Posted February 7, 20196 yr Surprised there isn’t a thread yet, but Ariana has confirmed that this is the next single and the music video drops tomorrow. I’ve just listened to it and it’s... hideous.
February 7, 20196 yr It's not as bad as you guys are making it out to be but I'm surprised they are going with this when Bloodlines is saying "sup b*tches"
February 7, 20196 yr Bloodline is gonna do a Breathin I think and end up being the next proper single despite this getting a video
February 7, 20196 yr Gahhhhh. I wanna listen but I don’t as I’m hearing it tomorrow anyways. My Twitter seems to think bloodline and NASA would’ve better choices for single 3 though.
February 7, 20196 yr i feel like it must be one of them situations where (as very well we all know with her and her writing team / friends / fam) that they’re all in such a close bubble that ari doesn’t really ask anyone outside of that bubble what they think about the songs that it ends up just being personal to them and the songwriting process or connection sometimes.. which doesn’t really relate to the general public when they just finally want a pop bob again especially when you’re pushing former said single as a now album track and 3rd single from said probably already bought album by then
February 8, 20196 yr As I said in the album thread I'd have Bloodline and Bad Idea before this for sure and then Needy/NASA too, but I do really like this - the production *.* I don't think she needs another trappy single after there was already 7 Rings, like Jake said though I think she just doesn't really care and is in that little bubble of what matters to her and fair enough tbh. She's in a position where she can kind of do that, but it is frustrating when she has songs like Bad Idea and Bloodline, I'll miffed if she does end up just sitting on them :drama: Tbf in this day and age, it's fairly easy if something takes off to just make it a single anyway, as with Breathin', so they can always see what happens with the songs on the album and this can easily get pushed back if it's not the best single choice.
February 8, 20196 yr break up with your girlfriend, i’m bored will be a worldwide smash but it will drop quickly. What Ariana is doing this era is everything Taylor tried to do with Reputation.
February 8, 20196 yr What Ariana is doing this era is everything Taylor tried to do with Reputation.I’d say it’s more like Bieber with Purpose rather than Taylor with Reputation Rihanna with the transition between the Loud/Talk That Talk eras is somewhat the same thing just spread across other formats.
February 8, 20196 yr This is starting to grow but it's still one of her weakest singles for me atm What Ariana is doing this era is everything Taylor tried to do with Reputation. Yeah ngl I don't really get this either, Reputation was an absolute mess of an era which basically turned into Taylor sacrificing the campaign etc in order to regain her reputation (which low-key kinda worked as she's def receiving a lot less hate now then she did a couple of years ago). I agree with Cody that everything Ari has done this era feels more similar to Purpose/Back-to-back RiRi releases
February 8, 20196 yr LH4Y1ZUUx2g My first listen of the song was watching the video and I'm immediately underwhelmed. It's by far the worst single/music video from this album so far, I'd even go as far as saying her worst single since Yours Truly. I hope it grows on me though, because the concept is fierce and I love the twist at the end of the video
February 8, 20196 yr It is the worst single of the era, but the video has helped it grow on me a little, as dull as it is. Bloodline and Bad Idea to rescue the era!
February 8, 20196 yr There are so many better choices for singles on the album Bad Idea is right there~
February 9, 20196 yr Another underwhelming single. This era totally doesnt deserve the success that she's having. I'm yet to be wowed. And this is coming from three great singles from Sweetener
