Why Did Cool Girl Flop?

It's dope, I always listen to it but it bomb everywhere.

It peaked at #84 in US. It failed to enter top 10 to any music markets, not even in Sweden. Streams numbers are very underwhelming too despite being exposed in Spotify's biggest playlist (with 10.5M followers).

Why is that? What happened to Tove?

I'm not sure, because it's probably the best pop song released this year.

I guess people really just want another generic island beat and songs about werking and drinking.

It's starting to get airplay in the US so no it hasn't even peaked yet. Most Tove Lo's songs smash after 2 months lmao. Talking Bodies was flopping horribly in the beginning and it ended up smashing

I think it's kinda a boring song :/ I'm a big tove lo fan, and I just find it boring. I think it's just different than her previously released stuff. It doesn't really have a catchy chorus to me. Still way excited for the whole album!

I found this song on spotify when I was looking for new music and I was surprised I hadn't heard/seen it before. It's actually really good. Deserves recognition tbh

Tove Lo never really has successful singles, she's shaping out to be an album artist. QOTC went platinum in the US despite little success on its singles

I remember making posts back in June of last year in regards to Talking Body. I was talking with someone about why her TV performances weren't having an impact on her single and I said back then that she was having issues and that if those issues weren't addressed by her and her team that she would continue to struggle. I can't find the posts or the thread in the chart section so that entire thread must have gotten deleted, but I did find a post from May talking about what I was seeing even back then.

All those issues I was talking about over a year ago still haven't been addressed and I truly believe she's declining and has been since 2015. Everything on the surface looks good but when you look closer it's not good. And I knew this was going to happen.

The point is that Tove is an excellent example of "you get out what you put in" and she hasn't put in the necessary work and it's showing and I think it's only going to get worse. Hopefully I'm wrong but I don't think I am. Don't get me wrong tho because I think she can still get some kind of hit but not on her own.

I guess I'm just truly baffled by her.

It went platinum almost solely off Habits and Talking Body tho. They had longevity. The pure sales for it weren't great.

She's amazing but all her hits are sleepers like Gaga's Just Dance. It will either smash a lot later like Lush Life and Cheap Thrills or won't smash at all. The song is a bit underwhelming though, even if I'm a fan of hers.

People always say that but she's only had 2 solo hits and while Talking Body was released in Jan she didn't start to promote it until April due to her vocal surgery. Her 1st TV performance in the US wasn't until May. And didn't it spend a decent amount of time discounted just to keep it afloat while she was out of commission and even after? Context is important.
