How can you say that there’s not enough Britney in the song? She sings the first and second chorus by herself plus the adlibs through the whole song and especially the outro. She sings much more than Elton

Watt and Cirkut gave us the fantastic "tears in the club," great deep cuts from Plastic Hearts and Charli, and then they produced this crap? 

 

Listen, I'm not a Britney Spears fan, but she's capable of making a hit. This song is just embarrassing. The autotune/vocoder and uninspired vocals suck. The beat is so dated. If you told me this was produced and recorded in 2022, I'd call you a liar.

I don't agree with the negative reception of this song. I absolutely loved it and I can't wait to see what Britney does next.

I don't get the complaints about the "lack" of Britney, she is present in the whole song and her voice is all my brain can focus on :deadbanana4:

Now that I think about it… they might have the Dolby atmos thing on? Cause mine is off and Britney is way louder and Elton sounds like he’s in the background.

I feel like this sounds underwhelming at first but will grow massively with the GP after a while. It's how I felt about Cold Heart and its longevity speaks volumes that it's indeed a great grower.

 

Cold Heart sounds catchier though.

Hmm… :/

 

I would prefer more of Britney’s voice, something along the lines of Cold Heart

Britney sings on the whole song except for like 2 lines. Dua only sings the chorus on CH :rip:

It's a cute song. I am just happy to have new Britney is 2022 tbh & I hope this does well and leads to her putting out her own stuff soon. The song isn't top tier for me but I will support her and stream it :heart2:

Omg finally being able to post! The collapse :jonny5::jonny5:

 

This has SLAYED me! People saying they can’t hear Britney when she’s literally doing the adlibs and iconic “baby”’s throughout and her ELEVATING this BOP by harmonizing Elton’s voice! 


 

It’s a 10/10 :falcon:

:clap3:
