The production is really nice but the lyrics............. they really cheapen the song for me. Like thick-thirty? Really? It's giving millennial-girlboss-Obama era sloganeering. I don't see it as something the GP wants in 2022.

This is Meghan all over again 

 

Meghan lasted longer than 2 hits & was much bigger in general. They don't really have anything in common aside from both being all about body-positivity  

 

OT: Yeah this sounds like some random fan-favorite album track, not a lead single for your upcoming album 

the cool mom pandering feel-good track with a gay-club ready bridge isnt doing anything SPECIAL (no pun intended) hope the album cuts are better   

It's extremely mediocre 

it's boring 

I like it, but the pieces of the album we heard in her show 'Watch out for big girls' is making me excited for the album!! sounds like its going to be a masterpiece and singles are just 'fun' and 'too radio friendly'.

EXCITED

omg no wonder i was shook

ATRL pretending this is a bad song when this fits in with Good As Hell and Truth Hurts. 

 

Y’all are never happy until something smashes then everyone loves it.

First off - the music is tight, but the lyrics are some of the most generic "going out on the town" bullshit I've ever heard in a big pop track. I get that this is supposed to be a post-COVID celebration of getting back out in the world, but that leads me into my next point...

 

WHY WASN'T THIS VIDEO A REFERENCE TO QUARANTINE?!

 

Picture it: Lizzo at home, cooped up, eating her vegan snacks and being bored out of her mind. Singing the song, leading up to a final build up of everyone in her neighbourhood (including Lizzo) reuniting on the street and having a massive party?

 

My god I have never seen a bigger instance of a missed opportunity  guess she's destined to fade after that first album after all. RIP.

Why is it necessary to reference a traumatic ass event?

!! Enough is enough, let us move on_dido.mp3

This is so boring.

I liked rumors but not I’m feeling this. Maybe it will grow on me 

Spotify

 

USA - #36

UK - N/A

Global - 142

Good LORD, that is a terrible underperformance.

This just doesn't slap, it's cute but she needed to PUNCH.

Just noticed this isn’t even on TTH. There is no playlisting for this whatsoever. Rumors debuted at #1 and the cover of like EVERY playlist on Spotify AND AM. They truly blew all the budget on Rumors.

Her team knows it isn’t worth investing in.  The music isn’t good enough to spend a lot on.

There is playlisting, it's on Pop n' Fresh, Get popped!, Party Hits, Pop Rising, she is on the cover on The Pop List, Just Good Music and New Music Friday in some countries.

But using actual numbers….. this has a 40M playlist reach. Which is ABYSMAL for a main pop girl. vs Rumors which had about 150M. 

SNL tonight

"Special" and "About Damn Time" being performed

 

 

#2 on iTunes

Where is it shown that there’s a bunch of Max songs on the album when the tracklist hasn’t even been revealed yet?
