The soundtrack single for Top Gun: Maverick was released one year ago. What are your thoughts on the award winning single now?

Has it grown on you, lost its impact, proved to be repayable or forgettable? Discuss your thoughts on the song 1 year on cheer.gif

Wow time really flies! ohmy.gif

I really liked it then and like it now, especially after the Oscar performance.

I'm not sure how I think of it being The Chromatica Ball finale though? I would've preferred Million Reasons, but it was a new song so...

I loved it then and now I really like it. I don't listen to it much however (same could be said about all of her non-album singles because I'm more of an album listener) but whenever I do I fall for her sheer power and vocal might like it was the first time.

I like it, but she could have given herself more in the song. It has great daily streams though.

Crazy to think that she has got two decent sized hits in one year and still feels she has been a bit under the radar since TCB ended.

Yes Jade *.*

I feel like it may get forgotten as the years go on but it did its job nicely. The Oscars nom and performance were great to see too!

Nowhere near as good as it could've been, by far.

I feel like aside from it not being particularly a strong song, the fact she belts the big notes so early on makes it feel like all its tricks are revealed very early on and that a 3:45 song drags on for much longer.

Plus points though; it is a fantastic vocal from her and that part in the video where the plane flies over her on the piano is stunning.

I agree it's not among her most memorable songs, and I believe it was sort of "leftover" from Chromatica sessions that was used for the film.

This has done some decent numbers, 213 million streams on Spotify and the video has 176 million views on Youtube.

These are great numbers, especially on YouTube, given that only Latin and Asian artists still get a lot of views on this platform.
