charts discussion Love Again the smash hit that got away?

[Naikuun]

 

 

The final single from Future Nostalgia, and Dua's favorite song from the album, acclaimed by the media and THE fan-favorite, do you think it could have been a SMASH of DSN proportions with a promotional campaign similar to the first singles from the album?

 

In my wildest dreams Love Again was FN's lead single, and it has 3 billion streams on Spotify

 

It has just surpassed 300M views on YouTube, something no small thing for a dead platform within pop, and has more than 600M on Spotify. 

 

and it's almost outstreaming BMH and Physical.

My favorite alongside Levitating

It honestly deserved the push and promotion that We're Good received.

 

The Imanbek remix has like 57M streams as well. It's numbers are pretty decent considering it wasn't a huge chart hit in most regions.

Absolutely! One of my favourite singles by Dua, such a classic and the use of the sample is immaculate

[Punky Rooster]

Yeah it’s great, the 2nd best FN single after Physical. 

[Raphy23]

but it was a cute hit for her no?

[katara]

Yes I also been thinking that would have been an excellent lead of FN and would have had huge success

[Gesi]

One of the best song with unique sound, i don't like the video though they missed the opportunity.

[Ron Ng]

It's catchy but so overrated by her fans, the GP didn't like it. Physical deserved better

[Nashe]

such a timeless song. it'll definitely stand the test of time

[Prodigal Self]

Should've released Love Again instead of BMH but BMH smashed so it's fine

[PoisonPill]

It definitely should’ve been fully pushed instead of We’re Good which just sucks. The video is also bad and strange which didn’t help.

[Bey_Rihstan]

 

 

Yea if only her and Daniel Caesar released an MV and promoted it. sigh. a gold smasha still 

[VioletsandRoses]

They put it on TTH the first day as a single. Which is unheard of for a post album single. They tried but the GP said no. 

[Ger]

Actually American GP hated it, callouts were atrocious. If anything, it got more than fair Pop airplay.

[SlowGinFizzzz]

It was a pretty big radio hit in my country and I still hear it relatively often in clubs and bars – it's probably the most played Future Nostalgia track aside from Physical and Don't Start Now in those settings. So I think Love Again definitely did its thing, and overall the singles run was almost perfect (yes, We're Good was a bit underwhelming, but I'm pretty sure they only released that to gauge the fans' reaction to that different kind of sound).

Unfortunately the GP said no

well 600 millions streams on Spotify doesn’t sound like a “no” to me 

 

I used to hear it all the time on french radio

[Sergi91]

It’s also my favorite song from the album! It brings me back memories when I went to EDC Las Vegas in October 2021 and the song was playing nonstop at the Venetian
