Doing a big catch-up of Ariana news and saw this:

I remember reposting the artwork to my instagram at the time as I was so into it :lol: 8 years wow!

9 years since this was released! I remember the anticipation for its U.K. release a bit later on really well, with it building up a lot of iTunes pre-orders, back when that was a good indication of a successful release.

I still love this just as much, shame it seems to be quite maligned sometimes (although I get that it's a bit "of its time", especially with the featured artist)

Agreed it is quite ‘of it’s time’ but not in a bad way for me, it’s still a bop! It ranks somewhere in the middle of her singles discography for me but that’s testimony to how many great songs she has.

It's getting dangerously close to 10 years :o

 

This was her first release after I became a massive fan. I remember being so excited for it to finally be released in the UK after it had smashed America.

This song is a whole decade old now :o the production does sound pretty of its time but wow, that has flown by.

Reading this thread from the beginning was quite a wild ride. Who would have known she'd be going so strong 10 years later? Iggy Azalea being such a big draw at the time and then almost immediately later not being so. And... somebody bragging that they know Colleen Ballinger! :lol:

I know mate, another 10 years and I'll be 40, scary how it flies innit.

Other than casually liking My Way, the Yours Truly era pretty much passed me by at the time (my bad!) but Problem really made me sit up and pay attention! I've been a huge fan ever since. :wub: Crazy that it's been 10 years.

Happy 11 years of 'Problem'!

The first song to reach #1 in the U.K. based on both sales and streaming.
