Hopefully it's coming to the UK store!

Perfect choice for a first single from the album
Posted by: ...ready for it 19th April 2024, 04:04 AM
Their voices work together better than I thought they would!
Posted by: conorw 19th April 2024, 04:13 AM
i looooove this!! i was kinda worried cos that ai version sounded so good i was worriee it wouldnt live up but it does, its a brilliant track!

Haven't listened to any of the rest of the album yet but just given this a listen. Not instantly into this but think it's going to be a grower for me.
Posted by: Mack. 19th April 2024, 12:38 PM
It's absolutely fantastic this collaboration.
Posted by: conorw 20th April 2024, 12:01 AM
Video!!
Posted by: Dexton 20th April 2024, 12:33 AM
Really liking the song - I think it grows with each listen!
The video is interesting… I was not expecting Ethan Hawke even if it was only for about 3 seconds 
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 20th April 2024, 01:14 AM
The video is stunning. I am really loving the song too!

Realising now there was also Josh Charles there who was in Dead Poets Society with Ethan Hawke

First listen was thinking this is terrible what was she thinking realising this there's far better on the album
4th listen this is awesome perfect choice
That video too
Posted by: London 20th April 2024, 09:47 AM
Fabulous 
This song is getting better and better on every listen!

Debuts with 25.2M on spotify worldwide, biggest debut in history! and 1.675M in the UK

Great start for the song! I can see this being a massive multi-week #1, it just gets better and better with each listen
The youtube views for the video are doing great as well - 15.5 million views in 18 hours, likely going to do ~20 million in the first 24 hours.
I also hope this marks the start of a comeback for Post with his next album!
Posted by: Sean. 20th April 2024, 07:35 PM
This is the most addictive song ever! Perfection!
Posted by: ...ready for it 20th April 2024, 08:55 PM
The video is gorgeous, she looks so pretty.
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 20th April 2024, 10:55 PM
It’s a damn earworm. Not the most instant but it’s definitely one that sticks! I love it.
Posted by: London 20th April 2024, 11:48 PM
Just watched the video again. Her imagination is wild.
Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 21st April 2024, 01:57 AM
Day 1 Spotify total of 1,093,331 in Australia.
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 21st April 2024, 03:51 PM
The production on this is stunning and would suit being on a soundtrack in akin to ‘Drive’/‘’The Guest’ or something. Stunning.
Posted by: conorw 22nd April 2024, 08:09 AM
Looks like it’ll be her 4th uk #1! So happy to see that, it’s the first TS era where the the lead single has instantly also been my fave track!
Posted by: conorw 22nd April 2024, 08:11 AM
On a side note, I was so sceptical for this song considering that ai version because I loved that ai snippet so much and was worried the song wouldn’t live up and I’d be dissapointed! But im so happy it lived up!
Posted by: Jordanlee 22nd April 2024, 10:51 AM
I actually really like this it’s getting between on each listen and I think Post Malone really adds to the track too his involvement kind of grows on the repeated listens.
4th number one incoming here in UK. It’s funny to think pre Midnights release she had just the one number one single and now she’s racking them up in pretty quick succession 
likely to be her third year in a row with a UK number one single.

Posted by: London 29th April 2024, 07:11 PM
Was so excited by the £1.99 then spent £8000 on p&p lol
Posted by: JosephBoone 29th April 2024, 07:41 PM
The postage is extortionate
I've ordered x
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 29th April 2024, 07:46 PM
You're all a part of the problem!!!!
I would have ordered, but not with that postage </3
Posted by: London 29th April 2024, 08:29 PM
I just wish they'd have sold the cd single for £3.99 or something (like the good old days in Woolworths) and the postage was £2 cheaper - that would have made me feel better. But anyway I still bought it regardless.
Posted by: London 29th April 2024, 08:30 PM
I'm guessing this will secure her a second week at number 1?
Posted by: kimberley88 29th April 2024, 10:57 PM
I saw it but I have already bought 8 copies of the album plus digital version so I won't bother with the cd single especially with that postage.
Posted by: London 2nd May 2024, 05:17 PM
Can't wait to get my cd single - dispatched today ! Whoop
Posted by: conorw 2nd May 2024, 09:13 PM
Looks like the cds have been dispatched to contribute to this chart week… now just to see if they’ve sold enough to cover the streaming sales deficit and overtake Sabrina!
Posted by: London 3rd May 2024, 09:19 AM
Moment of truth today - has she sold enough to be #1 for a fortnight!!
Posted by: conorw 3rd May 2024, 10:09 PM
Nope 
it’s incredibly close, both songs sold 79k but Sabrina a few 100 ahead, even with 16k cds 😭😭😭
Posted by: London 3rd May 2024, 11:16 PM
it’s incredibly close, both songs sold 79k but Sabrina a few 100 ahead, even with 16k cds 😭😭😭Was so close in the end but wasn't to be. Great to see strong second week album sales though.

