It’s literally the part in “halfway around the world” by a-teens that goes “I’m gonna hold you baby, cause I’m gonna miss you like crazy”

I am so underwhelmed. This new album sounds so basic and doesn’t excite me at all like her debut. 

This is a song I listen to once and say “oh it’s ok” and don’t listen to again. 

I was really looking forward to her new album so I hope the rest is actually something I like.

This is such a good song wtf :bradley:
When it starts out, it's like 'oh it's nice' and as it keeps going, it's like 'wait... omg' :wtfga:

Men are naturally more dominating, aggressive, and logical thinking because we have balls.

She is realeasing the "mainstream" songs first 

Because... Marketing

I'm hoping this one grows on me, but I'm really not feeling this production. I thought it was super cute and campy on This Hell, very Shania Twain crossover/y2k country pop, and it really fit the theme.

So many other artists have done this sound recently and better, so I'm not as keen on Hold the Girl. At least not on the first few listens.

I immediately thought of It's my life, maybe that's what you guys had in mind!

Same. I really loved how she mixed pop with rock and metal, and now everything I heard from this new album just sounds like other basic pop songs. There's no excuse of making it mainstream when STFU! was the lead single for Sawayama. If she's trying to get more listeners by doing this, it's sad because she's also going to lose people who liked what made her special in the first place.

It kinda sounds like Living on a prayer but I might be wrong. It does sound familiar!!

To me this is way better than the first single. 

I'm interested to hear the album.

And it does sound like the beginning of 'Like A Prayer' a bit. :teehee:

Maybe the singles will be more mainstream (but this song is FAR from being a mainstream /tiktok /pop radio song) and the rest of the album will have her distinctive sound. But I’m okay with her experimenting with a more “dance” sound for this record. Not a fan of this beat particularly it sounds disconnected from the rest of the song

I wish the whole song sounded like the preview clip. And I hate the post chorus. But those final choruses are gorgeous.
