BuzzJack Music Forum _ Taylor Swift _ Me! (feat. Brendon Urie) • 1st Single

Posted by: UltraReputation 24th February 2019, 10:19 PM

It's obvious this is coming in the next couple of months so I think it's time for a thread *.*

There's heavy rumours this is out in April and supposedly there's 60/61 stars on Taylor's latest insta post. 61 days time is Friday April 26th + that day is supposedly Arbor Day or something which has something to do with palm trees so I can see that being the release date for the lead single ahhh I'm so excited *.*

Posted by: Andrew. 25th February 2019, 12:02 AM

Prepared to go crazy again very soon x (omg the 1000 different false sites that appeared for LWYMMD 😂)

I'd love to see her blend the 'old Taylor' with the new pop one on this album, as good as reputation was I missed that breezy feel that was present even on 1989.

Posted by: UltraReputation 25th February 2019, 11:36 PM

She's full on teasing atm!!!!! Something is def coming very soon ��

Pic 1: 7 trees -> 4 on one side (country albums), 2 on another (pop albums) and one in the middle
Pic 2: hand on 6th step
Pic 3: links back to some scrabble pic ages ago when we started to think she was teasing for TS7 + 5 fences things

I'd love it if we get the lead Friday ahhhh

Posted by: UltraReputation 25th February 2019, 11:48 PM

This feels like a countdown, I'm honestly starting to expect the lead to drop Friday omfg

Posted by: Codester X 26th February 2019, 12:10 AM

What I’m getting at with these clues is that
• this definitely looks like a countdown
• this album is going to be similar to Red, the palm tree that appears as the center is larger, which implies that it’s the focal point, and with her co-writing songs for the genre, it’s probably given her means to help find the balance between what skyrocketed her into being a mid-2010’s radio darling and what made her famous in the first place.

Reputation is a catharsis, and this album picks up where it left off. It’s Taylor seeing the light after an endless pit of darkness.

Posted by: SweetButJonjo👻 26th February 2019, 12:20 AM

Excited for this! A lot more than I thought I would be.

Posted by: Liаm 26th February 2019, 12:37 AM

I'd love something in between Red and 1989, I think that's probably plausible. I did love Reputation ofc but I think it went a bit too far, 1989 had that feel-good breezy pop sensibility she's always had even if it abandoned country, and Red merged pop and country so well so there was something for everyone.

I genuinely have 0 idea what to expect which makes this very exciting if we do get a new single this week! With Reputation, it was obvious she was gonna go further into pop but this will probably be something more familiar but still a step forward and I can't wait to see where she goes with it.

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th February 2019, 12:39 AM

To add to the clues, the Meredith photo posted the day before palm trees has 8 letters in the caption so I'm even more convinced this is a countdown now ahhhh!

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th February 2019, 06:58 PM

Newest rumour going around is that this is produced by Ryan Tedder!

Okay some further research and Swifties are jumping to conclusions as always so Ryan is probs a false rumour ffs

Also I'm about 99.9999% Taylor/Katy is false haha

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th February 2019, 07:07 PM

I'm just perched for tonight's clue, I can't believe a new Taylor era is probs so close ahhh 😍

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th February 2019, 10:09 PM

The video on her website for her Netflix documentary has been replaced by a YouTube video that's not working and says unavailable atm!!!!! SHES COMING IM NOT READY.

Posted by: John-James 26th February 2019, 10:23 PM

I don't want to get excited incase its just lots of reaching but I can't help myself. COME THRU QUEEN OF POP

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th February 2019, 10:25 PM

I'm waiting for one more clue (hopefully in the next hour or two, the last one dropped around 11:15pm our time!) and then I'm fully believing this is acc happening haha 😂

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th February 2019, 11:20 PM

Can the next clue drop asap plz ugh, I wanna go to sleep and it's been +24 hours since the last post

Posted by: UltraReputation 27th February 2019, 01:30 PM

I feel like if it was tonight it would have leaked somewhere?

I hope so though, I can't wait to see what her style will be like this time. (End Game deserved more love tongue.gif )

I'm surprised the title or official confirmation hasn't leaked yet haha! I'm definitely not expecting the song to leak tho, despite the 700 false alarms LWYMMD actually never leaked until it was officially released 😮 (And thinking back now I think the title only was leaked/spreading a couple of hours before release!)

