one of the weakest lead singles in recent pop music. everything but the chorus ("do you think bout it night & day?") is very weak and uninspired. melodically it sounds like everything she's done before. 

not a promising start for an album most ppl hoped it would shake new grounds, but she's established enough to secure another world tour in arenas

THANK YOU I don’t know how everybody here is praising this boring ass song

[shark_heather]

4.5M already 

 

 

The video is absolutely incredible,  i dont know what some of you guys are seeing 

 

She looks phenomenal,  her moves are sensual and perfect 

 

This is gonna smash on tiktok reels  

[shark_heather]

Watch all the influences paint their hair and hitting the dance studios to create reels ... 

[Mark Rih]

Not me waking up to 4.5M views already 

[Junlin]

Not worth the hype. 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Another day and it still sounds perfect, and I’m not even a die-hard fan. Few years ago I thought she would never take off. That’s what happens when you serve talent, hard work, dedication and quality

[shark_heather]

Also the tricks they are doing with the mirror ... her dancers appearing and dissappearing ... her reflection doind different moves ... 

 

And u guys wanted her to do magic tricks 

[James_Dean]

She is the only girl capable of delivering these days.

THANK YOU DUA

[SugarfallB]

so far I like the video more than the song, but its a grower i guess

[katara]

We need good sis @popmusic to feed us insider Spotify tea. What is the projected first day?

[geminimoon]

Whoa. Yes she stayed in her lane but also made it sound so fresh and new. The evolution 

This is gonna sound & feel amazing at the clubs.

[shark_heather]

The fact that 100 red hair men are holding her and she dissappears into them while singing catch me or i go Houdini and she ends up alone doing Hairography 

[B-Luke]

Hmm, I  don't know how to explain it, but this song is... SOTY for me?

THE LAST MINUTE

 

SMASHINI  

 

SHE IS BACK  

The last minute is EVERYTHING. Gives it so much replay value 

[Chemist]

Absolutely love the song. And the video is simple yet effective.

 

This is what happens when you have good taste and hang out with the right people

[Dear Reader]

Hoedini is her best first single 

[mike_int]

I wish we get more outfits and change of scene

 

Imagine darker and smoother version of "Rush" video by Troye Sivan ... it  would eat up

[katara]

I hope hefty radio payola is secured. We need a 30M+ debut on radio like Anti-Hero

[Blank Space]

the song is getting universal acclaim atrl is the only place where I've seen divisive opinions but that's expected.

I’m glad not the only person who thinks this. Everyone else must be deaf or refusing to hear it. The song is a safe and is definitely something we’ve heard before. I do think it’s a good place to start but I’m hoping the next singles and album offer more. 

[Minogue]

Am I the only one getting major Madonna vibes?

Nope me too. Upon first listen it felt like Confessions mixed in with Madonna's usual musical approach with a standout bridge and outro.

 

It also gives me Britney and The Weeknd vibes.

DSN sweetie... Houdini is cute, but I preferred New Rules, DSN, and even Dance the Night. Recency bias is big here.
