Brightest Blue just did an absolute number on her career I don’t think it was BB so much as the album gap between 2015 and 2020. You can’t take four years off in the modern industry or you’re going to be forgotten.

I mean the rollout for BB was just a nightmare with Close To Me coming out in late 2018 and the album not coming until summer 2020, the pandemic didn't help either of course

Very weird label shenanigans or maybe her anxiety was flaring up again? No clue but she really should have dropped the full album in 2018 or early 2019 when CTM was relevant-ish. Ugh that was such a frustrating time
mlaredoperez Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 The song is a bop and it's cute but the hook gets boring quickly and the chorus just doesn't have much to offer... I just don't know how they thought it was a good idea to use a years shelved song as a lead single
kyliefever2002 Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 solo version sent to radio is alreay being sent to radio it has a small new second verse and a pre-chorus repetition big sean really elevated the song, the feat version sounds so much better

ATRL Moderator kelly-clarkson Posted July 17, 2022 ATRL Moderator Posted July 17, 2022 This is definitely an improvement from the singles Ellie released in her last era It's catchy and cute I just wish the chorus had more variations. By the last one, the song feels a bit repetitive

You can’t take four years off in the modern industry or you’re going to be forgotten. It was a mixer of her jumping ship on Delirium era. She pretty much gave up after the first single then she took a massive break & came back with a chaotic rollout. On top of that the album brightest blue you either loved it or hated it. She really should have came back harder this era because this song isn’t good enough to win all the ppl she lost and she’s not doing anything with great artistry. She’s starting to look like a one trick pony unfortunately. Edited July 17, 2022 by Power love
Delirious Posted July 17, 2022 Author Posted July 17, 2022 Yea the 5 year break without a doubt tremendously affected her career. It happens for every artist e.g. Foxes She did drop droplets tho but the hype got completely diluted
RadioactiveLights Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 My hope is that this is a slow burner and becomes a hit in the long run
Neyde Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 excited to hear the solo version, big sean doesn't add anything to this song honestly

Yeah, I saw Ellie having more views than new Demi Lovato song but Demi had like over 80k likes while Ellie had 13k likes
Cqmerqn Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 The response to this is overwhelmingly positive, which makes the lack of playlisting even more frustrating!
Michael196 Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 the Brightest Blue slander on it's second birthday
Delirious Posted July 17, 2022 Author Posted July 17, 2022 This is honestly horrific. It's even worse since playlist reach literally doesnt mean **** if your song is placed as like #30 or some trash position lol

Cqmerqn Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 Ellie has revealed that the next single is a song from 2017.

Jared Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 This song is great, but the Big Sean verse is sooo unneeded. Please tell me there's a solo version on Spotify somewhere.
Scandalous Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) this is her weakest lead sure it’s catchy enough but it’s so bland and gets old quickly yall said this album would be Delirium 2.0 but if the rest is anything like this song it’s more like the Shein version of it Edited July 17, 2022 by Scandalous
