Dua’s fanbase is mostly grown men who are mentally stable enough to not stream farm 

It's very interesting that you choose to frame "grown men" as mentally stable and the opposite (certainly women) as mentally unstable. But why am i surprised at seeing atrlers being mysoginists anyways?

Can I say something, love the song, probably more than FN but I wish she had 1 verse, chorus and then the synths come in, with song completely transforming into psychedelic electronica with that guitar intro, like she mentioned about Extended version, but I guess that wouldn’t be radio friendly….

well, it's a lead single from the latest MPG so it was def mainstream-alized BUT her talking about the extended version got me excited but it sounds like it has what you're talking about which is exactly what i need as well, the synth at the end and psychedelic electronica  (i hope psych-electronica is the sound of DL3 given kevin, we'll see).

Some people are just saying the random bs

 

I'm just really glad my fave non-Taylor pop girl makes quality music, serves complete eras, delivers great performance, is hot af, and is also intelligent af. I even love her book recs. Dua I love you <33

[Tistotal]

Do you think about it night and day

maybe you could be the one to make me stay 

it’s a bop!

[perpetual novice]

Only on ATRL can an artist post their biggest numbers ever after already having 2 hit eras and be considered an underperformance

#11 debut would be so on brand for her

The song’s potential is definitely restricted by attempt at mainstream appeal, I hope the said extended mix is gonna do it true justice

She should pull a Kylie and work on a complete extended version of the album down the line. I have a feeling more songs will have elements that will leave us wonder. But maybe I'm wrong

So someone is a misogynist because you chose to read that comment in your own way and take it out of context? That must’ve triggered your frustrations.

Geezus she's by FAR most reminding me of Madonna in so many ways but esp. the 'messy chart struggles' & all her cringe chart peaks (tons of #2s etc.. w/ most of them being iconic/pop gems) over s*it, mediocre forgotten songs lol

Couldn't agree more 

 

It's so weird and predictable how people have those weird standards for Dua, nothing she ever accomplishes is good enough for them

Tbh she could learn from Jack and Tate. They have instant hits in US and UK coz they put snippets on TikTok.

 

She should have done the same instead of blue balling us for a month. Her release strategy is antiquated

Dua doesn’t need tiktok. Thankfully. 

[Strawberry Bubble]

Okay, didn't like it at the beginning. But I'm in my fourth listen and it is actually a good song.

And the fact that her hits are more memorable than some #1s of big popstars (yes Taylor is also one of them) goes to show having a #1 means nothing when you can sell out arenas around the world and remain relevant 8 years in your career.

IMMACULATE

 

She sucked Kevin Parker and Danny dry

[deGonzz]

The main hook is really good. I think the song is missing a main chorus, instead of this post-hook.

 

I feel like I will get tired of hearing just this hook, very quickly.

I agree. You have to adapt to the times. Those who remain rigid and unchanged become stale.

 

She can have both quality and effective promo tactics.

well hopefully NOT PP & tension's extended versions because they totally sucked and destroyed the song's momentum. hold on to now though, now that's how you make an extended edit to improve a song  

 

 

[Khamis]

Coming out of my ATRL retirement to profess my love for this song only to come in and see people talking about THESE NUMBERS being an underperformance. I swear some of yall are miserable.

 

enjoying this GHEY pop MASTERPIECE that also happens to be the biggest debut of her career!

People comparing her to Miley (huge Disney fanbase) or Olivia (huge kid/tween/Disney fanbase) is such a mess 

 

The Little Escape Artists are not the kind to stream something on loop. This will smash around Christmas/New Year's . 

After

 

Not during 

 

Top 50 will be Xmas songs

No she doesn’t need it as a main source of promotion. New pop girls like Tate or Tyla, yes they do. But not for someone that is established. How many tik tok dances to cold heart or dance the night have you seen? And they’re her most recent hits. Dua can survive without a tik tok smash. If it does do well there then it’s a bonus

[RIKI232]

When do u think we can expect Tour announcement?
