SayIt Posted February 21 Posted February 21 46 minutes ago, Relampago. said: When the album came out it was basically immediately lauded as THE pop album of the year, even amongst all the competition of Spring 2020 and the peak of COVID. She got good word of mouth and stellar reviews which made the era have legs for awhile even though the singles weren’t mega smashas in the US outside of DSN which had come out nearly half a year before the album at that point. She’s kinda in a similar situation now, given the busy release schedule of Spring 2024, so if she can manage to outshine the other girlies in quality yet again, that’ll do wonders for the era’s good word of mouth. 36 minutes ago, Cain said: FN got immense critical acclaim from outlets (88 on Metacritic) which really helped its release, everyone was kind of shocked Thanks for the backstory I am excited to witness the rollout of DL3 and the history it will make. The quality of Houdini and Training Season makes me excited to experience the album in full. I know Dua/writes/produces put their hearts into this project and I hope that it will get its shine!
LCTV Posted February 21 Posted February 21 So is she working with the same producer on these songs? I'm too lazy to read up on this. Because I LOVE Dua but these songs aren't doing IT like all her other stuff and I'm wondering if it's because of the production.
LanaXtinaFan Posted February 21 Posted February 21 The US numbers for this song actually aren’t that bad at all, so far. I dunno what y’all are seeing.
Danny1021 Posted February 21 Posted February 21 8 hours ago, curiousladybug said: So some apparent tea about the OG video and why it was decided it's not gonna be released. It was in the same "world" as the one that was released, meaning it contained minimalistic editing and a plain color pallet, but the story is a bit different. It starts off with Dua and "her bf" walking amongst all these men, none of whom care about Dua now that she has a bf.. Then the argument starts and they break up, music starts right after he leaves her, Dua walks around the city alone and then men start noticing her being alone and start taking action towards her. At first it starts innocently with them giving her flowers, chocolates in a shape of hearts,... Then right before the second chorus things shart taking a turn for the worse with men starting to fight each other, destroying things around them, violently grabbing her.. (Bridge hits) Dua then starts running and bunch of men start running after her (all this in slow motion).. When the last chorus hits things start being REALLY messed up with men using weapons against each other, start running cars trying to catch Dua, destroying buildings/cars around them and completely losing their mind. Consumed by all this hate they end up forgetting about Dua and they end up accidentally k wording Dua and we see her laying on the streets while a bunch of them gather around her after noticing. They quickly lose interest and leave her laying there like nothing happened and they go back to their usual day. Dua "wakes up" and is back at the begging with her bf we saw at the start, she realises it was all a “fantasy” and she laughs and leaves the scene with him, they’re holding hands. She then turns and winks at us. The end. I’m so mad this wasn’t released and we got such a lack luster lazy boring video . No wonder the song is flopping. Cause the boring video isn’t even helping

In no universe did anyone think Dua would have a critically lauded album in her catalog. Rest is history, truly.
lip Posted February 21 Posted February 21 The way the US just lags six months behind with every Dua single is absolutely silly at this point. Watch Houdini reach a new peak in May the week before the album, while TS finds its way to the top 10 in August while the rest of the world is already bopping to the fourth single.
