I don't think it sounds like a Lewis song at all really? Obviously I know he wrote it and I could actually imagine him singing it but it's not like anything on his own album.

Tbh it kinda remainds me on Summer Love

Great performance, she really nailed it vocally!

 

This is actually a reject from his album

I don’t think her new song is as good as her recent stuff and the swearing just spoils it and is unnecessary.

There's a clean version for you then

 

After letting it sink in, I'm not loving this. :(

 

I think it'd work fine as the final single from an album or something (it reminds me of one of those tracks where I'd cry out for something else to be a single, but I'd be on board with it once it got the single treatment - like How Ya Doin' or Hair by Little Mix for example), but I hate that it's the first single and opens the new era up. This just lacks the usual Rita charisma and personality for me and I think they're relying TOO much on the fact it's written by Capaldi.

 

I don't hate or dislike it, I just know she can do (and has done) much better, especially for a first single!

I don't mind this much but it's not lead single worthy, it's not even as good as most of Phoenix's album tracks

I’m liking this after repeated listens. It sounds more like a good album track than a lead single though. You can tell Lewis Capaldi was involved in the writing of this which for me isn’t a bad thing. I can see it being a medium sized hit.

 

Body On Me style chart run perhaps?

Hopefully it can go top 25 at some point.

this is flopping big time, right?

 

I've just listened to it once and I don't think I want to go back...at least for now.

 

it's just about hanging on to the midweek top 50 at the moment, and will continue to drop over the course of the week.

at this point they should let it be a buzz single and give us a better song next month.

I don't think we can write it off when it's not on R1's playlist yet (she usually gets instant support) or any notable Spotify playlists?

V underwhelming. Looks like her 2nd era will be a fluke from this.

I expect with a push it'll eventually reach the top 30 but I was expecting more from a Rita Ora comeback single.

The song's not really to my taste anyway so that's mostly why I hope they move on quickly.

Screeeeech
