Friday

I'm not sure if the credits are right (it could be viceversa or Justin's lead single, although I assume it's the former), but looks like Julia Michaels co-wrote the track because she retweeted both tweets.

Oh I was hoping for the Ellie Goulding one. Looks like that won't be released then!

Julia Michaels posted https://www.instagram.com/p/BXwIdMNFckc/ on Instagram and she tagged Justin Tranter, Bloodpop and Justin Bieber on it. She didn't tag Martin Garrix (unless she forgot?), so I guess that he isn't involved in the song as I was thinking. That said, if this is true, looks like this will be Justin's lead single instead of another collaboration. ohmy.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 13th August 2017, 11:45 PM

Going by Twitter it does look more like Justin's lead single ohmy.gif although I've seen that it either features or is produced by Martin Garrix, as opposed to it being his own single?

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 14th August 2017, 12:04 AM

If I remember correctly, Justin was the first person to announce "2U" instead of David Guetta on Twitter, so this seemed to follow the same pattern, but Martin hasn't posted anything yet. Also, the inclusion of Bloodpop seems that he was the one who produced the track.

Posted by: AllWeKnowOfSpadz 14th August 2017, 12:45 AM

Bieber AGAIN? unsure.gif ok so 2U, Despacito and most of his other songs in the past couple of years have been great but it's getting boring seeing him appear in every song and constantly Number One on the chart sleep.gif

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 14th August 2017, 01:08 AM

only appears on BOPS tho

Here for Garrix.

I dunno... this almost sounds like a Break Free situation, where Zedd worked with another producer to create the beats.

You're right, I'd much rather see artists like Dua and Taylor claim their first #1 considering Justin already has 6 but I couldn't help laugh at you seething laugh.gif

Moved for you!

Must admit, when he cancelled his tour I was expecting him to maybe come back with new music April/May time. Guess this means hopefully another album in Q4?

Hoping for another 'Sorry'.

A shame that he could release literally ANYTHING and it'd go #01 though, I hate it when artists get to that level.

Posted by: Dircadirca 14th August 2017, 12:16 PM

I find that release date peculiar because it could mean Justin stops himself from matching the One Sweet Day record on the Hot 100.

Posted by: Tombo 14th August 2017, 12:23 PM

Yaaaay, this is exciting! Bring it on! He brings hit after hit!

Posted by: 360Jupiter 14th August 2017, 12:37 PM

The record label could be releasing it without him and seeing how it does without promo, if he's taking some time off.

This is going to be killer going on Bloodpop's inclusion and what they've done in the past. Will be released just in time for my holiday abroad so I hope it's good enough to DEFINE that week for me <3

Billboard actually only recently put out an article about all the Thursday releases. Long story short they said it was to help the songs stand out amongst the other releases. Frankly I can't see the point, particularly for artists like Justin. His new single is hardly going to get "lost in the crowd". I'll link the full article below for anyone interested in reading the full thing.

Thanks for posting that article, it's quite interesting actually and I understand in the case of some artists! With Despacito out on a Monday, it didn't matter so much as it climbed to its peak, and being released on a Friday wouldn't change anything. However, a new single with Justin as the lead is hardly gonna be overwhelmed on a Friday release, he'd be top of the pack with absolute ease!

Posted by: HausofSZA 15th August 2017, 08:32 PM

Yeah I do think the Thursday release sort of takes away from the hype of new music Friday and as you say, this release is going to be the massive new release whenever it premieres. The only plus point is we get to hear it a day early so can't really complain magic.gif

Posted by: Liаm 15th August 2017, 08:43 PM

Yeah I get releasing on a Thursday for maybe a lower level artist, but Pink and Justin have done it for the past 2 weeks and in both cases they're the biggest names of that week who really didn't have to do it laugh.gif

It's very, very lazy. Not quite Chainsmokers but still generic and boring af.

Posted by: Liаm 16th August 2017, 02:32 PM

Yeah it's not really Chainsmokers but it's no less generic laugh.gif It sounds quite good though, I'd say it sounds like a Poundland Sorry.

Posted by: JosephStyles 16th August 2017, 02:42 PM

I'm trying to avoid the snippets and keep anticipation high for tomorrow, but if it's even remotely like Sorry then I'll be more than satisfied.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 16th August 2017, 07:10 PM

Absolutely ADORE. Not too far a departure from past hits but still seems like a natural progression. MASSIVE SONG OF THE SUMMER.

wub.gif

Posted by: Ryan. 17th August 2017, 04:21 PM

I didn't want to like it (can't be here for another 10 week #1) but I do like it. I was expecting some tired Chainsmokers-esque song, but it reminds of Style/Your Type/Cheyenne which of course is a sound I love. I think I'd prefer someone else singing it, but it's another solid song from Justin.

Although... judging by the chart performances of those three I do think this won't be quite as successful as his three mega hits from last era. So a win win! Good song but not going to stop the likes of Taylor from getting to #1 in a couple of weeks.

