Not all edm is girlpop obviously, but being girlpop and being edm isn't mutually exclusive. Biscasia's song is a prime example of being both since it includes typical girlpop lyrics targeted for pre-teen and early teen girls and playing on their emotions/need of constantly being loved. Also novadays edm is (unfortunatelly) more and more taking over the popular scene, so the term "pop" besides other subgenres also encompasses a lot of edm discography. There is no such genre as pop music but it's a conglomerate of all the different genres that are popular at a time instead. For example, in the 70s pop music included also a lot of heavy metal and in the 80s most of the new wave, despite those two not being associated with modern pop music in the slightest. So to sum up, you cant say anymore that a song cant be pop if it's edm and just looking at the lyrics of Biscasia's song that hold no deeper meaning and its popularity among the targeted group of audience, everyone can tell that it's a typical example of a girlpop song.
