Floppiny

Should have been a Levitating sized hit (they can swap success, i think Houdini is the much better song)

I adore this song.

She released it so early, her annoying Barbie song was still in power play, she should’ve released beginning of 2024.

That album rollout as a whole was very questionable

The singles were great. That’s all.

Loveee the song!

[Wet Fire 6,911]

One of her best songs!

A great example of how a song can be very known despite charting low, I would't call Houdini a flop ever. The rest of the album though I have different opinions

I think Houdini and Falling Forever are the only two songs on the album with replay value. I still listen to Houdini today and enjoy it.

After hearing houdini and training season I was so excited but the illusion and the rest was a big disappointment. And I loved FN 

[The Wolf 3,948]

Houdini is a really good track, I feel like the album would have made more of a splash if it went in the direction of the first single because it had a surprising amount of longevity. Radical Optimism was ruined by a terrible rollout but It's grown on me a lot actually