Posted by: Liаm 17th August 2017, 04:37 PM

This is so much better than I expected, ofc it will be a multi week number 1 as it's him but as Ryan said this dark-pop for want of a better phrae sort of sound doesn't really catch on so I can't see it being another 10 weeker laugh.gif Dua and Taylor remain unbothered x

But I LOVE the sound and it's a banger, I'm so glad he did something a bit different rather than just Chainsmokers lite. The chorus is eh though, but solid 9/10 on first listen.

Posted by: White Mustang 17th August 2017, 04:39 PM

Really good; the drop is a bit generic, but his vocals and passion in the lyrics make up for it.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 17th August 2017, 04:39 PM

THIS IS AMAZING.

Posted by: Davidson 17th August 2017, 04:44 PM

Yeah, this is a tad generic and Bieber by numbers but I do have to say I am liking it a lot.

Much better than any of his recent collabs.

Posted by: Jade 17th August 2017, 04:44 PM

The drop is nothing to write home about but otherwise this is sounding great *.* 'Style' and 'Cheyenne' that Ryan mentions are good soundalikes and I love both of those.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 17th August 2017, 04:46 PM

It's so incredibly similar to sorry, the latter is still better though.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 17th August 2017, 04:49 PM

The Style/Your Type/Cheyenne comparison is really quite spot on! I was hoping we'd get more of those in 2015, so if this can be absolutely MASSIVE and spark that trend properly I'm all for it! It's not a million miles away from 'Been You' I'd say.

I'm so unbelievably glad it's not tropical or Chainsmokers-lite as I always feared his next lead single would be. Basically, he's done it again and this is FAB! All for this being a multi-week #1.

Posted by: BridgeCow 17th August 2017, 04:56 PM

This is decent, a bit generic but I'm into it

Posted by: danG 17th August 2017, 05:07 PM

not the best he's ever done but I'm glad he is moving on from tropical pop.

Posted by: Jack 17th August 2017, 05:21 PM

It's good, not as good as 'Sorry' or even 'What Do You Mean?' on first listen to me but still really good. So much better than any of Despacito / 2U / Cold Water ever were.

It's been uploaded to Bloodpop's youtube, so does that mean this is more of a Bloodpop single rather than a Justin one? Maybe similarly to Kygo & Selena 'It Ain't Me'?

Generic has never been a negative in my eyes and it's certainly the case here - on first listen, what a fantastic song. So instant, if I didn't listen for another 24 hours, I'd remember the hook and the drop.

LOVE the production, this is fantastic <3.

Posted by: Jonjo 17th August 2017, 05:56 PM

This actually sounds more like Marshmello - Ritual mixed with his stuff from Purpose more than anything! Something that I expected from the teaser bc I didn't hear Chainsmokers at all from the start.

Posted by: Rooney 17th August 2017, 08:01 PM

The production is the winner - it is fab. I must say I find the verses a bit weak, but I can relate to the song SO much.

Another great effort, I think the synths are on point.

I should really dislike this due to these 'drops' that seemingly infiltrate EVERY song these days, but I'm quite liking it on the first listen, and pretty good production for a song of it's type ;o

I don't think it sounds anything like the Chainsmokers, so I dunno where people are getting that from lol

It's not too bad but on first listen it's not really exciting me all that much like WDYM and Sorry.

Posted by: Atonement 18th August 2017, 07:15 AM

My favorite part of the song is when the second chorus ends and the third immediately starts.

lol it just so happens that yesterday (before the song came out) I asked the guy I was dating for months for clarity and now we're just friends ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (or that's the plan)

Odd because I normally love Bloodpop productions but this one is so beige. Not getting the love for the production at all.

Posted by: Josh! 18th August 2017, 10:55 PM

A bit disappointed in this to be honest, I think it's decent but I've always found this sort of song style (similar to Perfect, Style, Cheyenne etc. as previously mentioned) are my least favourites by those artists. I am quite enjoying it but I prefer my choruses a bit more explosive whereas this feels a bit plodding to me, I really like the "Sorry"-esque drop though but even then it feels a bit been there, done that and done better on that track so not sure I'll be going back to this much in the future. I much prefer his recent features (even Despacito is still a bop if I look past how it became ridiculously overplayed! drama.gif)

It's alright but I do think it'll grow on me more. Obviously not a PATCH on 'Sorry'

I've just realised the drop sounds like Olivia Holt's History!

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st August 2017, 05:52 PM

#3 in the mids today! Not quite the easy #1 we thought but another top 5 hit will be fantastic biggrin.gif

Posted by: HausofSZA 21st August 2017, 07:10 PM

Hopefully it's a long running hit with streaming working in its favour! Looking for a strong debut though regardless.

I feel like I'm the only person here getting more Do What U Want/Love Me Harder (with a smidge of I Feel It Coming) comparisons than Style/Cheyenne

Posted by: John-James 24th August 2017, 04:08 PM

I wonder if this will get a video. Not like his videos are very good nowadays laugh.gif

Posted by: JosephStyles 24th August 2017, 04:25 PM

I really hope it does but I can see him not bothering tbh drama.gif laugh.gif

Posted by: John-James 25th August 2017, 04:28 PM

#2 in the end! Not the #1 we predicted but still great! His 4th #2 peak.

