On my second proper listen of this the song itself sounded very good.

 

When I hear songs with the video when it’s like a simultaneous premiere sometimes I get too distracted on the visual itself and don’t pay the song itself attention. With this now I’ve heard it as a song on its own it’s good. It’s catchy, slick, she sounds great. This was definitely more instant for me than what thank u, next was on first day one.

This is a cute bop that continues to grow on each listen! I went in with low expectations for some reason so I'm glad she's beat them.

 

I do agree she will need to switch up the sound sooner rather than later though.

I'm gutted but I'm hardly replaying this...

 

I don't know if Little Mix are just stealing the limelight because it's such a punchy song but this seems so uninspiring.

 

It sounds like a 3rd/4th single from an album to me :(

I’m pretending Rain On Me is the lead

As much as I love this (and I do love it) I wish she'd release a pop single again or at least have poppier elements :(

It's what I feared we'd get tbh.

 

Catchy R&B, but not anything I'll remember or regularly come back to :(

#1 on U.K. iTunes! :cheer:

 

The video was on 8 million+ the last time I checked also

As for Spotify figures for tomorrow what are we thinking for the UK?

 

The #1 today did 415k. So this should beat that with ease I’d imagine but I don’t know by how much.

 

Ariana hasn’t really been away long enough to call it comeback but I’d still say this has been hyped and it’s all over socials and heavy promotion I’d imagine too on streams.

Already #11 on Apple Music too!

So obsessed with this song. Haven’t stopped playing it since release. Her second best lead single after the flawless No Tears.

Not keen on this at all. It’s following on from the r&b sounds from her last album. All faceless, tuneless songs. Bring back the pop Ariana.

She's on autopilot again :(

Uhhh had it on repeat all day (along with Sweet Melody), it's SO sexy, her voice is so addictive and I get the Craig David - 7 Days vibe, which is probably one of the reasons I'm so obsessed is because 7 Days is one of my favourite songs of all time, I was a massive fan of Craig David when I was a kid.

 

I'm going to go as far to say it's the most I've enjoyed a single from her since 'no tears', yes I even put it above GIAW and breathin.

Really love the video for this. My favourite of hers for quite a while actually. Shame it's too late for it to appear in the rate :lol:

Getting not much more from this than it being "nice" :(

 

Surprisingly hasn't killed my excitement for the album though, but like I said earlier, I think that's down to the tracks that got released from tu,n all ended up being mid-bottom of the album for me, so we shall see!

 

But yeah. Not hating or even disliking this, it's just not got my attention much at all.

This is one of her blandest for me. I would lump this with a ‘Boyfriend’ type release where you are just left thinking, has she run out of ideas? It unfortunately just sounds like everything we have already had from her, just slightly less interesting.

Sounds like a good song on first listen. I am sure the odds have shortened for Ms Grande actually running for president in future!

I can actually see this being a quite an underperformance I wouldn’t be surprised to see this miss the top 3! The only thing that will help her is ACR for other songs!

Really? :o The top of the chart looks so stale right now so I think she's picked a good week to sail to the top! I don't really know much about Apple Music tbh, is her performance on there good so far? Very intrigued for the Spotify numbers.

She could have a battle with Luke Combs in the USA, hes #1 on Apple Music US and iTunes
