Fun Tonight is the best song on Chromatica.

Fun Tonight is that night out with your new boyfriend and his friends, and the alcohol is hitting you so wrong that you just wanna ****ing leave but don't really know why, and you start coming up with destructive thoughts ("I can see it in your face / you don't think I pull my weight"), and can't really articulate to the group why you're not vibing ("I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling I'm feeling with you") and ultimately just resign the night with "I'm not having fun." It is every Cancer's bad night at the gay bar, and I relate so hard

I don’t think it’s hated, it’s just not a stand out. The lyrics are some of the greatest but there’s no chorus “I’m not having fun tonight *electronic breakdown*” and the breakdown is not anything special. 

It’s just not catchy at all to me

This is the chorus:

Spoiler

I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you
I stare at the girl in the mirror, she talks to me too

Yeah, I can see it in your face
You don't think I've pulled my weight
Maybe it's time for us to say goodbye 'cause
I'm feeling the way that I'm feeling, I'm feeling with you
I'm not having fun tonight

Just because it's during a buildup does not mean it's not the chorus :saladga: I see a lot of LMs saying similar things... I get that traditionally her chorus would be when the beat drops but this style of pop songs is very popular in recent years. It's so weird to me how people aren't getting it :air:

Do most people hate it? I thought most people like “Fun Tonight”? There will always be a few that don’t like certain songs, but from what I’ve heard, Fun Tonight gets a lot of positive feedback. 
 

My Opinion- it almost sounds like a Joanne Song. If you were to replace the electronic instruments with more accoustic and raw instruments from Joanne- the song has that Americana, country-esque tone to it. Her vocals are even kind of “Joanne” when it comes to pronunciation. I really feel she wrote this for or during the Joanne era. The song is one of my favorites on the album due to its clear and unique chorus. She rushes phrasing during the chorus, and jumbled words and gives it this unique sound.

That's a pretty interesting way to look at it. The song grew on me because of its lyrics and I'd love to hear a piano or demo version. I'm sure it was made in the early stages of Chromatica or even further back. Some parts make me think of Diamond Heart.

I just love this song so much and same as u I dont understand why people are not into it. It made me cry so much, she seems to suffer a lot. It’s a bop, it feels so sad but u just wanna dance like it’s ur only way out, i’m really emotional listening to it. Idk how to explain that, but it is such an amazing feeling and so well written and produced :pray: And i think if she does it with a piano, we gonna cry all our tears out.

The electronic breakdown is SO generic it hurts. It sounds like some Eurovision celebratory song in Eastern Europe.

And honestly that’s the biggest problem with Chromatica.

Free Woman first drop - Super basic and safe AF

Fun Tonight drop - Even more generic

Sine From Above drops - Dated back to 2012

1000 Doves drop - Another safe sounding rehash

Imagine what Chromatica would’ve been if she had taken a bit more special/experimental/darker approach like Magdalene, with less generic breaks, that sound unique, more chaotic and give a sense of atmosphere.

Also the fact that she is the queen of catchy hooks but two thirds of the album are dance breaks is beyond me.

I still love her and it’s a fun album to listen to, but the potential it had...

it's not as bad as everybody makes out. One of the best on the album? No, but I don't skip the track.

In my personal opinion fun tonight is one of the few well crafted songs on the album .. everything about it is great starting from the good verses that captive u from the first time u listen to the song to the emotional pre-chorus , the super catchy chorus and of course the nostalgic bridge with "oh oh oh oh" that personally reminded me of RedOne's touch and type of production (badromance_pokerface_judas etc) 

I still don't get the hate for this song .. some users here said it's super basic while at the same time they keep praising "SL" and "love me right" .. 

That's not fair . 

Fun tonight is an earworm and one of the few good songs on the album . PERIOD 

 

fun tonight def grew on me. at first I didn't like the fact that she said "i'm not having fun tonight" when the beat dropped cuz like i want to be having fun to the beat and when she said that it left me with blue balls. but i've slowly gotten passed that and when i did i could actually enjoy the masterpiece it is.

Ready to Stan LG7
