I thought she was nosediving everywhere 

And you’d be right to think that

This is a part of her disappearing act rollout, the real numbers will show up Monday!

The whole concept of this song was to have a quick debut and then disappear from the charts

 

Conceptual QUEEN

 

[Cheers]

Still a bop even if it flops

She needs to get her a** up and work, give us that sexy Houdini performance, BBMAs, IHeart Radio, ARIA, MAMA awards. Imagine her performing bridge and outro live being all sweaty with rain pouring down!

There’s time and place for everything, Dua herself has said she wants to do at least one more pop dance album.

I’m sure EVERYONE would love an album more focused on her vocals, but there’s no need to rush, she’s not even 30. Let her serve more bops before a switch.
 

this is giving Revival -> Rare

Video directed by Manu Cossu, previous works:
- M83 "Midnight City"
- Drake "Energy"
- Gesaffelstein & The Weeknd "Lost In The Fire"
- The Weeknd, Swedish House Mafia "Sacrifice (Remix / Alternate World)"

 love the video, my fave since Physical.

I doubt she's in her "I'm too famous to promote my sht" era, but all you gays make me think that, the song was released 2 days ago...

[Relampago.]

I genuinely believe in this song. As someone who predicted Tyla of all people getting a hit, I have a feeling in my bones that this will be a hit as well. 
 

It just doesn’t HIT right off the bat as hard as it does after a few listens. Once the payola kicks in, people will realize they liked it all along, they just needed the TTH residency to realize it

[DoubleRainbow!]

Maybe the music video should’ve starred a famous male celebrity with Dua sexy dancing around him like Troye Sivan did to get the whole world talk about it 

[Shaner69]

This is a totally risky smash. People advertising this sounds like future nostalgia are smoking heavy crack.

 

Training season obviously was a lead single? 

 

 

Hold my hand Joanne we are in for a ride

[shark_heather]

I think its completely pointless to promote now 

 

Xmas songs are already taking over slowly 

 

The song is being promoted in all the streaming platforms anyways 

 

I think it makes sense to let it build some small airplay during freeze ( if its possible ) and go hard after Xmas

I suppose Xmas songs are around the corner to take over probably in the next couple of days

Need it to remain in the 2.5-3m mark during this period then explode in January. Saying that, I think she’ll release the 2nd single in January-Feb along with the album so may not happen

Nice hold!! expecting a 4.1-4.2M Friday 

Not bad for this boring not instant song 

[Naikuun]

You all let's be f****** for real for once, this will be steady in the 3M-4M till New Year's and album drop, expecting a 7M peak with album or new years boost 🐱💐

I wonder if Houdini had already been recorded by then and if it is still part of said lyrical theme.

[katara]

Good hold

 

I can't believe Xmas songs are starting to dominate already. Every year the period of their reign gets bigger
