yes, it's kinda like the opposite of a grower, the more I hear it, the less I like it, I tried again now And I ended up skipping the song halfway thru

I'm the complete opposite - I like it more and more every time I listen to it. I did also listen to Stitches after this once and to say his voice has improved in the last few years would be an understatement.

To me, Shawn's singles have been either very good or super boring and this is the latter at the moment.

This is really, really similar to 'There's Nothing Holding Me Back' (but a lesser version obvs).
It kind of sounds like he's saying a naughty word in the chorus.

So Shawn's said in an interview on SNL that when he was writing the song it was originally going to be sent to Dua Lipa, but in the end he decided to keep it. Interesting
 Wonder how different it would've been.

There's Nothing Holdin' Be Back Pt II this. Sounds he is saying when he saying the f-word when he sangs the chorus for some reason e.g 'Everything is nothing if I can't have you'.

Beating his previous best debut by 20 places! King!
This song is going to be huge isn't it? |

Apparently it was set for a #5 debut without the physicals, that still would have been impressive!

I'm probably in the very small minority who thought of the 'Million Dollar Bill' similarities.

The physicals (CDs/cassettes/vinyl) that his US store put up for pre-order in the first week of May (with a supposed 12 week wait until dispatch) still haven't dispatched yet, and it's been 17 weeks now.
 Fans have been asking what's going on for the past month or so, but the Universal page just sends similar generic responses to everyone. I received this a couple of days ago: QUOTE Hi Jay, There has, unfortunately, been a delay in the manufacturing of the "If I Can’t Have You” CDs and vinyl. We apologize for the inconvenience and will be updating all customers as soon as possible! Please keep an eye out for an email with more information on when to expect your order soon. In the meantime, feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns. Thank you for your patience and support, Support + uMusic Customer Care Fans are becoming impatient/angry and even wondering whether this is a scam. I doubt it's a scam considering it's Universal, but I certainly think this is incredibly poor form from his store (and honestly, from Shawn's management/label for not chasing this up). As of yet no one associated with these physicals has sent out a message to explain what's happening. If I didn't search on Twitter for what other fans are saying, and I hadn't emailed Universal myself, then I'd still be none the wiser. I don't really understand how these formats still haven't been manufactured 4 months after being put up for pre-order (and then of course there's an unknown period of time before that when his team would have decided to release physicals / design them etc). What could the hold up possibly be? I find it suspicious. An official store shouldn't be this sloppy.  They were certainly quick to take people's money (I ordered on 3rd May, the money left my account on 7th May). What is really annoying me (and other fans) is that his social media pages are promoting pre-orders of Senorita formats, while not acknowledging what's going on with If I Can't Have You. There's only 3 weeks to go until the CD/Vinyl formats of Senorita are supposed to be dispatched, but I won't hold my breath... All in all it's completely put me off ever ordering anything from Universal stores again. I'm surprised Universal would want this sort of reputation and seemingly be rather blase about it all. I feel like it's morally corrupt to take people's money for a product and then to still not have produced it a month after the originally promised dispatch date, and have no concrete information about why the delay has occurred or exactly when they'll be manufactured/dispatched. |
