Timber Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It was not meant to be. The intro is truly something else...I understand why people are skipping it. The rest is beautiful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The excuses... I expected more tbh. I mean the song is kinda made for this current state in the US. Its kinda underperforming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not cause of its message. Formation went top 10 in us if i remember. And there are other hit songs with similar messages, rnb or even more rap songs by black male artists.

frenchyisback Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 I could not finish the song and stopped after the 1st chorus. This track sounds like it might have been an EIL reject that she figured could be used to match this moment. Either way, if she wanted to honor Juneteenth, she should have out more effort and given us an actually good track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then in the post after mine you say this: 10 minutes ago, Dante said: The excuses... ------------ OT: The song needs to be dropped. It's not gonna do any better in the future unless an amazing video is released that gives life and illustration to the song.

I see you are spreading that same excuse in other threads as well. Anyways. Good luck to beyonce with her new lead single Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to beyonce with her new lead single Well, I would say mine is more accurate. If people listened past 40 seconds to judge the whole song it would have gotten more streams since streams start counting after the 1st 30 seconds. I guess that's not obvious to everyone.

Blade Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 Such a shame! It’s US debut is also extremely underwhelming. J Cole’s song made more noise. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Music OWNERSHIP for female artists is the wave now. Hop on or get left behind. What is a number 1 when half of the proceeds go to the label?

I think it might get NRO’d though given its performance and the lack of public interest I should give it another listen, another stream will do a lot for a song performing like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a lead single. In fact Beyoncé hasn't released a single before releasing her album since 2011. Try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Releasing a song performing like this when it’s aim is to produce revenue for Black owned businesses and it’s producing virtually no revenue. The self proclaimed billionaire should do more!

That doesn't even make sense. How did she "release a song performing like this"? What a dumb statement. Also, it's #1 on iTunes with a huge lead and top 5 on Amazon. The streams are weak, but claiming its producing 'virtually no revenue' is categorically false. She's never proclaimed herself to be a billionaire, she donates privately and has a directory of black owned businesses listed on her website for promotion. Stop pretending like you care whatsoever about her supporting black businesses, we all know you're only interested in trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
