which I actively don’t do, for this reason. I’m pretty out [of pitch] because my ear is so used to leaning in.”

Charli, who’s earned seven Grammy nominations for the record Brat, also admitted her reliance on AutoTune for writing music, “cutting vocals” and “singing live” has made her “lazy” when it comes to hitting the right pitch.

“You really, really get lazy because you can relax into a note rather than being super on,” she said. “And I mean, there are some amazingly technical singers who do sing with AutoTune who are still pitch-perfect, but that’s not me. Like, I drink and I smoke and I use AutoTune, those three things.”
