Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama team up on this single to produce what is arguably one of the most lacklustre songs of each of their discographies. The song samples September’s iconic hit “Cry for You” yet neither Charli nor Rina manage to add anything of value to the song. A collaboration between two of the most exciting women in pop music could and should have been so much more and for that reason alone, it received my 0. Many ATRLers agreed that the song was a let-down: @cockatoo moaned “Charli's vocals are so bad on this. A great example of a sample that ruined the original song” and @beomgyu questioned “how did two of the most interesting artists in modern pop music come together and make the most boring and chewed out single of both their careers?”. Lovers (10s and 11s): 10 - Matthew4815 10 - supaspaz Haters (0s and 1s): 1 - Sanguine 1 - Born to Run 1 - cockatoo 0 - @greento 0 - @beomgyu Oh, you all fucking INSANE for this.
ATRL Moderator supaspaz Posted July 31, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted July 31, 2023 As I said in my commentary that for some reason greento isn’t using, “Beg For You” is what Ava Max wishes she could do and never will. It may be heavily reliant on a sample, but it’s an absolute bop.

cockatoo Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 So Nice and Sideways going out is disgusting Let's just get the rest of HTG out because it's just beating a dead horse atp

The song depicts a breakup in which Carly realises she was the one to mess up, she explains that it was “it was nice to be the one who was humbled and to see that I messed up, and try out a song where I wrote from the bad perspective”. The song is cute and has nice production but it fails to stand out as anything special among the other tracks on The Loneliest Time. @supaspaz shows his love for the song “So many good lines – starting with “First, I just imagined all your qualities and that's my fault” – underpinned by a subtly sweet soundscape.” Lovers (10s and 11s): 10 - supaspaz Haters (0s and 1s): None How on earth is this the first Carly track out?
pavi Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 True Romance out is a CRIME. Not some of you hating on her vocals while it are some of her best cause of how powerful and vulnerable they are Can't believe Twice made it this far, can't even remember it. I'm rooting for Go Find Yourself, girl is holding on for life!! 1

Ewan Chaos Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 I keep forgetting we're not in This Was 2022 with its 100 songs and being like "THIS IS SO LOW" but it's like only 41 sidhsiodhsoihds. Some of the songs still in tho.........
cockatoo Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Just now, madonnas said: I mean idk about you but I gave this hell and imagining 10s… Ok actually I did give those both good scores, but everything else...OUT!

This is possibly Tove’s most emotionally raw track ever both vocally and lyrically. It slowly builds with an understated instrumental that allows Tove to express herself through her voice. It was inspired by the 1993 film of the same name and tells the story of someone willing to break the law to prove their love for their partner-in-crime and live a Bonnie and Clyde-esque lifestyle with them. @supaspaz gave the song his 11 and backs it up with “Absolutely stunning. This song changed my entire perception of Tove. I’d never felt such emotional fulfilment from her before”. @pavi also gave it their 11 and says the song is “CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. The suspense and power in her voice, amazing!!” Lovers (10s and 11s): 11 - @pavi 11 - @supaspaz 10 - greento 10 - creativity. Haters (0s and 1s): 1 - Supervillain 1 - 4Real 0 - @Psycho Okay, I’m out, y’all. This rate is severely lacking in taste. I don’t need to stick around to see the mess that awaits. 2
cockatoo Posted July 31, 2023 Posted July 31, 2023 Move me and Twice are both decent songs. There's definitely a few other songs on that album I'd have kicked before them

greento Posted July 31, 2023 Author Posted July 31, 2023 Some of you overreacting acting like HTG has no great songs. It’s highs are super high, and it’s lows aren’t even awful tbh 1