Posted by: Dexton 7th May 2024, 02:47 PM
Managed a fortnight at #1 in Australia at least! Unlikely to last another week though as I expect Espresso to takeover.
Posted by: London 7th May 2024, 09:47 PM
Brilliant. Shame it wasn't a fortnight in the UK but hey at least it made number 1.
Posted by: ...ready for it 22nd May 2024, 01:10 AM
New remix:
Posted by: conorw 22nd May 2024, 11:06 AM
And for once it’s a DJ remix that isn’t awful! I had low expectations after the terrible anti hero and lavender haze ones, and that awful cruel summer one ee got but it’s actually quite good!
Posted by: A Good Melody 24th May 2024, 02:37 AM
This song has been in my head. Getting very in my feels about this song.
Posted by: 777666jason 24th May 2024, 10:30 AM
OK I wanted to hate it I usually do when it comes to remixes but I actually like this one
Posted by: conorw 25th May 2024, 08:13 AM
Already out of the top 10
Posted by: Jessie Where 25th May 2024, 11:54 AM
This is better than that dodgy Madonna remix he did, and it also improves the original song so it's a win win!
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 25th May 2024, 02:20 PM
One of my songs of the year. I love it so much!
But, I am really happy it's steadily dropping the way it is as I really hate songs that outstay their welcome and become majorly long running hits. (I would support it - like I do with 'Cruel Summer' for example - just coz I am a fan of the artist (and CS the song deserved it also!!!!!), but really, I would rather they didn't hog it for months )
This is performing my favourite kind of chart run tbh
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 29th May 2024, 10:36 PM
Up to 12 in the mid weeks today.
I love this song so much. I find it very under appreciated.
Posted by: conorw 29th May 2024, 11:19 PM
i think people are forgetting that anti hero and cruel summer are outliers in her discography - the majority of her songs perform more like fortnight than those two, so its labelled a 'flop' but thats because its not being a giant hit like ah or cs! i perdonally think its done brilliantly, its not the best on the album but its a good one, good choice for lead and performing well!
Posted by: -Jay- 30th May 2024, 05:17 AM
This is one of my favourite songs of the year I’ve seen people say that it’s got no hooks whatsoever, and I’m like… ok but this entire song has been stuck in my head ever since it got released; the whole thing is hooks for me! Maybe it’s subtle at first listen but I find it so infectious. I totally understand it being the lead single. Its UK chart performance doesn’t bother me, it’s still achieving incredibly strong sales to be within the Top 15.
Also the remix is fab 
Posted by: 777666jason 1st June 2024, 06:55 PM
This is what I been saying for a few weeks , it's having a standard Taylor single run , which is isn't a bad thing because it's still doing well (single sales are a lit higher than last year too) I believe AH and CS being mega hits have skewed people's views , that or they just like the f word these days
It's still my top 3 of the album

So jealous of the crowd tonight, was watching on a livestream from work - she brought out Travis during I can do it with a broken heart, sang us with Gracie and then did a 1989 mashup on piano!
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 9th July 2024, 11:19 AM
This is gorgeous. The subtle strings throughout are stunning. I love her lower register so much
Posted by: kimberley88 9th July 2024, 06:12 PM
^ I just Brought it from Amazon it took ages to find the link to buy it.