Posted by: UltraReputation 1st March 2019, 12:23 AM

If a song is coming tonight can we get an announcement asap please cos I'm not waiting past 2am with no announcement 😭

Posted by: Whoody4Paramore 1st March 2019, 12:35 AM

Get some rest Ultra, it will be a nice treat in the morning! (if it is released laugh.gif )

Posted by: UltraReputation 1st March 2019, 12:36 AM

I know I'll regret it if it drops and I miss it haha 😂 (And tbh I'm usually up til 1:30ish on Friday's anyways oops 🙊)

Posted by: Codester X 1st March 2019, 12:39 AM

Taylor is really keeping things under wraps and trying to pull a fast one on us huh

we're onto you swift team

Posted by: Codester X 1st March 2019, 02:39 AM

I don’t know how I’m gonna survive if Taylor releases lmao

we already have new Selena and a Jonas Brothers reunion, Taylor have mercy on my inner 13-year-old plz

Posted by: UltraReputation 1st March 2019, 07:04 AM

Ugh. (At least I didn't stay up 😂😂)

Posted by: UltraReputation 1st March 2019, 07:07 AM

I'm expecting a live stream or something announcement today on insta with single release next Friday now hopefully

Posted by: John-James 1st March 2019, 07:38 AM

She has some nerve!! mad.gif

Posted by: UltraReputation 1st March 2019, 04:23 PM

The 2nd of March is marked on her calendar so Swifties are now expecting this to drop tomorrow! Personally I think it's coming on the 8th but I'm so ready

Her last Insta posts have been around 6ish UK time so hopefully we'll have an announcement soon <3

Posted by: John-James 1st March 2019, 05:00 PM

I doubt the single is coming is tomorrow, she wouldn't put a lead out on a Saturday. Hopefully its an announcement but I'm still doubtful anything will come tomorrow. March 8th seems the best bet

Posted by: UltraReputation 1st March 2019, 05:21 PM

I was going to say I'd 100% disagree with the Saturday rumours but the calendar + she's now on republic (thank u next came out on a Saturday iirc) gives me some hope haha 😂 And she's not completely adverse to not releasing on a Friday (poor ready for it being robbed of a #1 in america 😭)

Saying that I still think it'll just be an announcement though 😂

Posted by: UltraReputation 2nd March 2019, 10:37 PM

Ffs we've been waiting 2 days for something after complete silence and she breaks it with a pic of the Elle magazine I'm acc gonna smash something 😂😭 swifties are getting so pressed rn haha

I see any of the 3 happening:
Announcement on the 2nd (so 6 hours to go) + single on 8th
Announcement at Iheartradio awards + release on 15th
We're all delusional fools who've been trolled

Posted by: SweetButJonjo👻 3rd March 2019, 01:53 PM

I really don't know what to expect from this. I think/hope Liam is right in that it is a mix of Red/1989. That'd really work for her at this point.

Posted by: Liаm 3rd March 2019, 03:59 PM

I can't shake the feeling now we aren't getting anything lmao

Posted by: 365 3rd March 2019, 04:03 PM

I can’t believe nothing is coming after that cat photo and her acknowledging the rumours!

Posted by: UltraReputation 3rd March 2019, 04:17 PM

Swifties are convinced announcement tonight haha (but we've been convinced every day this week so idek anymore). I feel if we don't get anything by 1am our time tomorrow then I'm losing all hope getting anything any time soon 😂😭

Posted by: UltraReputation 3rd March 2019, 04:18 PM

At least we're not being trolled with countdown links for the single which ended up playing Never Gonna Give You Up like the LWYMMD release build up 😂

Posted by: John-James 4th March 2019, 08:54 AM

I had a dream last night that I checked iTunes and she had a banner on the main page revealing she’d surprise dropped her lead. To say I was gutted when I woke up would be an understatement cry.gif I can’t remember what the title was about I think the cover was purple

Posted by: UltraReputation 4th March 2019, 07:52 PM

another instagram post, still no confirmation. I'm done with her I acc can't ffs

Yep I'm starting to think it's gonna be April now despite the iheart appearance next week haha 😭 I just don't get what happened to the countdown tho haha, it was so obvious it was a countdown-like thing and it just stopped 😭

Posted by: John-James 6th March 2019, 07:05 PM

Someone on ATRL said its coming soon too who is supposedly provided correct info regarding IDWLF and the Rep era so I guess we'll see. At least its fairly certain we won't be waiting till August tongue.gif

Posted by: UltraReputation 10th March 2019, 12:17 AM

Hopefully haha! I think it's coming this Friday only because of the iheartawards stuff on Thursday, if not then I'm giving up all hope 😂😭

This Friday would be perfect as I can probs stay up for iheartawards + single release if it happens and I'm not busy this Friday unlike the past two that have just gone 😂

Posted by: UltraReputation 14th March 2019, 12:19 PM

She's teasing again, I hate her

Posted by: UltraReputation 14th March 2019, 10:16 PM

And she's posted again!!

