But underwhelming for sure. That's what I thought when I first heard it. It will get #1 easily, but I doubt it will be as big as Shape of You, which I loved when I first heard it.

Mirrion Rizzons 11,040 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 the way you guys all hate him just because he's successful, he's harmless I don't enjoy the majority of his music but he isn't causing any drama, he isn't problematic and he's actually a great songwriter. I couldn't stand the divide era either just because he was so inescapable, but that was 4 years ago now. Also, surely if that's your reason for not liking him then you should realise that the divide era can be compared to Gaga's own born this way era - inescapable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonSwiftAnton 3,747 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 It's a great song. I love it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicHot 6,444 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Probably. In regards to the song, I really don’t care. I only heard a preview and it sounds basic but still radio-friendly. So.....okay. What matters is that I’m sure people (and, the radio DJs/payola) will support it. HOWEVER - it’s probably an ever better decision he switched up his image a bit because this will sort of “shake up” his public perception and probably draw in more people/fans that don’t really know about him. Which..... I suppose is a good thing for him. Regarding the actual look, I think it’s kinda try-hard/pandering with the femininity, but it doesn’t matter what I think; it’s great for marketing. So, good for him! dOnT sAd ReAcT mE 2 bE sHaDy i WiLL RePoRt U!!1! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling 31,396 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Will it hit no 1? Yes, absolutely. Payola. Is it reductive and lacking in innovation/ originality? Yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevana229 1,877 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 wait im like actually shook at how good this is. I never really liked his basic, adult contemporary radio music but this REALLY slaps!!! its so dark and pop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatsss 400 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Y'all are doing too much with the hate tbh... had Gaga released this exact song I'm sure more than half of the ppl on here hating on it right now would be getting their lives and praising it to the heavens Truth be told, I think the people who call him mediocre and hate on him are just pressed at his enormous commercial succes... I'm not a huge fan of his catalogue either, but this song SLAPS and will be one of the biggest hits of the year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CautiousLurker 19,433 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Why were all the other vampires burning when sun came out, and had to flee, meanwhile Ed's just turned into a regular person - bad world building It's a joke!

Alfonso 1,549 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It's a good single, but I don't think it will be as big as Shape Of You.. however, you can clearly see it fits this whole tiktok era, so that will probably help it rise as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
