Popboi. Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) They should’ve went harder with the song, something grittier would’ve been such a collapse. It sounds very soundtrack-ish tbh, would not be out of place next to The Other Side from Trolls. Edited September 3, 2023 by Popboi.
prézli Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 It's not bad, just people expected something more groundbreaking.
Nashe Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 I bet they will come up with a stronger song. Hopefully with a prepared music video that time...

I guess they won't even do a music video now considering the bad streaming numbers? I'm hoping for a new song in the next month or two while Keep Going Up hopefully grows on radio at least!

skizzo Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Nelly hasn't aged one bit, looking flawless. Those portuguese genes kicking in
shyboi Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Is this their official song tho? The one they were promising? Maybe they are just testing the waters? JT's voice sounds very whiny and tired, he is dragging the song down. Nelly and the other guy have great chemistry, always!

I think they were relying way too much on the nostalgia-factor and the frequent viral social media posts about Nelly's iconic Loose singles and their collabs thinking it would result in some bigger numbers. Playlisting is everything nowadays. If it's not set up from the get-go and the song is receiving mediocre reception, it's not gonna go anywhere. Radio is the only metric I can see it doing well in the long run....

Radio is the only metric I can see it doing well in the long run.... they are obv relying on nostalgia, in fact one could say it's the only thing they're relying on (along with whatever radio deal they got + the 1 week espn promo) but nostalgia doesn't automatically translate into streams if "no one" is aware it's out.. as I said the gp hasn't been checking for their releases in ages so how would they be aware of this one. if playlisting is everything nowadays - and it is - and this has mediocre playlisting, who's to say it can't grow if that improves? literally my point there's lots that could happen to make the song click at a larger scale, it just came out and they shouldn't move on from precisely taking full advantage of the "first collab in decades" factor just cuz it isn't smashing out of the gate Edited September 3, 2023 by okgo

Ivan_brit Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 The song is kind of boring, I had big expectations considering the smash’s they have us during the 2000s
toy soldier. Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Meh, not surprised. The song is better than what I expected from the snippet, but they must've KNOWN the song is not as good as their previous efforts
Vilko Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Even the top comments on Nelly's TikTok are disappointed and saying it didn't hit... I mean what happened? Did they rush through the songwriting or something? How did they get it so wrong?
Dark Miracles Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 The streaming numbers are to be expected considering there is very little playlisting for the song. This song's only (long) shot at success was always gonna be either radio backing it fully or blowing up on Tiktok. Anywho still bopping 1
Movimento Perpétuo Posted September 3, 2023 Posted September 3, 2023 Anyone who thought this would be a huge hit it's either delulu or simply trolling Anyways, still bopping to this
