The tapes on the other side: Sleepwalker, American Girl, Somebody, Stars In Your Heart, California Winter, Bombastic, Wasted Youth, I Want It All.

It's the videos she released so far. I feel like there was a Easy VHS when we first saw the vault.

I think she should do American Girl Bonnie’s Version.

Was this already released/leaked years ago? I just played it and already knew the words to parts…

She's performed the song a bunch through the years and yes it did leak over a year or so ago. She's essentially releasing the album she had ready to go back in 2013

Damn this is such a solid perfect pop song. This revamped version washes the leaked one. It's almost like power pop, how hard it hits

Usually when an artist re-records it's a bit **** and inferior but this is so much better than the original! Love that it's finally out.

Oh wow, the video is actually incredible for something self-funded, she really put those Teenage Dream royalties to work. :clap3: Loved all the looks and sets, a literal SLAY!

Wow, it's actually really cool that this went above and beyond my expectations. I was a bit iffy about the song choice because it did seem sort of dated, and wasn't sure that just re-recording it would be enough. Her new vocals and the new lyrics are both obviously very good but the alterations made to the production really elevate it just enough that I think it was executed extremely well. Some of the lyric changes are sort of odd (especially the chorus, I can't tell if she's saying firebirds [which isn't a real thing] or fireworks, and the change to 1999 feels random) but otherwise it flows good. The music video is also really nice, I'm normally not a fan of music videos that are basically just glam shots in succession but she looks amazing and the visuals she pulls out would put bigger pop stars to shame.

Bonnie is a perfectionist so I doubt she would take shortcuts. I still prefer how punchy the leaked version is over this but I have high hopes for the rest of the tracks that she has to re-record. And she's only been recording these since the beginning of the year so I'm incredibly impressed how SLAY turned out.

I believe she is referring to the Pontiac Firebird.

which would make a lot of sense for Bonnie due to her love for the 70s and 80s.

12k on Spotify and about 30k on YouTube seems pretty standard for a true indie artist that only has herself to promote. Pretty similar to like Hatchie or Fefe Dobson’s recent releases.
 

just gotta keep spamming the song so Gay Twitter finds it.

117k on YouTube (audio + video), 61k on Spotify so far (178k streams combined). Considering the fact it's indie release of 10 years old song by the person who dipped for years, it's pretty good.

Keep streaming!

 

I can't stop playing this song!!!! It's AMAZING

This is a bop and a half. :jonnycat:

Just passed 200k on YouTube & 100k on Spotify. Definitely seems to be outpacing anything else she’s released since Bombastic.

Some news around the album (from her TikTok comments):

 

- She's working on another video at the moment

- She's teased another single coming this month (I really hope it's Hot City along with an album pre-order)

- There's a total of 15 tracks on the album (she said there are 14 more unreleased tracks)

 

I'm still in shock this is even happening. Come through, Bonnie!

I think it’s most likely Don’t Get Mad Get Famous since it was supposed to come with SLAY as a b-side initially but I’m happy to take anything from the new album as long as we get album pre-order finally.