Posted by: JosephStyles 25th August 2017, 05:14 PM

I'll take #2! Now all we need is some good staying power biggrin.gif

Posted by: HausofSZA 26th August 2017, 11:55 AM

#2 is a FANTASTIC debut wub.gif Thought it'd be closer to ~3/4 throughout the week. Now to stick around please x

Posted by: JosephStyles 29th August 2017, 11:40 PM

#5 in today's midweeks, should keep top 5 which is fab. It seems to be benefiting from performing consistently on both iTunes and Spotify, while the songs around it are doing better on either one or the other laugh.gif

Posted by: liamk97 31st August 2017, 02:18 AM

Don't believe I have commented on this yet. I really love the production; I'm always a sucker for those synthy/electro-poppy (idk) sounds of 'Cheyenne'/'Your Type'/'Style' and that's the main thing to draw me to the song. It makes typical features such as minimal, repeated lyrics and drops actually work. Quite looking forward to hearing this in the club although, as others have said, 'Sorry' will easily remain his best and is a guaranteed floorfiller.

Four weeks in the top 10 now, a chart run of 2-5-4-6 biggrin.gif hopefully a lengthy run is in store but I think it'll probably get to week 10 and be hit with ACR laugh.gif

Posted by: HausofSZA 22nd September 2017, 05:23 PM

It's done very decently! Underwhelming compared to the songs that came before it, but far from a flop.

Posted by: John-James 22nd September 2017, 05:28 PM

Yep, 5 weeks in the Top 10 is definitely nothing to turn your nose up at! I do hope he remains quiet for at least 6 month, I want it to feel like an event when he comes back.

Posted by: JosephGutierrez 24th September 2017, 05:58 PM

Yeah that was the big problem here - it wasn't as much of an event because we've had a Justin oversaturation already this year. Nevertheless, it's far from a flop, and hopefully in the long run it'll be a comfortable platinum seller!

Posted by: THEO. 12th October 2017, 02:08 PM

I still can't get over how bad this is and I actually did like "Sorry" at some point, I'm glad its not been as big as the singles from 'Purpose' because it really doesn't deserve to be.

Apparently there's a Julia Michaels remix coming out tomorrow?! Interested to hear it because I loved "Issues" but she hasn't done anything anywhere near as good as that since.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 12th October 2017, 02:55 PM

I really love this, it deserved better.

Posted by: White Mustang 12th October 2017, 03:13 PM

I still love this too. I listen to it all the time and it's one of my favourite ever Bieber tracks.

Posted by: Cremey 12th October 2017, 03:33 PM

This was such a non-event. My least favourite of his for a long time.

Posted by: Calcified Froot 12th October 2017, 05:03 PM

This is my favourite of his after Sorry! Really love it!

Posted by: White Mustang 14th October 2017, 11:42 AM

I can see why over-exposure may have hindered its debut, but I don’t think you can blame it on the overall performance (which wasn’t bad, just somewhat underwhelming for him). Little Mix released the same week as him and have suffered very similar chart-overexposure and their single has done a lot better overall. Either people weren’t into the song or they’re not as into Bieber as they were before.

Hmm, I don't know. The Little Mix song has received much better airplay and has a video so I think that explains more of the overall chart performance than anything else.

UK Airplay Charts

Reggaetón Lento (Remix): 40 - 8 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 6 - 5 - 4

Friends: 722 - 20 - 23 - 10 - 12 - 13 - 14 - 22 - 20

Posted by: JosephGutierrez 15th October 2017, 05:12 PM

Yeah I think over-exposure affected this song for the duration of its run, the public aren't gonna suddenly get over that in 1 week unfortunately. Airplay has been very low for a Justin single too. Hopefully he comes back in style after a break!

So this is released tomorrow!

It's..... unbelievably pointless :') not that I expected much more really.

Posted by: John-Maims 💀 19th October 2017, 08:29 PM

Almost as pointless as the Ariana WDYM feature

Posted by: THEO. 20th October 2017, 12:20 PM

Omg Julia sounds awful on this! :') As if she agreed to this being released as an official remix.

Posted by: Jo...shh! It's coming 20th October 2017, 06:09 PM

I really liked Julia Michaels from "Issues" but she does sound awful on this! Was "Issues" a fluke or is her voice really that painful?! laugh.gif

Posted by: THEO. 8th November 2017, 10:13 PM

This is out of the Billboard Hot 100 after only ten weeks on the chart. Such a poor performance but it is the laziest thing he's released since 2013, so~

Posted by: JosephStyles 8th November 2017, 10:21 PM

It's more for BloodPop's campaign I guess so it's no real reflection on Justin but I had hoped for a better performance. I definitely disagree with it being lazy anyway, it still sounds really fresh to me and it's one of his most honest songs of recent-ish times.

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 10th February 2018, 10:18 PM

CD single of this is out on the 16th! laugh.gif What random timing! The Julia Michaels remix is the b-side.
