Aribiotch. Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, Gaia said: Yes and no. She put a lot of Mac Miller references in the MV which makes everyone feel sympathy similar to doing the same thing in TUN when everyone fawned over the Malcolm line. A pretty calculated pivot to the era to switch from “Why do you care whose dick I ride” to aiming for sympathy when that backfired. It’s a Taylor level calculation but works. Good for her though, I’m not a fan of her after her for being a home wrecker but if we live in a world where Nicki Minaj still has fans then Ariana ain’t that bad.

Sweetie, WCBF was always meant to be the second single. The song was mostly made from the lyrics from the bridge of yes and 1 hour ago, Jpkun said: Really? I think it sounds very Jack Antonoff esque, with some slight Ariana R&B vibes thrown in.. Max Martin sweetie I’m SO sorry 35 minutes ago, bad guy said: I also was noticing people online saying the video/album is a ode to Mac too and was confused but I guess his favorite movie was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind so that may be the references people are referring to with the MV. As a fan of his I didn't even know that. Probably fans jumping to conclusions with that, or maybe it was intentional. Who knows. I don't think it's to gain sympathy though that's a bit harsh It was just his dog that she used in the video and I guess that he had an insta handle named after the movie Edited March 12 by dirrtydiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohwow Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 no it's pretty safe and generic, but has a nice beat to it that carries the song perfect background music-esque bop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bey_Rihstan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Yes because it's one of my least favorites on the album I'm glad she seems to have recovered from Yes, And? underperforming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twixters Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) It sounds like a reject Taylor swift song so not surprised. I could literally hear Taylor swift in this song. Beat reminds me of something Taylor did too. Edited March 13 by Twixters 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat reminds me of something Taylor did too. It has that same throbbing synthpop beat as Style. Ari did it earlier herself with Love Me Harder. Other songs in that style are True Disaster by Tove Lo, and Do What U Want by Gaga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iaintsorry Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 12 hours ago, Parallel said: Would’ve been the second smash of the era after “fantasize” but I’m glad Ari’s talent persevered regardless of a lackluster lead single I don’t agree Yes And was lackluster. It did what it was supposed to, scored her another #1 and got her the hype needed to launch a record 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big part of what makes the song special is Ari’s vocals and the way she emotes, both which she Taylor lacks. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
