Oh my LORD, YES. So so so excited for this, glad he's going dance-pop again. This'll utterly slay my life, I just know it <3

Posted by: danG 24th June 2017, 11:49 AM

Digital Farm Animals doesn't exactly give me much hope for this to be that great, 'Digital Love' got boring fast and 'Millionaire' is one of my least favourite dance hits in recent times. Although I did like his Sigala collab and also 'Wanna Know', so he's a bit hit and miss.

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 24th June 2017, 12:35 PM

This has the potential to be amazing with these names

Posted by: lewistgreen 24th June 2017, 12:37 PM

But Millionaire is stunning

Really looking forward to this and so glad the dance vibe appears to be continuing!

Posted by: danG 24th June 2017, 12:38 PM

Thought I made it clear I wasn't a fan of 'Millionaire'!

Anyway, I never got into 'Just Hold On', found it a bit too generic, so I don't expect anything form this either.

Completed passed me by! Probably just being ignorant towards anyone's dislike of the song

Posted by: Rooney 24th June 2017, 05:02 PM

Dropping Friday? Or the week after?

Posted by: mqh 24th June 2017, 05:16 PM

Hope it's this Friday. Bridge Over Troubled Water should have faded away by then so he'd have the perfect opportunity to capitalise and go for a top 5 debut.

We sure he's not just covering Mollie King?

Posted by: lewistgreen 29th June 2017, 09:15 AM

Judging by Louis' Twitter this won't be out until the end of July

Posted by: Rooney 30th June 2017, 10:20 AM

21st July - ages away!

Posted by: JosephStyles🐶 30th June 2017, 11:49 AM

Wish this wasn't so far away!

Posted by: Jonjo 30th June 2017, 11:50 AM

I wish it was further away tbh.

Although I'm kinda intrigued for the collabs!

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 1st July 2017, 08:00 PM

Bebe Rexha will be at the live final of Pitch Battle on the 22nd so I wonder if she will perform this single live with Louis? Could get good and early promotion in well.

Posted by: JosephStyles 8th July 2017, 11:19 PM

Desperate to get another hit How random that they are doing a CD single for it!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 9th July 2017, 06:30 AM

Love it when a single randomly has a CD single format! *_* I wish more artists did this, it's nice to have physicals for the hardcore fans, even though it's rather niche these days.

Looking forward to hearing this!

Posted by: SeanGrey 9th July 2017, 02:15 PM

Do we think it's because they know the fans will want physical copies to go alongside digital to boost sales maybe?

Posted by: mdh 9th July 2017, 08:52 PM

I feel like this could give him a top 3 debut, which is nice. I'll be buying the CD single for the novelty - besides, if it's anywhere as near as good as Just Hold On then it'll be WORTH the 2.99.

Posted by: pippa 10th July 2017, 01:40 PM

CD single format is a wonderful idea and he would have the the correct type of fanbase who would purchase it. Take That for example secured a further 13,000 sales with the CD single release of their recent single Giants. I still believe their is a market for occasional CD singles as fans like to have this format for their collection.

I am looking forward to hearing this as i thought Just Hold On was great. Louis surprised me with that release as i did not expect to enjoy his solo work.

This sounds different from what I was expecting.

Posted by: JosephStyles 12th July 2017, 05:49 PM

Loving the sound of that

Posted by: mdh 12th July 2017, 05:55 PM

Sounds pop-rock Very excited for this now!

Posted by: Rooney 13th July 2017, 09:31 PM

From all the preview clips, this sounds really good.

Hope it does well for him.

Posted by: TMD_24Quavo 15th July 2017, 05:00 PM

Ok it sounds like it's going to be huge. Niall Horan has described as a belter and several people have been handed a leaked version.

It appears Bebe sings the first 45 seconds of the song and the song is more pop than people expected to be. One person who heard it said that in the song, he really tries to find a place and the song is about someone who is not good for him. The Lyrics have leaked as well, it sounds powerful.

Posted by: pippa 17th July 2017, 01:28 PM

Could Louis possibly get a number 1 with this, i think he has a strong chance.

Posted by: Juan Carlos 🌴 17th July 2017, 11:02 PM

A flyer from Epic (the label which will be in charge of the promotion in the US) mentions that this will be 'arriving everywhere 12am EST on Friday', which means that it's going to be out at 5am. GMT that day.

Posted by: Rooney 18th July 2017, 08:39 PM

The track sounds great, I think they have the promo on point so far for this.

Be interesting to hear the track in full. Sounds like it has potential to do well.

Heard the song online as its out in New Zealand and Australia. Not very good in my opinion, both their voices are irritating and the song doesn't really go anywhere. Its not bad but its just kind of boring. It doesn't scream hit to me but it could be one with the right promotion I guess.

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th July 2017, 11:05 PM

Just played it and wow, this is excellent!! Love on first listen!

Posted by: lewistgreen 20th July 2017, 11:17 PM

HOLY SHIT THIS IS A BOP

Posted by: awardinary 20th July 2017, 11:23 PM

Am I hearing the same as you are?

Sounds more like Bebe Rexha feat. Louis Tomlinson with no sign of Digital Farm Animals at all???

And did they really need to add all that profanity to the track? It doesn't add anything for me.

First listen and it's a thumbs down from me soz.