I'm seeing theories she's performing with Kacey tonight, hopefully a new song if true

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 14th March 2019, 10:17 PM

Time for the weekly single rumors tongue.gif

I wish she'd just confirm a rough week at least laugh.gif

Posted by: UltraReputation 14th March 2019, 10:23 PM

The Kacey performance is looking really likely; of her last two posts one has a rainbow and the next is captioned with a butterfly emoji

Posted by: UltraReputation 14th March 2019, 11:04 PM

Latest updates:
- Kacey is supposedly performing with a guy
- Todrick is teasing on twitter

Guys and girls I think tonight might FINALLY be the night *.*

Nahhh I'm hyped for something, PLEASE come through Taylor, hopefully I wake up to the single ohmy.gif

also me:


Posted by: UltraReputation 18th March 2019, 07:35 PM

I'm honestly gutted she didn't release, the last couple of weeks would've been a perfect chance to get a #1 hit and the charts worldwide aren't too competitive at the top right now so she could've easily snatched the #1 pretty much everywhere 😭

I'm going back to my original prediction of 12th April now, though knowing Taylor it wouldn't shock me if we just go back to the generic August single/Q4 album release pattern 😭

Posted by: John-James 18th March 2019, 09:50 PM

I agree she should of released last week. Next couple of months are going to be very competitive with rumours of Gaga, Rihanna and no doubt the likes of Drake releasing new music

Posted by: Liаm 19th March 2019, 10:57 AM

Yeah it's definitely gonna be a while sad.gif

Posted by: UltraReputation 8th April 2019, 06:45 PM

Damn I was thinking April 12th for ages but it's gone far too quiet so I'm not thinking that's gonna happen anymore cry.gif

I think we'll get an announcement or teasing re-starting on April 13th (that's the date marked on her calendar) with the single on April 19th possibly? Hopefully it'll be soon

Posted by: Juan Carlos ⚡️ 13th April 2019, 04:30 AM

There's a countdown on her Instagram stories which ends on April 26.

omg the amount of hints missed are killing me:

- The countdown lesson learned being NUMBER 26
- Twenty Six = TS = Taylor Swift
- The 26th being the day skipped in the 'original' countdown
- The 61 stars in the first pic = Posted 61 days before 26th April
- Arbor Day (palm trees related) = 26th April
- 13th April = 13 days before the 26th April
- There was something in that scrabble pic that icr off the top of my head

and that's just a few I've seen. It's actually insane how planned out she always done everything, legend wub.gif

I feel Old Town Road will be quite frontloaded and I feel Taylor/her fanbase is still big enough to get the #1 debuts, esp in America. Though I would've been much more confident about the #1 if this was a month ago laugh.gif

Also I hope Taylor cuts OTR's run prematurely short after Lil Nas X shaded Taylor quite literally non-stop on that NasMaraj account laugh.gif

- 115 rainbows in Taylor nation's NYD tweet = 115 days after Jan 1st is April 26th
- At one of her award show speeches for her tour (either AMA or iHeart icr) Taylor said 'Next Chapter'. Next chapter is a lyric from the story of us which is.... 4 minutes and 26 seconds (4/26) and is track 7 (album 7)
- her spotify singles pic on April 13th is the same heart in her insta pic yesterday

She is honestly something ELSE I love her. Everything has been so thought out and planned 😂

Posted by: UltraReputation 16th April 2019, 09:57 PM

She's posting teaser pics on her insta the past few days.

Expect an announcement Friday. She kept mentioning 283 randomly last month, and she's two posts away from 283. She's posting once a day so the 283rd post = Friday

Ahhh I'm so excited

I'm honestly so hyped rn the early promo has been KILLER so far.

I'm seeing a theory that we'll get the single tomorrow and the album next Friday. I don't think we will but IMAGINE if we do omg

Posted by: John-James 18th April 2019, 12:29 PM

She randomly mentioned 283 in both her ELLE magazine interview last month and one of her instagram posts made a reference to 283. And we all know Taylor doesn't just put this stuff into her posts etc for no reason kink.gif

Posted by: Liаm 18th April 2019, 01:41 PM

There'll be 283 letters in one of the verses or sth just watch

Posted by: UltraReputation 19th April 2019, 02:01 PM

Same! I'm thinking it's gonna be Max Martin or Nathan Chapman. Maybe Ryan Tedder involved as well?

