the song is a bop so deserved

 

Kim's verse adds nothing to the song and I generally prefer female voices so that's saying something 

Yawn her verse is the song's peak. Queen Kim.

[wehavetostan]

a good update!

[Jude]

Amazing. It's smashing hard.

[Unknown User]

Wtf

[Yog]

[John Slayne]

We are ecstatic and we are streaming 

 

 

[BigBangStan]

Not a Sam Smith and Kim Petras collab going #1 so random 

[OBEY]

If released 2 weeks ago it would have been even bigger I think, people on TikTok were saying that its been dropped too late, etc. I'm glad it didn't seem to affect the song's success overall!

Of course. Anything for them. 

[CandleGuy]

This is the most random smash I can remember 

 

Like why is this doing so well

[Archetype]

I can't believe Kim is going to get a #1 

[Tropical]

The way I set my ATRL location to "#1 on the Hot 100" with a Kim Petras avatar a couple weeks ago COMPLETELY as a joke and yet...

 

Manifesting!!!

 

[BrokenMachine]

So it's stabilizing now it seems 

[Protocol]

I don’t understand the people who are confused as to why it’s a hit. It sounds massive, very very catchy, very distinctive, provocative but not too much, it’s a huge dirty bop

[Ratviolo]

It was about damn time Sam got another smash, very happy for them

[Delirious]

tihs is honestly shocking. im shocked. jaw dropped mouth open

[zzmyth]

amazing song.

 

I kind wish this went even harder with the 'chruch-like' sound and went to a kinda 'gospely' ending with claps marching the beat to an acapella chorus

 

but the music is amazing and the vibe totally on point

Honestly same. I can't believe the trans woman I stan, the "treat me like a slxt" and "throat goat" singer, has a legit monster hit on her hands.

 

It's what she deserves for her years of persevering and constantly reinventing herself, which she doesn't get any credit for but she has.

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Shocked at the numbers. Who would have thought ? The song is great though

Not to mention, it would have stopped As It Was at 13 weeks at #1, leaving it short of Uptown Funk.
