Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I liked the song from the first listen and I like it even more now. I don't see it smashing though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decodekid 28,155 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 it sounds exactly like This is How We Do, is an ok song, but i think it's too weak for a lead, Roar was more powerful even tho i hate it. Long Live Gretchen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn it up, it's your favorite song Dance, dance, dance to the distortion Come on, turn it up, keep it on repeat Stumbling around like a wasted zombie Yeah, we think we're free Drink, this one is on me Katy can do better than that ^ Long Live Gretchen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

donutellha 13,819 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's a cute cake, but underbaked. Walk down the runway but don't puke, it's okay. You just had 10 donuts today. Without frosting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werk 13,166 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The song relies heavily on the pre-chorus and chorus. I was so underwhelmed by that verse that I didn't even pay attention until the chorus. You could literally do so much more with a chorus and instrumental like that. It's a bop but wears out fast due to the flat verse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFame Monster 8,924 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 she continues to follow trends and not grow as an artist's. watered down overused trendy beat, cliche lyrics, rent a rapper feature, overused songwriter. sellout who tries to justify her "artistry", when it should be able to speak for itself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A D A M 547 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The biggest turn off is chorus. It has awful lyrics, katy just whips us with her voice and it sounds like we heard it already in many of her older songs. I dig "Stumbling around like a wasted zombie", but I hate her repeating "Dance dance dance" or "Chained to the rhythm" sequence. It's gettin worse with rap part, I thougt we already past the trend of putting rappers into song just for sake of having one. I do enjoy verses though and pre-chorus, guitar in background is amazing. I must agree the song is catchy but overall it's very bland and lacks of passion. My first thought was, this is a radio product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StJames 376 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It's not bad by any means. But I wouldn't say it's inspiring either, just a regular, clean and easy track to listen to.