I also wouldn't be shocked if Taylor had a producer credit as well, idk why I just have a feeling she may be even more involved than usual

I'm seeing theories she's gonna have some female collabs on the album which I hope *.* (Blackpink, Adele, Selena & Ari are the names I'm seeing thrown around the most)

Posted by: UltraReputation 21st April 2019, 11:44 AM

Joseph Kahn is posting random set pics on social media the last few days so we probs aren't getting a new video director anytime soon. Very likely these pics are for the TS7 lead video (I think Taylor was spotted in one of them iirc)

If he serves another LWYMMD or Blank Space, I'm here for this *.*

Also I'm posting lots of Taylor related stuff on my Taylor instagram and twitter. Please rewteet and like my stuff + tag Taylor in the comments on my insta if you see them haha as I'm trying and hoping this is the era that Taylor will finally notice me at least and maybe also get invited to TS7 secret sessions 😂❤️

Idk if that post is single related actually haha! She's performing at the TIME 100 Gala tonight (hopefully we'll get some announcement or something there tonight haha, if not can she perform one of my faves plz haha)

Though time could be a hint for TS7 saying that. Remember when we were all convinced the TS6 lead was called Timeless at one point 😂

Posted by: Liаm 26th April 2019, 04:12 AM

Omggg this is SO good, it's kind of exactly what I expected and she needs but not in a tired predictable way. It's like Taylor sings a Panic! song with the drums but I can hear bits of Shake It Off, bits of that breezy 1989 vibe and it just feels fun and carefree and sweet like "old Taylor". The video is PERFECT too, stunning - thank god we're well rid of Joseph Khan's style over substance! I'm gonna need lots more watches as there's so many little things to it. Her and Brendon sound so perfect together too, it's just a great pop song without any of the victim narrative, jibes at god knows who etc., ngl with the snake at the start I was like wtf is she doing we don't need that until it turned into butterflies laugh.gif

Posted by: Liаm 26th April 2019, 04:29 AM

Posted by: Jonjo 26th April 2019, 05:11 AM

It's cute and much more like 1989 which is great. They sound really good together and like Liam, when the vid started with the snake, I rolled my eyes. Haha.

But yeah, cute and catchy and just a good pop song, with so much room to grow.

omg she's really pulling out all the stops with this era! so good!

kinda swallowing my pride as an ARMY bc she's gonna be sending bts back to flopdom with the record that she'll obviously get but whatever. this music video is a burst of light after Reputation served the darkness.

Posted by: Jade 26th April 2019, 06:33 AM

That video!!! It’s so extra but in a good way - a couple of the videos post-LWYMMD last era quickly became style over substance so the amount of effort here was appreciated. So camp, it was like watching a Glee performance or something in places (even down to Brendon having Blaine-esque hair!) - also... cats wub.gif as for the song, I’m not entirely sure about the lyrics in the middle 8 (like there’s me in awesome and spelling is fun... dammit Taylor stop denting some of your songs with cringe moments like these) but that’s not too much of an issue because you kind of get swept up in the general cheesy feel of the whole package anyway, a cute return from Taylor and it’s sure to be stuck in my head all day! I actually was a fan of the ‘reputation’ era but this felt refreshing all the same, definitely more of the ‘1989’ sound to be found here. Brendon was a perfect choice of feature also, he really helped sell it. Lastly, I have to fight the urge to burst into Foo Fighters - ‘The Pretender’ when the “one of these things is not like the other” lyric comes around kink.gif

Posted by: lewistgreen 26th April 2019, 06:37 AM

Heart also playing it after 8am today

Posted by: 365 26th April 2019, 06:50 AM

It was promising up until the chorus, which is very American radio juvenile. The Spelling is fun bit...really?

I never really like her leads though.

Posted by: blacksquare 26th April 2019, 06:52 AM

The entire package is a course correct after the reaction of the last album, which isn’t surprising. But it’s just so basic and juvenile. The production on the chorus is especially dated — she’s capable of so much more than this.

So, of course it will be massive.

Posted by: 365 26th April 2019, 06:57 AM

The payola is massive and will make sure it’s massive in the first week or two. Who knows after that.

