Juan Carlos
in Dua Lipa

I really enjoy this, why it has to struggle (it's not as good as her best singles obvs)

 

I don't think there's anything on the album that could do better without a remix at this point though.

I never posted my thoughts on this song but having given it a few chances to try and grow on me it's really only getting worse so I kind of feel the need to rant about it a bit.

 

There are so many things about this song that I find offputting - the shoehorned drug reference in the chorus (what does 'we're not meant to be like sleeping and cocaine' even mean??), the barely existent rhyme scheme, the fact that she crammed an entire boring run-on sentence in as the third line of the chorus completely throwing off any kind of rhythm (THIS is the 'finally a song with an actual chorus' Lomadz was referring to?), the way her voice yelps when she says the word 'and'. And that's just the chorus. The rest of the song is just comatose. It's not exactly quite one of the worst sounding songs of the year but I think it has to be the most disappointing especially after how much I loved the main album (even the songs from it that I didn't enjoy I could generally see the appeal (maybe aside from 'Good In Bed' x), I don't really get who this song is for, it just seems like such a regression). I'm glad this hasn't just waltzed to being a huge hit on name alone because she needs to be discouraged from making songs like this ever again please (not that I think she should just eternally keep doing 80s throwbacks / trying to continue the 'Future Nostalgia' sound but if she could innovate so effectively then she can do it again and find another appealing sound, please just anything more interesting than this). 2/10, never going to voluntarily listen to it again xx

 

On a brighter note, I did really like the music video at least. :teresa:

Thank you for your input x

agreed- what a misstep!!! I think even the timing for this release was off as Levitating is still riding high in America. If she’d have released the new songs nearer towards the Brits- performed DSN/Levitating/Physical (which ever one she performs) she could have mashed it with If It Ain’t Me with a guest and it could have a really big moment and breathed new life in the era- not that it was slowing any signs of slowing down!

Sleep and cocaine don't go together — you won't be sleeping after snorting some cocaine. It's a stupid lyric.

 

It seems this has grown on most people but it just gets worse for me as well. I was so impressed with how concise and cohesive the entire era was but this is just a clear regression that doesn't sonically make sense on the album. Hopefully they'll just move on now.

i fully agree w/this- i want her to be successful but i'd rather this song stalls and then falls so she can realise this sound/lyricism isn't why people like her music
