Just why?

Even my straight friends said it's definetly one of the best song on Mayhem.

Is it? By what metric? :neyde: 

If so, it's probably because it's after the incredible run of Abracadabra, Garden of Eden, Perfect Celebrity and Vanish Into You ... Then you get to Killah and it's like ew *turns off* alas they didn't hear LoveDrug this day

Imagine hating Killah (read: one of the best songs on the album). Couldn’t be me.

I mean it only has 12M plays in YouTube Music, way lower than most of Mayhem songs (except Blade of Grass, The Beast, Don't call tonight)

I love it, but it’s not the most original/interesting sounding song, the lyrical concept has been done a million times (even though her writing really shines on that track) and the melody of the verses isn’t the best… :woot:also, it doesn’t have a bridge.

I don't hate Killah, I just severely dislike it :neyde:

It’s a very good song, but I think it’s slightly underbaked. It feels like it’s over just as it starts to get moving. Needs a bridge, guitar solo, or extended outro.

Mayhem is stacked with great songs. It’s just not one of the top tracks when there are many others that stand out.

I mean, LoveDrug is a synth driven pop/rock dance-y power ballad, so I don’t think a guitar solo would be out of place. I love the lead guitar riff on the song and I think if there was a section that either let it breathe more or expanded on it, that would def elevate the song for me.

It’s a great song but after the run from Disease to Zombieboy it obviously feels like a break from the adrenaline. It’s kind of mid tempo, chill about a theme that is very common in many songs. This follows with How Bad Do U Want Me and Don’t Call Tonight then picks up again with Shadow of a Man only to finish with the 3 ballads. It’s one of her best tracklists in my opinion. 

I’d say that LoveDrug is not underrated at all because a lot of fans love it and it’s part of Mayhem Ball setlist and it was also on some tv show.

I love the guitar riff too, it goes down like stairs, it’s one of the only times I think the guitar really adds something to a song