It sounds like an attempt at Roar but comes off like Pink covering Next To Me. It REALLY sounds like Next to Me.

Nothing much to add to this really. I don’t hate it... but it’s just there, cute but wholly inessential. It’s a regression.

SPELLING IS FUN!

I'm very quickly getting addicted to this, it's exactly the sort of vibe she needed to bring with a new single. So much fun and effortlessly catchy wub.gif

Posted by: Jamie Barkley 26th April 2019, 08:19 AM

It's nice enough, I guess. But it doesn't feel like something that really grabs you.

Shake It Off & Look What You Made Me Do made the world sit-up and notice, for better or worse, but Me! is fading from my memory as soon as I'm doing listening to it. If it is an *event* it's an event because Taylor is the biggest pop star in the world, not because the song provokes any real discussion as was the case with her last few lead singles. I guess there's an argument somewhere that it shouldn't necessarily need too but I've become accustomed to that being the case whenever Taylor starts a new era.

She's become very good at setting a tone for her era's with the first single. Shake It Off introduced us to Pop!Taylor, who was evolving and evaluating her own image within the industry and started a somewhat meta approach to her own style which we saw analyzed and turned to 11 with Blank Space. Look What You Made Me Do cultivated an image of angry, revenge driven Taylor that offered further deconstruction of her good girl image throughout the Reputation era. I liked that the era ended on Delicate, which seemed to strike the balance between old and new Taylor.

The most I can say about this one is....it's nice, and I don't hate it. I might even grow to quite like it. But it feels very pedestrian. I could see Camila Cabello or Bebe Rexha producing this and it going utterly ignored because they're not big names. But if it's setting a precedent for this new era, then I guess we're going to be getting a lot of nice if uninspiring and slightly insipid pop music? Not the worst thing in the world, but it feels like a bit of a downgrade to me. I may also be one of like...4 people in the world who doesn't like Brandon Urie all that much which obviously isn't helping the case.

I do like the music video though, and I love the imagery of the snake at the beggining turning into a hoard of butterflies. Very clever.

I'm thinking it'll be an announcement she's performed at the billboard music awards with Brendon

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th April 2019, 09:46 AM

I feel this is gonna be one of those songs that gets a quite mixed reaction but SMASHES and is everywhere all year (a bit like can't stop the feeling, roar etc)

Posted by: Jordan Lee 26th April 2019, 10:05 AM

Idk. So Usually with Taylor her lead singles are usually my least favourites amongst their albums and I prefer single 2/3/4.

It sounds like nothing else in the charts at the moment though and the video is so different as well.

I hope it’s another UK #1 for her.

See, I don’t.. she’s ahead of him everywhere except Apple Music.. I think she’ll debut at #1 this week. she’ll only have the 1 week though.. and I’m sure Stormzy will outperform her in the long run (UK only).

Posted by: danG 26th April 2019, 10:52 AM

Stormzy will probably be more front loaded than this, I could see this being quite a big hit in the long term.

It's certainly a lot better than LWYMMD (and preferable to the rest of what I've heard of 'Reputation') anyway.

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th April 2019, 11:03 AM

I can see this having a similar chart run to Shake It Off tbh.

Yep Stormzy is getting further ahead on AM now tho ffs 😂 (13 to 19). Though I forgot video streams will count for the chart now, that'll help Taylor massively 💗 LWYMMD did insane on first week YouTube and ME! seems to be doing even bigger numbers there

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th April 2019, 11:06 AM

UK iTunes:
37% lead over that charity song
73% lead over Meduza
76% lead over Old Town Road
83% lead over Stormzy

I'm hoping US Kworb updates soon, I wanna see how big her lead is there 😂

Posted by: Liаm 26th April 2019, 12:27 PM

I think this'll potentially do very well BECAUSE it doesn't sound like a lot that's in the chart rn, a bit like say Sweet But Psycho when there's a lot of mumble rap shite and trappy pop, hopefully people are receptive to a pure pop song that's just fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Posted by: UltraReputation 26th April 2019, 12:33 PM

74% lead on US itunes over Lil Nas X and after that she has a 93% lead over 3rd place!!!!!!! Ahhh my fave <3

Also glad we're gonna have the first performance of this in a few days <3

Posted by: 365 26th April 2019, 01:03 PM

It sounds like so many things. Emeli Sande, the Panic hit, Jess Glynne, Pink and most of all The Greatest Showman.

She'll deff be #1 here even if Stomzy is higher on streaming. Her sales will be huge.

