robattack332 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 It's an incoming classic, I fear. Yes, it's kinda generic but the tune is really pretty and the lyrics really hit. They're simple but arranged really well. The change your mind line gets me every-time. Y'all will switch on this in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireMotif16 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) I have always like Halsey's music but it is still surprising how hard this is hitting me Like I think there is something generic about it to a degree but really catchy still. Kind of like Closer Literally spent 5 hours in the car on Friday and only listened to this song. Tried to put other stuff on, I listened to Demi's new song bc I like it too, but kept going back to this. Edit: Just wish it was longer/another verse Edited June 12, 2022 by FireMotif16 More words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverse Warholian Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Sorry I'm late. I was stuck in traffique 1. This is soooo beneath her and vanilla, but it's super cute I won't lie! As a singular isolated pop song, I suppose it's fine. It's so airy and light but also wistful and somber sounding all at once. Giving me early 2010s P!nk / Kelly soccer mom radio smasha teas which makes sense since Max produced for them. Sits middle-to-low in her discography though and doesn't hold a candle to IICHLIWP or even some of her previous pure pop single highlights. 2. Chorus and bridge are easily the best parts. The verses just feel like dead space to me - specifically the 2nd verse where I was hoping she'd jump an octave right before the double pre-chorus. I agree w/ the majority on the abrupt finish. It's missing a cathartic final chorus / outro moment with heavier instrumentation + background ad libs. You have all this momentum building and it just ENDS, lmfao. 3. The music video's simple and likely cost nothing to make but is such a treat especially if you follow her personal life in any way. My poor little stan heart was tearing up a bit The nods to her previous eras are also a nice touch. I feel like this single would work for a Halsey GH era if those were still a thing. So yeah, I feel pretty medium about this overall. I can see this becoming a moderate-sized success a la 'Graveyard', 'Be Kind', or 'You should be sad'. I wouldn't be surprised if this peaks in the #10-15 range on Pop like those did which I guess would be enough of a course correction following IICHLIWP to setup the next single and serve even harder with that. I think radio wants something safe ofc but with a LITTLE more edge like WM or BaL from her. The US Spotify #s are decent considering the tragic playlisting. I was really surprised to see it placed so low on TTH! Lowkey supports her IG protest against the label's reluctance to invest in the release, which is shocking since she's one of the anchor acts in their artist roster atm. Let's see if it sinks or swims. @TalkThatRihanna @The Witch @Ampersand13 @original_lifeline Edited June 12, 2022 by Reverse Warholian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverse Warholian Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) 11 hours ago, Saintlor said: I meant specifically her music videos aside from that film I wasn’t clear in my OP tho Yeah I kinda get your point. 'Colors', 'Now or Never', 'Nightmare', and 'You should be sad' remain her best non-IICHLIWP videos. The rest aren't necessarily bad but are kinda unremarkable and unstimulating. You can clearly tell she has a good eye for aesthetics but certain concepts never feel fully explored and usually don't come together in a visually compelling way. For ex. I can't help but think how much better 'Bad at Love' could've performed with a tighter mv despite its US smashery!

Same Ol' Mistakes Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 By far my fave song from their discography but I hope it'll become a cute hit for them but the real question is: is it for H5 or is it a standalone single? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
