That Bad Eartha Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Okay the Purple Disco Machine remix is truly heavenly. Always enjoyed the song, but this made it click for me more, has some extra propulsion and oomph to it that really elevates the whole experience.
AllyBunny Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Love that this is taking off, it's a great song. I need to listen to the Purple Disco Machine remix.
Nefertiti0 Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 she performed “About Damn Time,” “Truth Hurts” and “Good as Hell" yesterday at YouTube Brandcast.

Thats how the industry works in case you didnt know. That was LABELS literally formed to do, pay for their artists to be on radio / playlisting / tv shows / etc. The industry is payola

Flare Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) This song is not payola because you can’t force people to like a song especially a pop one. We’ve seen labels blatantly pay a lot and get nothing from it. Lizzo’s people didn’t pay for the first week then, the 2nd week they pay and it instantly smashed. That would make no sense and just sounds odd. I think there was obviously some paid promotion, but it’s not payola. You can’t fake all the soccer moms, families, and grandmas blasting this song. It just feels like a good intro song to summer. Edited May 18, 2022 by Flare

Material Girl Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) really love this hope it gets #1 for her just to prove her doubters wrong Edited May 18, 2022 by Material Girl
Youknowit Posted May 19, 2022 Posted May 19, 2022 Glad this is doing so well and already top 10 in the US. Plus it’s becoming her first “global” hit with great peaks. Good as Hell and Truth Hurts had some peaks in some countries (while not even charting in some major ones). Also - it’s totally normal for labels to have some paid promotion behind their artists, but this is definitely not a “payola” case.
