This is the dumbest thing I've read in any Dua RO thread yet

Muffy sis...the revisionism. Don't Start Now and Levitating both took months to reach #2 on the Hot 100. Break My Heart did well on radio but it didn't go Top 10. Cold Heart and Dance The Night also took ages to reach their final peaks. I'm not saying that this era's hits are bigger, but she's doing fine and there's no need for this kind of fear-mongering. For some reason stans have convinced themselves that Dua is on Ariana's level in the US or something? and the discussion surrounding her performance in the country is usually loaded with bad faith. Performances might sound useless to most girls but they do actually work for Dua and we've barely had any this era. Meanwhile she was jumping between the EMAs, SNL, The Voice, Ellen, The Tonight Show, the AMAs, on Dick Clarks New Years Rockin Eve, Good Morning America, and eery single stage on earth for Dont Start Now and Levitating. The biggest push this era got so far in the US was the Grammys performance and that resulted in Houdini's dance break going viral and the song getting a significant boost in streams.

Plus, if I'm not wrong, even Levitating took some time to become the era's behemoth hit that it was. It came out in October 2020 and actually started smashing in early-mid 2021. 

double post um

a good stan would want her to be more creative. the song is reductive - enjoy!

Her headlining Coachella 3 weeks before the album comes out would've made absolutely no sense

I think it could have been incredible promotion for the song/album  

 

But if the era is still going next year, would make more sense to perform next year, you'd be right. Hopefully that's the case.

Her ability to recycle the same song for every albums needs to be applauded, but people Will get tired of it sooner or later if she keeps singing the same tune over and over again she needs to re invent her image/sound because its really kinda boring and expected at this point' it wont work like magic like her previous works...it felt lacking...and boring...

Lowkey upset Dua didnt headline Coachella and debut Illusion performance last night, could have been a viral MOMENT and given this song so much traction.

 

 

 

 

Doing Coachella now wouldnt make sense, she will do it next year to promote tour and re-release of RO

what song on DL1 does this sound like? 

 

Edited April 13, 20242 yr by Miss Harajuku

The instrumental kinda sounds like the transition music BBC uses during sports coverage 

 

I can literally hear the presenter saying 'next up we have the men's 400m relay event'

Dont even engage with such trolls ;)

A bop! I think it's my favorite from the other 2 songs

I can't believe people would use any girl as stan fuel against Dua.. she's one of the least problematic pop stars she just minds her business and gives us bops. Smilers have lost the plot 

Wait it's kinda bop of the century rn... maybe @Mark Rih won this time

 

what is going on with the gays on twitter? they are trying SO hard to hate this song are they all alergic to bops now?

 

just go and listen your boring indie artists if you want something dIfFeReNT!!1

i really don't get it. but then again she's unfortunately always kind of been an easy target/punching bag on there…partly due to not have a big online fanbase presence

It's most Smilers who STILL have a problem with her because Dua put Prisoner on the Moonlight edition, THREE ******* years later

I was just thinking that this is definitely the most GP friendly song from the era so far and this is the confirmation I needed, not to mention @TalkThatRihanna likes it too

 

 

I still don't think it will be that big but it should perform like Godini at least