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th April 2019, 01:16 PM

I think she has absolutely nailed it with this! It's a strong, instant and fun pop song that doesn't take itself at all seriously. It is exactly what she needed at this very moment in her career. The video is wonderful, but she seems to be a master at those.

Let's hope they don't catastrophically bugger up the rest of the era this time.

I hate to be that person but it’s actually being slated outside of Buzzjack and the core fanbase.

Yeah the reactions out of here are... pretty bad sad.gif I get some of the criticisms (esp surrounding the bridge) but some are absolutely ridiculous (I'm seeing people & publications attacking it cos Taylor isn't talking about important topics in society and there's no references to politics and the state of the world which I'm just :/)

I still think this'll smash. The song I keep coming back to is Cant Stop The Feeling which was gigantic but slated online all the time.

Posted by: 365 26th April 2019, 03:38 PM

It will 100% smash. I get why she released this it’s very American AC radio hit, and she needed something that the radio would stick to. After the first week or so LWYMMD’s hype wore off and it was a lot less stable than her other leads, they needed a radio deal to get it a pop #1 over there. So it’s wise to go with something safe that will smash and have longevity even if it does end up being one of the least popular songs on the album.

Posted by: Cody... WOO! 26th April 2019, 03:41 PM

The politics thing is ridiculous, after she finally gave her political opinions (that NO ONE is entitled to yet people acted as if they were and basically bullied her into it) people are still pushing this? just enjoy the songggggggggg

Posted by: Chez Wombat 26th April 2019, 05:58 PM

I mean it started out well, shame the chorus was such a letdown, and then the spelling verse...yeah no. As a whole, it's quite charming I guess and I like that there's a focus away from her media disputes, but she's maybe turned the kitsch factor a bit too high here. I mean this is no different to something from a Disney Channel movie. She does best when she does accessible pop songs but with a bit of depth and storytelling to them, she's certainly better than this.

I hate to be that person but it’s actually being slated outside of Buzzjack and the core fanbase.

What I will say is that the video is a beauty. I’m so happy she’s working with someone new. I hope Khan is fuming!


Because it's tragic and embarrassing for someone of her calibre?

I’m really liking it though. And that video is just wow. With LMYMMD i loved the video but the song on its own never clicked. This is definitely on par with Shake It Off as being a strong lead.

Every time I watch i notice something new.

I kinda think she’s like sampling herself in this too. The video in parts remind me of other Taylor videos and the way she sings certain lines in the song remind me of other Taylor songs but in a more grown up this is me now kinda way.

Posted by: Saenerys 27th April 2019, 06:40 AM

Was surprised when I heard this playing on Heart last night!

Given it a full first listen and there is something so dislikable about her in the video and I can’t put my finger on it. That said I love how she’s shaken it up a bit by going with a feature for the lead and their vocals do compliment each other really nicely to make it much more instant than LWYMMD and I’m preferring how light hearted and colourful it is!

EDIT: infact does anyone get Sara Barielles vibes from this??

Posted by: Jonjo 27th April 2019, 06:49 AM

I've listened a few times now. It's not growing on me, but it's not exactly grating on me either. It's still just very cute and for the most part, that's ok. I can deal with that. I think the hook is pretty bland and quite lazy though.

But yeah, I'm enjoying it just not particularly loving it. But it's kinda what I wanted/expected from this. She usually kills it with the 2nd singles though so...

That’s the similarity, it’s not the whole song. Melodically it’s very similar & that’s the main hook of both songs.

I can't believe no one has mentioned the similarities to Sit Still, Look Pretty?! I heard it in the chorus the fit time I heard it

As for "Me!", terrible would be an understatement

Posted by: BiLLYx 27th April 2019, 10:57 AM

I don’t understand the hate for it - the verses kind of remind me of Blank Space a little,

The middle eight isn’t great, but I think it doesn’t help that the video was released at the same time as the song. I really like this though

Posted by: Liаm 27th April 2019, 11:30 AM

Quite the opposite, exactly.

It's not difficult to understand that some people might have expectations for a new Taylor Swift single or want her to continue growing as an artist. This is a blatant regression.

the problem is that most of the people hating on it dislike her/have criticized her constantly anyway though. It's just so obvious and tiresome.

Posted by: T Boy 27th April 2019, 08:18 PM

I’ve heard this a couple of times now and it’s really awful. Yet still probably better than 90% of the current top 40.

I feel it’s just a really bad/cringy song and if was any other female artist other than Taylor, it would be slated on here.

