did anyone else notice her doing the same choreography in the video that she does all the time? It's getting so tired. fire the choreographer! 

Yeah she needs to fire the choreographer. Tho she's not the best of dancers sl maybe she feels comfortable with them

It is a mix of the choreos being similar but Dua still not being really that good. She does it ok but she lacks flow, she is rather stiff

I like the song, I think more so than Training Season, but less than Houdini as of today

Houdini's choreo was the only good one this era tbh. There's a reason it went VIRAL

3/3 for me. 

 

But I think this is my least favorite.

Made this my avi on the hetero forums i use.

Someone's gotta promote the vacation songstress to the GP.

How am i gonna make sure their first listen is the superior extender version though.

TS would not have flopped if it was the extended getting the focus! + a Physical workout MV.

The chorus is terrible she sounds like a one note robot :deadbanana2: I can't believe this Mabel type of music is a single and #1 on TTH over songs literally doing 7-9M on global spotify steadily for weeks :bibliahh: absolutely shameless

She's stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she'd released this after Dance The Night people would've said it's just a retread of FN, but after the first two singles this is now considered too safe. Something isn't clicking for me with this era but she can't please anyone with this kind of attitude towards her music post-FN. It's like Solar Power and Starcrossed after Melodrama and Golden Hour.

This hasn't nothing to do with FN, clear your ear.

Just because it's dance-pop it doesn't mean it's the same thing.

Yeah, the dance break during the bridge was kind of tired

 

I guess this is her sweet spot choreo wise but like… switch it up

This is such a sultry club track, I really don't get the hate. It's giving late 90s/early 2000s Kylie in the best way possible. The video is also a visual masterpiece. I agree the visuals / sonics of this era have been a bit disjointed, but as standalone singles I think all 3 of the releases thus far have met the measure and solidified Dua as a weapon in pop music.

It's doing worse than Sabrina song on Apple and iTunes……:dancehall2:

Posted

This is a bop! Cool video too

Much better than Training Season

Can't wait for the album

13 people use iTunes globally, so respectfully I wouldn't use that as a barometer of success!

Training Season is my 2nd most played 2024 song, & my 1st is Texas Hold Em X The Less I Know The Better mashup. Tame Impala really did THAT. TS was originally ahead, but I kinda overplayed it. It's still a slay whenever i listen to it tho :loud: The illusion snippet killed my hype, but the actual song is a slay. A reverse Houdini experience.

 

I hope this smashes & she actually promotes it :clown:

The way literally nothing is hitting this era :rip:

All three singles are a hit for me, though this song is definitely the safest. I wonder if GP will latch on to this one. 

 

As long as Dua keeps giving quality music I don't care if this era isn't a big smash like Future Nostalgia

The negativity in here compared to when it just came out :deadbanana2: this absolutely does not sound like a standard H&M mall bop. There are subtle elements in this song that set it apart from that. Like the pre-chorus, the bells, the instrumental part towards the end.

This would go awf in the club, it's almost similar to One Kiss
