I get the Starboy/Pray for Me vibe from this song.

This has definitely got that soundtrack feel, I feel like it might need more listens but I agree the chorus really lets it down sad.gif It feels like it's buildings and the chorus is just there.

Not a huge fan of this initially. She's capable of much better.

Really like this. I didn't like New Rules at all, but everything she's released since have been really solid

This is such a good song, it deserves to be a hit for her! I hope it is as often soundtrack songs don't do that well (there are exceptions to this though)

This is pretty solid for a soundtrack single! It does have that sound to it rather than a new Dua song but I think it works well. If it gets radio backing it probably would be another top 20 hit?

How do we think this'll do? It seems to be getting a huge push but not taking off quite as much as I expected.

One Kiss and Electricity had something effortless and cool about them - this does not.

The 'swan song' section of the chorus is pretty terrible. It's a serviceable soundtrack single but feels like a misfire.

This sounded like it had the potential to be really good but the chorus kind of kills the momentum. It just sounds a bit clunky, the words 'swan song' just don't sound very good in a pop song. May well turn out to be a grower though, I do really like the production (I was thinking it reminded me of 'Pray For Me' as well).

It ‘ll be interesting to see how Ms. Dua does in her 2nd album campaign. So far it looks like hyped success as shes only had 2 hits & 2 big features.

To be fair to her, she's had a platinum selling album for her debut, on top of those she's had No Lie and Scared To Be Lonely which are significant features and Hotter Than Hell and Be The One were definitely enduring hits in their own right. I agree the hype has probably helped boost those sales and her reputation going into the 2nd album campaign but which major star has not had that along the way?
