AMRer 3,234 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 After all the FN realness this feels like a letdown... Didn't enjoy the video nor the song, so waiting for the second single Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doroteyo 404 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 wow the video is so not it, i'm sorry. She's trying to pull a hung up but... she knows she ain't Madonna, right? Some of these new artists think they can just wing it tctc. Girl if you know dance is not your sport, play it conceptual and just deliver anything but this video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrawberryBlond 14,203 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 It's ok but I was expecting something more bombastic for a lead single after this long. I wasn't expecting the lead to be risk but didn't expect it to sound this familiar. This sounds like yet another FN outtake, just like the re-issue tracks and the Barbie song. I don't why it's getting classified as psychadelic, this sounds like just another take on nu disco and just a modern pop sound. It's slickly produced and engineered to be a hit but it falls flat for me. Her dancing and presence has improved and she looks gorgeous but the music video was not it, a lead single should always have a killer video, ideally with a story, outfit changes and lots of memorable visuals. This is the kinda video you'd make for the very last single from a massive hit album, when you don't have to try anymore. But the budget should've been higher for the big lead from a post pandemic album. Well, the lead from FN wasn't for me but I liked Physical much better and the album as a whole was decent so I have higher hopes for the second single. But early signs suggest another re-tread. From what I've seen, the public really calls out female artists who put out a single that's too reminiscent of earlier hits, so we'll see where this goes after debut week.

She has not totally reinvented her sound with this track but there are some very prominent changes in production, it has a much darker Weeknd type vibe and she has confirmed the rest of the album is even more of a departure from her previous sound. As for the video, I have heard reports that she decided to switch up her choice of the lead single last minute and they had to come up with something quickly which would explain the simplicity of it. It seems like her instincts were totally correct because this track is already a commercial smash. I think that the second single is going to follow the pattern of the Future Nostalgia Era, bombastic with a big chorus and a much more detailed video.

steve.22 60 Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Nothing we haven’t heard before. Beat is heavily inspired by Dalida’s Monday, Tuesday…Laissez-moi dansez. Still in here 70s influence disco 🪩. lets see if GP will be interested in the continued path. Was hoping for something more different, but it’s of is she wants to keep the genre. Maybe she is more a Jessie Ware than a Britney/Madonna/huge popstar like everyone wants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highest of her career so far, the numbers have been massive and I think she will easily debut at the top of many worldwide charts including the UK, not so sure about billboard though, she has always been more of a slow burn in the states Hey, I'm king of the world, you ought to hear my song, you come on measure me, I'm twenty inches long Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, it’s not making much of an impact? It is challenging for the #1 spot on the uk charts and is currently the music video averaging the most new views on Youtube. I think it is making a significant impact, especially considering Dua has always been more of a slow rise on the charts than massive debut numbers. The strong start of this single proves her increased stardom since Future Nostalgia.

tyler k 4,914 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 this song is ridiculously catchy, I cannot stop playing it it's such an ear worm and the production is just fantastic. sure, it's Dua's 70s inspired sound we're used to but it's more psychedelic and hypnotic than anything on Future Nostalgia. This is a shoe-in for her first #1 on the Hot 100 imo. The video is great too. I saw it playing at every bar I went to over the weekend, all of my friends were talking about it.

crybrowz 3,174 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Best song of 2023 imo. And I'm not even a Dua stan. The hypnotic production that builds to a climax at the end. The c*nty lyrics. The simplistic yet classic video. It's the in highest tier of pop. My only complaint is I wish it was longer. Also I'm kinda surprised at how divisive it is on this site. I feel like this is the sort of song + video that this forum would eat up in a heartbeat. I also don't think sounds like a rehash of FN. Yes it's similar to the 70s/80s pop sound of FN, but this one has a more modern edge and an element of pop "psychedelia" (albeit using that term lightly) that was not present on her last album.

bpmMonkey 4,186 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 It’s so weird to me. The song is pretty catchy but then again so hard to listen to cause it’s so boring and the lyrics are just bad also the production is kinda flat, there isn’t much meat to it.. I listened back to back Allie X „black eye“ which is such a banger production wise, and has a clear point of view imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
