lip Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) The main critique being that the song is too big for the video tells you all you need to know... this will be a smash Edited February 16 by lip didnt finish typing

Not a bad assumption, they probably saw how Houdini underperformed (long intro, outro and the different bridge) and edited Training Season down right away to make it more radio friendly rather than try and re-launch an edited version But insiders haven’t said the released version is different from what they heard before so I don't think so

ATRL Moderator Azulito Posted February 16 ATRL Moderator Posted February 16 The song is cute but the video is really underwhelming. I was waiting for there to be a jump to her dancing or something, definitely disappointing.

Junlin Posted February 16 Posted February 16 A BOP but the bridge wtf it totally brings down the song
CameraFlashes Posted February 16 Posted February 16 her mass music video budget decline should be studied song is cute but houdini is better tbh so far the singles are better Than FN but sadly her commercial flop era is coming
Relampago. Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Okay I kinda switched on this… I see the vision. The chorus is giving me Disney Channel bop (See You Again teas in the vibes… wordy but catchy) in all the right ways, while the choruses make up for that “generic” feeling in the chorus with an amazing instrumental and punchier production. Houdini is still the better song for me but Training Season is undeniably the better single. Both are 10/10 anyways though so we won regardless 2

gatito Posted February 16 Posted February 16 this awful video makes houdini look like thriller what the duck was she thinking?
Alex21kw Posted February 16 Posted February 16 It's very ABBA, which is good. I also agree a bigger third chorus/vocal production would have been a good addition to the song
Labraiseofficial Posted February 16 Posted February 16 (edited) i mean looking at whats smashing we need a good good song and that is what it is. except cruel summer and his stunning mv all the smash songs are forgetable visually hahaha here for Smashing season Edited February 16 by Labraiseofficial

NoOneDiesFromLove Posted February 16 Posted February 16 Alright I did not graduate from the Taylor Swift university of Easter egg hunting for nothing and maybe this is nothing but the wall calendar behind Dua would match the month of April if it weren’t for the fact that it skips over April 7th for no reason?
ANG3L Posted February 16 Posted February 16 The last chorus is fine, there's too much going on Anyone else hears volume suddenly reducing in 0:39 before going to pre chorus?