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th July 2017, 11:25 PM

Louis and Bebe sing pretty much equally! Feel like Bebe could've had a joint credit tbh. Digital Farm Animals has actually really excelled on the production, it's superb and I love the vibe it brings, even if initially I'd expected more of a "banger".

Can't take this off repeat

Posted by: Jonjo 21st July 2017, 06:53 AM

The production is lushhhh!! The song itself ain't bad either. Not sure if I'll go back to it much, but we shall see. Definitely better than I was thinking it would be when I had no expectations or even cared for a Louis solo song.

Posted by: Cameron 21st July 2017, 08:16 AM

This really isn't bad, actually quite liking it! Louis voice is just so incredibly weak

Posted by: Rooney 21st July 2017, 09:10 AM

His voice is much softer on this track than on One Direction. I really like it, it's very mid-tempo. Again, not sure how well it will do with the masses, but the promotion has been on point so far.

Posted by: pippa 21st July 2017, 01:03 PM

Its opening strongly on iTunes, this should do good for him and achieve a second top 5 hit for him.

Posted by: Jonjo 21st July 2017, 04:44 PM

He literally makes me want to punch my computer screen, and I really have no real reason as to why he makes me want to do that!

Fucking hate that I love this so much too! Although, his voice really doesn't stand out at all so I can see why he had to get Bebe on his second single (was the other one his or Steve Aoki's single?).

I feel like he feels he's much more important and bigger than he actually is. (If that makes sense haha)

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st July 2017, 04:52 PM

Nice video! Bebe looks stunning, she has so much star quality, I wish she was huge

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 21st July 2017, 07:37 PM

I am loling at the fact it's billed as Louis Feat. Bebe, but effectively it's actually like him being on her song.

It's alright.

Posted by: WallIsSoGood 22nd July 2017, 12:49 AM

Amazing.

Posted by: ElectroBoy 22nd July 2017, 09:46 AM

I actually like this; its odd that the better material seems to be coming from the two lesser 1D members

Although this is already falling quite hard looking at Kworb

Posted by: deepinside 23rd July 2017, 05:43 AM

This.

But then again I think Bebe Rexha was generally more successful when she was featured (Cash Cash Take Me Home and David Guetta Hey Mama) or collaborated (G-Eazy Me Myself and I and Martin Garrix In The Name Of Love) than her song as lead artist (No Broken Heart and I Got You for instance) so whatever.

Posted by: Cody Rance 23rd July 2017, 05:55 AM

The last 30 seconds... nice. Otherwise this is making me pull my hair out. IT'S SO UNDERWHELMING.

Posted by: Saenerys 24th July 2017, 09:39 AM

Pleasant on first listen. Prefer it to what Harry has put out but not as good as Niall for me!

Could totally imagine Louis ft Selena Gomez on this though!

Posted by: Jonjo 24th July 2017, 09:44 AM

Bebe really reminds me of Cher Lloyd. I feel like she's at the position Cher Lloyd should be It probably is part of the reason why I take to Bebe so much though.

Posted by: Hayzayy 24th July 2017, 11:23 AM

I actually love this!
There's something new and current about it, and the melody is quite basic but it's stuck in my head. Well done Louis!

Posted by: lewistgreen 4th August 2017, 02:18 PM

Digital Farm Animals & Louis Tomlinson have teamed up again to remix the track. It's quite the bop.

https://open.spotify.com/album/6QSnd8H2sYOC8DgKDp8Y0A

Posted by: JosephStyles 4th August 2017, 02:40 PM

Not bad! Was out already on the CD single, glad it's been released to iTunes and Spotify.

Posted by: White Mustang 8th August 2017, 09:30 AM

Really into this now. Could have done without Louis and his straining vocals though, he feels like an unnecessary feature on his own song. Bebe owns it.

Posted by: JosephStyles 14th August 2017, 05:44 PM

Up to #8 in the mids today, looking set for a new peak!

Posted by: Rooney 14th August 2017, 07:11 PM

Was concerned this might flop quite badly, but looks to be doing well now! Guess airplay etc. has finally kicked in

Posted by: Saenerys 14th August 2017, 07:37 PM

As was I as I feel hes the weakest vocally out of 1D. However it has surprised me both by me liking it and it being 8 in the mids!

Serious question - is Bebe pronounced "Bee-b" or "Bee-Bee"??

Posted by: JosephStyles 14th August 2017, 07:40 PM

Bee-Bee!

Posted by: Rooney 14th August 2017, 08:50 PM

He has the least star power out of all of them, but he does have a great fanbase. Thankfully the song looks to be taking off, guess they're both doing some promo and it's getting good Spotify listings now.

Posted by: JosephStyles 14th August 2017, 08:51 PM

Weak vocals can be easily ignored with good material - I don't think Selena Gomez for example has a strong voice at all but with the right songs, she's amazing, and Louis is similar right now. Back to You and Just Hold On are both amazing songs imo and they're made to suit his voice, so the weak vocals aren't an issue!

Posted by: Jay ☆ 14th August 2017, 09:45 PM

If he steers clear of acoustic ballads, all is well.

Posted by: pippa 15th August 2017, 03:35 PM

By the first 2 set of midweeks Louis is now on track to achieve his 2nd solo top 10 entry.