Posted by: Cqmerqn 27th April 2019, 09:30 PM

This just definitely does not deserve this amount of hate. It’s a fun, catchy song that doesn’t take itself to seriously. Sure, it’s made for American radio, but what isn’t these days? It is such an infectious song.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 27th April 2019, 10:26 PM

I've seen a lot of criticism coming from people who actually really respect Taylor as being one of this generation's greatest popstars / songwriters. That's certainly the case on Popjustice forum and with a few of us who have replied here (including me!), as well as in some critical reviews. Maybe it's a different story on social media, I don't know.

'Me!' just feels low effort to me, that's my main issue with the song. I don't think Taylor is usually a low effort sort of artist. When listening I just think that she's selling herself short. Certain elements of the song are very "Taylor does Kidz Bop", which isn't what I'm personally wanting from her. I can't help but feel like this is an inauthentic place for her to have reached artistically, 7 albums in and fast approaching the age of 30. Maybe her remit for this song was to appeal to the younger fans who were craving a light-hearted & silly song after reputation, and I suppose in that sense she's ticked the boxes. Maybe the purpose of this song is to serve as a "course correct" that easily slots into playlists & is an easy fit on radio.

I feel I should reiterate that I don't hate the song. Disappointed in it, yes. It's kind of mostly fine I guess. I can't deny that it's catchy, and I'll more than likely listen to it a fair few times. I just know she's capable of better and that's the niggling factor. By better I don't necessarily mean more serious a la Delicate. I'm here for fun pop, just pop that is of a higher standard than "spelling is fun!".

I really don't want to rain on anyone's parade, I also doubt anyone else here is setting out to do that. To the fans who genuinely enjoy 'Me!' and think it's another brilliant moment from Taylor (or even her best moment, gasp), that's great of course. I don't think any critical reactions should detract from that. I will say that I don't think those critical reactions should be dismissed as "they're just being haters, they're doing a bit too much" or whatever, that's kind of dismissive. Positive or negative, it's valid.

This is a great and really reasonable explanation, thank you. It mostly sums up exactly how I feel, and how I imagine a lot of casual and actual Taylor fans feel.

I didn't expect her to break Ari's record or anything but I thought it was going to be more than that and closer to Look's total, if not beating it, but I guess it's hard to tell these days in the Spotify eras and that's part of the excitement of waiting for it to update when there's been a big release!

It’s partly because she wasn’t on the top 50 playlist yesterday I think. If she was, I think she would have only fallen to like 3 or 4. Overall given the huge Spotify deals she’s got I am surprised she’s not doing bigger numbers but I’m sure it’ll rise again tomorrow now it’s in the top 50 playlist.

Posted by: andeeeeyhart 28th April 2019, 01:27 PM

I find Me so disappointing, which is sad as I had a lot of expectations. It's not quite deserving of the mauling it's getting elsewhere (have Popjustice ever hated something to this degree?) but it's just so...basic.

Fingers crossed the rest of the campaign is better.

Posted by: Rooney 28th April 2019, 05:43 PM

I don't mind it, it's quite bland and definitely generic but adding Brendon Urie on the track gives it another level with some extra interest. I personally think tbe backing of the track sounds a lot like Nine in the Afternoon in the verses. At least the general optimism in the song is the same.

What I do find funny is how Taylor Swift was so anti-Spotify in the past and now she's inking massive deals with them! If only she had done that for her last era..

Posted by: Liаm 28th April 2019, 08:38 PM

Exactly.

Spotify was not the issue with the last era.

Posted by: Bré 29th April 2019, 12:44 AM

I can see the comparison to 'Next To Me' but this mostly just kinda sounds like one of Panic!'s poppy songs to me, Brendon Urie has much more presence/influence on it than I expected.

It's a perfectly fine song, definitely getting a bit too much criticism (the spelling part is a little cringeworthy but she's had a similar cringe moment on all of her last 4 lead singles, it's like it's an intentional part of the Taylor formula, and this is the least annoying of the 4 laugh.gif) but I think it'll be a big enough hit for her anyway, can see it having more longevity than anything off her last album even if the debut isn't quite as strong as that of 'Look What You Made Me Do'. In the UK that is. Probably won't last as long as 'Delicate' did in the US.

I feel like it kind of was in the way that Spotify wouldn't re-add the post-album singles to playlists which was a big factor in the era floundering so much (probably because they stupidly released the planned follow-up singles as promo singles prior to the album).

