Queen hopefully starting the year at #1 in the UK. 

Can’t wait to see what else 2023 brings for her 

[SweetTalker]

Smash of 2023 coming 

[Polgg48]

everything goes the right way, she pushes all buttons to promo the hell out with 5-6 official versions and send to us radio/playlist, something 'sweet melodies' never capitalized ever and wasting LM potential.

 

hopefully we will be around this time next year when bitter threads about her everywhere here and her song still in top 10 us pop/rhythmic radio with cute YE placement.

i saw this thread pop up enough times on the homepage that i finally gave it a listen! it has such a refreshing sound and i can't wait for it to smash

I wish she hadn't scrapped Fantastic and Born Again, either one would've been a perfect follow up to this.

Born Again, C'est La Vie and Fantastic are top tier. 

It is disappointing they weren't included on the album, Let's hope she releases a deluxe and they become bonus tracks at some point.

We need to start pitching this idea to her

The UK #1 is so on lock

Her old label is shaking

[Alex]

the way she turned her career around in a year after leaving that **** label is the biggest pop justice ever. I just know MULTIPLE label execs are fuming at the success  

[YoungDreamer]

I know she has some big pop gems under her belt/scrapped over the years, but this is not the moment to add them to her album imo. She's having her big break as an artist on her own, with independent releases and songs that are actually meaningful to her, from a concept and lyrical perspective. And as we know she has literally multiple unreleased albums on her vault, she can move into a new one quickly if she wants, but this one in particular should be everything that she ever wanted as an artist, she deserves to have her vision properly fullfilled after all these years of label limbo. And it's clearly working.

Totally agree

 

Flip A Switch final seems to be leaked now as well and it sounds like another Tik Tok smash, amazing banger, everything from this album so far is top notch and we really don't need it to be clogged with something that was created in a different mindset and style

[Abracadabra]

is this going #1 now with no christmas cockblocking it?

Most likely, her only competitor is Central Cee but she's outstreaming him and he's not really charting on iTunes.

spill, plus if anything she can just whip up another album after this in no time and hopefully repurpose some major bops she's been sitting on. It's sad to think she's only now being able to put out her debut album, her body of work that defines who she is and gets what she wants to say off of her chest. She should be on album #3 by now but she's so determined i'm sure it's only up from here.

I love this bop, the final beat 

[tbhmatt]

Can’t wait for this to go to number 1 on Friday 

[nathanspears]

I love how it's an actual SONG with STRUCTURE and LENGTH 

 

I can't believe this is now a shock but here we are

raye bringing back real artistry iktr

[khalyan]

This ended up being my 2nd most played song of 2022, even though it debuted in October  

[SweetTalker]

Ugh I do wish her catalogue would get a bigger boost than what it’s getting right now. I need hype for her album to be thru the roof

[Tiziano's Boy]

Heard it for the first time on Christmas Day last year and I'm obsessed with it
