The song just ain't it, melody is weird

The ending... y'all were not exaggerating lmfao. Hoping it's leading into the next track somehow but still amazing

Loving this! Very strong 

 

The only thing I hate about this (and the other two singles as well) is how short it is  These rock-influenced songs would lend itself SO well for long intros, explosive bridges and good outros. Plastic Hearts kinda has the same problem and it's just a waste of potential 

Thissss! I know my fellow Lovatics are sick of hearing me say "bRiDgE!!! " every other post but everything you said is spot on and Demi always has fantastic bridges with lots of build-up. 

 

Hoping some of the longer songs on the album deliver!

It’s the best of all 3 songs. 7 writers for this mess though. 

Not to detract anyone's work, but three of those writers are the producers so I guess they added more into the musical arrangements rather than the lyrics

Now imagine a music video with Lindsay Lohan and Mandy Moore. Wilmer, YOU IN DANGER  

I think Mandy has mentioned that she and Wilmer are still friends so I doubt she’d do it.

Verified annotations/lyrics by Demi are up on 29's Genius page

Which ones? Only 3 surpass the 3:30 mark and they're still under 4 minutes

It's the streaming era, commercial songs of 2 minutes long are the norm now sadly

Yes, Spotify could NEVER

I haven’t been following the lead up to this track but I’m confused. Can someone spill the tea? 
 

I just listened to it after getting a notification from apple music that a song from the album dropped. I haven’t really read through the thread but immediately it was very clear this was about Wilmer. I’m a bit taken aback though because I thought they had a good relationship and he continued to support Demi through their relapse after their breakup, didn’t he???

 

So is this song just about Demi growing and realizing it was an example of grooming and awful in hindsight? Or has Demi been vocal about it being an awful relationship for some time? I didn’t know there was any bad blood. 
 

Anyways, this song has a powerful message and I like it, except for the abrupt ending. 
 

Substance > 29 >>>> SOMT

29>SOMT>S

hope this does good

This is exactly what's happened. She's been talking about how she's realized how wrong it was to date such older men since last year.  

 

The abrupt ending serves the majority of BP's title tracks which force you to listen again and again cause you're ungratified, but then the song continues to grow like a snowball effect and it gets better the more you play it!!!! @Rob_Matteo @WeFoundWill

Oh I see. In that case I’m really proud of them for putting out this message. It’s very important young people hear from someone who has been through this experience - whether good or bad. Just because it doesn’t feel dangerous or scary to you doesn’t mean there’s nothing wrong with it
