Pharrell Williams & Miley Cyrus - "Doctor (Work It Out)"

I’m struggling to see the appeal in this song and I’ve given every snippet I’ve come across multiple listens.

 

The lyrics are simple like Flowers, but in a strange, tongue-in-cheek Megan Trainor way. I just don’t see “I could be your doctor and I could be your nurse’” garnering anything but an ‘I guess?’ reaction. :rip: Pharrell also has this problem where he doesn’t know when to stop adding to a song’s production and leave the studio. It’s never just a good beat, it has to include bells, whistles, warping sound effects, and questionable synths (and I’m no producer, but it’s jarring to listen to unless you have a taste for it).

 

It’s also just not that catchy. Not to be a huge downer, but it’s the same vibe I got with my first listen of ESV. Mediocre music after the solid showing of PH + Flowers.

 

To @Scars’s point, FUF or TOMO are good scraps that show Miley’s vulnerable side that the public have come to enjoy/expect, but in a fun pop way that either appeals to TikTok (FUF) or continues her down the ‘mature but still fun’ path that Flowers set (TOMO).

 

Theres still some decent hype around it based on Twitter engagement so we’ll see.

Agreed. I hope this smashes for Miley's sake because she deserves it, but the quality of her output since 2023 (aside from Flowers, Jaded, Rose Colored Glasses, and Violet Chemistry) has been underwhelming. Not bad by any means, just meh. Which isn't how I want to feel about an artist as insanely talented, interesting, and intelligent as Miley. She could make the most amazing music ever and she has. There's so many scrapped songs from ESV that obliterate every song released on that album. I wonder who's making these decisions, if it's Miley or her team? Regardless, I'm assuming it was Pharrell's idea to release this song?

Not the mixed reception in here... this song is cute!!

 

It sounds like a funky/sexy bop with slight Flowers vibes mixed with Pharrell's iconic production style. Sounds like a pop radio hit, something fun for the GP to hold us over until her next era. My only issue with the song is that the lyrics are less memorable than Flowers or Used To Be Young.

 

In terms of quality:

Jaded > River >> Doctor > Flowers >>>>> Used To Be Young :sorry:

 

In terms of hit potential:

Flowers >> Doctor > Jaded > Used To Be Young >>> River

Justice for #GETITRIGHT !!!!

 

This is cute but such a shame to waste all her buzz on.

SMASHING on Instagram :jonny6: Meanwhile TikTok is still acting weird with her videos... her TikTok engagement can be so inconsistent.
