In the song, Billie's verse goes in the lines, “I wanna try it, bite it, lick it, spit it / Pull it to the side and get all up in it / Kiss it, bite it, can I fit it? / Charli likes boys, but she knows I’d hit it / (Knows I’d hit it) / Charli, call me if you’re with it.”

The report stated that a TikTok user who goes by the name @windows199x, slammed her lines and said, “Billie’s verse on 'Guess' is high-key predatory, but y’all blinded by her usual queerbaiting for commercial gain. Ever since the 'Lost Cause' controversy, she’s been reducing girls to mere objects, all in an effort to convince the masses that she’s actually into them lol. Charli is 32 and engaged FYI.”
