My scores got lower in each poll gave the song a solid 7 as it’s definitely growing now. A bit too ‘thank u, next’ for my liking but I do like the 00s R&B vibes, the bridge a lot and think Social House fit in well. I then gave the music video a 6 because I like the plot but feel like the execution was a bit messy. I did like the bow and arrow scene though. Finally, I gave the artwork an average 5 as I like the colour palette and the fact they’re all in the photo, but the text placement is off-putting.

Who gave the song a 10? The artwork a 2? I’m intrigued!

7-7-8

I enjoy the song, but I struggle remembering it and how it goes.
The video is cute. I feel like it should & could be better than it actually is. Like Jade, the bow & arrow scene is the best bit and I also like the concept a lot.
I actually really like the cover. I like the placing of the text, oddly.

2/1/0 as I didn't see the artwork till I scrolled down oops, but it'd be a 6.

It's just really not for me. Boring song with a strange, lifeless video.

Love the song. The video is decent but not one of her best. Really like the cover artwork too

I went for 7, 5 and 4. The song is pretty good (although it does sound a bit like TUN as others have already mentioned), the video is alright but it's not one of her best at all, and the writing over the faces in the artwork looks a bit odd but not horrible.

Most popular answers so far:

Song - 7/10
Video - 8/10
Artwork - 7/10

Interesting, a smaller sample compared to the amount of replies in the general 'boyfriend' thread, but slightly more positive than I was expecting nevertheless.

I don't know, I like it a lot, don't LOOOVE it, the video is cool. But I will say, I wanted her to change up her sound a little more, really scared of her getting overexposed as others have mentioned. She needed to extend the 'thank u, next' era, get one or two more singles out of it, then give us new material in the new year.
