I hated this until the ANTI tour for some reason (I don't get why I hated it lmao, it's a pretty inoffensive song ) then it really clicked there for me and was one of my highlights of the night. It's easy to forget how much FFS (pretty sure that abbreviation summed up my feelings when that was her comeback :')) was a hit, I did think it wasn't something remembered well by the GP but it's still in her top 10 on Spotify so idk What are your opinions on 'FourFiveSeconds'? Is it underrated? Discuss <3

Although I think "Bitch Better Have My Money" deserves the success that this got I'm glad that this wasn't representative of the direction she was going in for ANTI though.

Surprised to see it on the million ‘sellers’ list Amazing. I still love it. I was bound to love it with my two absolute favourites collaborating but it’s not what I imagined at all and I love how unexpected this sound was for her big comeback. Still not over this and BBHMM not being on any album 😭😭😭

FourFiveSeconds doing so well shows there's definitely an audience for it, I guess you could say it was her comeback so it was always going to smash but if it wasn't a genuinely popular song it wouldn't have spent such a sustained run in the top 10 surely QUOTE(Tawdry Hepburn @ Sep 22 2017, 12:59 PM) No, there's absolutely nothing redeemable about it. It sounds like 3 immensely pissed people that went into the studio at 4am and just knocked up a random jam. That whole 'raw' vibe to the song is one of my favourite things about it tbh, it brought a whole new feeling to her music and a similar thing shines through for me in ANTI's 'Never Ending'
