What do we think the clean version will sound like? :rip:

This is kinda SZA meets K. Michelle... More towards the K. Michelle side because it's nowhere near the SZA pen in terms of creativity and inventiveness.

Her enunciation in the first verse doesn't help either... It sounds like she's saying "Fun" instead of the "***".

Overall, this is a whole new direction... and one that could work for her, especially because it could get her a space in the R&B sad girls niche...

I just heard the song in full. It is her best song to date, nothing like any of her previous songs. I don’t know why some of y’all are saying it reminds you of SZA. It sounds NOTHING like SZA’s music at all. The song actually sounds like it is inspired by Jazmine Sullivan and has elements of gospel. It is very soulful.

Lol ATRL’s opnions suck though. They all said Miley’s recent song wasn’t a hit and look! Also if it’s R&B, I’m REALLY not listening to y’all lololol.

So true. A lot of critics on here aren’t fans of R&B. I shouldn’t have listened to them. The song is really good.

Right, I saw the reactions here and just kept it pushing lol. I think this is the perfect launch to the album. It's not "empire music", it's not "too sexual", it's not "tik tok pandering". It's a great R&B song with amazing production, great vocals, great harmonies. Not necessarily crafted to burn down the charts, but it'll grab the interest of the people who probably were not looking forward to the album after being turned off by some of the things she put out or was doing. Absolutely in love with the direction of the album launch and the new single. 9.5/10 for me. I just wish we got a drawn out outro with the birds chirping and the instrumentation because the production is next level!

Definitely agree. I wish the song was longer. I’m even more excited for the album now.

& the teaser doesn't do the full song any justice at all. I think you're going to love it!

I listened a few more times and honestly, I think I will enjoy it a lot more in the context of the album. The song isn't bad at all but it just doesn't give 'single' or maybe I was expecting something different idk.

 

Still perched for the visual (assuming we're getting one soon) :alexz3:

the song is VERY quality.

 

im glad she went back to the drawing board. i think she's going to go more vocal-forward with this album for sure

I need this short song thing to end, stop blaming tiktok and short attention spans and just say you're not creative enough to come up with a fitting new verse/bridge, so irritating (this is to everyone not just Chloe's writers).

 

Excited to hear the new song but damn...

It’s already been released in a few countries? 
 

I’ll check it out. I wasn’t too keen on her direction after Have Mercy. I am hoping this is better.

I’m in the minority I prefer shorter songs. I hated during 2015 where artist were releasing long ass song. Trim the fat

 

this song wouldn’t benighted by making it longer. She could’ve made it 3 minutes by having a 4 to 8 bar into and doing a final chorus but it would’ve added nothing to the song. The song already has a bunch of vocals so doing a final chorus with saliva would’ve been too much. She hit all the parts of the song into, 2 verses, 2 chorus, bridge and outdo. Just trimmed the fat
