I've seen "meandering" as a positive descriptor, but I find the intro and the verses to drag on a bit too long. I find his enunciation to be unclear in the verses - without lyrics in front of me, I didn't really get a sense of what he was singing. I do find the chorus to be the strongest portion of the song, but not to the extent that it's worth the payoff of the 2 minutes it takes to get there.As a whole, it's certainly a different/unexpected song from Harry. I understand people giving him kudos for that, because he could easily play it safer.I always feel a bit "🫨" when I don't fully get a song that's being heavily praised, particularly by an artist I really like, it makes me feel a bit on the outside. I'll certainly be giving it more plays and I'm hopeful that it'll click. I'm still excited for the album!This largely sums up a lot of my initial thoughts on the song. I think I can say I like it now (or perhaps, more accurately, accept it for what it is) but I think it could be so much better if the production lifted into something bigger or the vocals didn't sound like they were recorded in the toilet. The "we belong together hook" is catchy and there's elements of the production that I really like and am interested to see explored further on the album.