I would blame Taylor and her team for the messy single releases, rather than Spotify. They made so many bizarre choices with the promo singles — her stuff was being playlisted, just at the wrong times and in competition with each other.

Yeah like they sent Gorgeous to radio in the UK only, while End Game (I think? Maybe it was Ready For It) was being pushed on Spotify worldwide. By the time we got to the next single it was off Spotify.

Heading for #3 in the UK it looks like. Joe pointed out to me earlier that this is reminding him of Woman Like Me which feels like the most on-point comparison yet (very mixed reaction verging on negative, expected to go #1 but still debuting top 5, similar platform starts)

That’s just from airplay alone, isn’t it? It was released after the cutoff date for sales/streams but radio goes until every Sunday. So technically it debuted on the power of 4000+ spins alone.

Posted by: Jack 30th April 2019, 04:05 PM

I must say I'm surprised this is getting a negative reception and lukewarm chart response, feels like a huge pop song?!

'Look What You Made Me Do' was much more self indulgent and a weaker lead single - that feels like it should have had the reception ME! is currently having.

I thought LWYMMD was a Thursday release?

Regardless, it’s not necessarily early airplay but rather billboard syncing their radio tracking periods with Mediabase, which hasn’t helped these types of releases at all since 2015 tongue.gif It’s just that Taylor is such a high profile artist that a huge radio deal that gets her 3000+ spins on the first weekend would have been enough to rock the charts alone.

She is at #2 in the predictions tho :/

Posted by: UltraME! 6th May 2019, 12:20 PM

She's made up ground a lot from the early predictions tho, hopefully the website physical sales come through 😂

Posted by: JosephAvery 6th May 2019, 05:22 PM

She's #2 sad.gif still amazing and broke the record for biggest climb, but shame she couldn't quite make that #1! sad.gif

Posted by: UltraME! 6th May 2019, 05:27 PM

😭😭😡😡 UGH.

At least it broke the biggest climb record. Still ugh sad.gif

Posted by: UltraME! 6th May 2019, 05:33 PM

And I was thinking that even if ME missed #1, I could at least be happy & celebrate Sweet But Psycho going top 10 finally but nope ofc that misses the top 10 again despite it being predicted 3 weeks in a row to make it 😡😭😂

The irony of Taylor Swift being blocked by a song that has started a new country craze

In every country where midweeks are published Me is falling more than just two or three places, I wonder why. Last week we could easily blame Lil Nas X for keeping Taylor from the top spot, but who's to blame now?

I enjoy Me, but I wish it would have been second or third single from the album. For her lead single Taylor should be on her own, I still don't know if Me is Taylor's current sound or just a Panic! At The Disco wannabe.

A week or so on, I am actually really enjoying this still and it's insanely catchy. I don't care what anyone says about that. tongue.gif

Posted by: UltraME! 13th May 2019, 05:19 PM

she stayed top 3 in America yassss heart.gif Glad about that as some predictions had her falling out of the top 5!

So apparently this has been pulled from US Radio.

It's also basically been removed from Spotify & Apple Music. Buzz single confirmed and the lead single will be here in a couple of weeks. Damn at the actual mess of this all.

I know it has some fans here but this made me laugh! Her Twitter stans are so crazy.

As if some people actually think this is the worst song she has ever done

If the description of "It's Nice To Have Friends" is true, then ME! won't even be the worst track on Lover

Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th August 2019, 10:31 PM

ME! Is definitely not the worst song she’s done in my opinion.

I actually prefer it to You Need To Calm Down tbh.

She’s definitely had worse but she’s also had stuff whats much much better.

Posted by: 365 17th August 2019, 10:35 PM

I don't think it's her worst song (This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things exists) but possibly her worst single.

The amount of taste in one post.

I enjoy this! Admittedly it's not something I really ever listen to out of choice, but I still do enjoy it whenever I hear it. It's almost like a slice of novelty fun.

Obviously the follow-up single was in a different league though, that's the one that will stick with me.

Still to this day, a pretty awful choice of lead single, especially on an album packed with so many gems.

This should have been the singles run:

"Cruel Summer"
"The Man"
"You Need To Calm Down"
"Lover"
"Cornelia Street"
"Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince"


This era would have been far more successful if it went like this.

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 10th July 2020, 11:07 PM

I still really like this tbh. It’s catchy as hell and I love the video too. I know it is quite childish and not amongst her very best but it is really feel good and it always makes me smile. I agree it probably wasn’t a strong lead single but it still was a hit for her.
