The video looks kinda' iconic. I'm perched. Hope it contains choreo like rumoured!

 

I knew this single would be polarising from the snippets, but I thought it'd be a bit better received after hearing the whole song. It reminds me of the initial reaction to 'Strip' on here, so hopefully it'll at least grow a little. I imagine the video will help.

This is the thing. The public lap this sort of stuff up. Unfortunately LM5 just wasn't connecting with them as much as it was the fans and that was the issue (especially with all the label shit that was going off).

 

This will hopefully connect with the public a lot more and it seems to be doing fine in that sense! So we'll see from here I guess :lol:

 

omg take your stan glasses off

 

'Women Like Me' connected with the public very well and it's one of their most successful singles, the marketing and arguably album cover probably let them down, this will perform okay imo but it's nothing that will make people want to buy the album.

The cover? Lol.

The cover? Lol.

 

legit sounds stupid but all their previous covers were incredibly noticeable, colourful and in your face.

WLM was fine. The rest of the album was a problem.

I've hated both Wings and How Ya Doin'. I don't see it happening sis 😌

It’s barely been 12 hours ;)

'Forget You Not' >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

LM5 was the problem. Not WLM... my bad for wording it poorly. But I 100% meant the album/era overall. I'm one of the few that stands by WLM success whilst most others suggest it's "under performed"! :lol: But then again WLM wasn't the typical "album seller"/was a slow burner for casual listeners etc.

 

In terms of fan service and growth they absolutely DELIVERED with LM5 (or at least imo), but connecting with the public with it was clearly an issue and although not a "flop", LM5 felt like a very fan fave sort of album.

 

But this is a lot easier for the public to process. They just want straight out, fun, brashy pop from LM. Is it their best single? Absolutely not (at least for me) but I completely get the approach they're going with this.

 

Like I said, I'm not sure if this is even for the next album or if it's just a stand alone single in a last ditch attempt to get the general public back on board.

12 more hours won't make a shit song (imo) a good song. What is not clicking lol

I’m not responding any more to your negative vibes :cheer: bye

 

I hope the MV is good :lol:

Isn’t the chorus that “back to life” song? Interesting use of the sample

Vertical video is near the top of hot hits uk

MV is up! And for me I definitely see it as a video you would want to watch again. Loved it!

That video is the one!

 

Amazing!

Awesome

Amazing!

Definitely among their best -- if not the best. The set-up with the chess pieces and the outdoor scene with the blue backdrop are amazing.

The video is incredible. I wish it was for a better song.

 

This single is going to be massive isn't it?

The video is a slay. Improved the song impression. Now it's a solid 5/10.

The official video I LOVE.

 

Their best music video since Black Magic for me

 

Is there a way I can watch the vertical one without having Spotify? I use Apple Music.

The video is incredible. I wish it was for a better song.

With any hope. Regardless of everyone's feelings (/disdain) regarding the song, I think we can agree that this single is absolutely pivotal at this point in their career. They need this to be a hit after LM5's performance.

 

Fantastic news re the video being added to Hot Hits. I'm incredibly impressed with how RCA have handled this release.
