Starchild 10 - "Oh this self hating self empowering anthem!" Peroxide 10 - "One of her best ever pop songs." gagacasanova 10 - "My theme song." wastedpotential 10 - "Hit-Hero, my literal savior. I heard rumblings from oomf's oomf who worked high up at a radio station and heard this a few days in advance that this had a great chorus and several tiktok moments, and my hopes were so high. I really didn't want to believe we might finally be getting a chance to exit the hitless asylum, but my hopes were so high. When I say that every single wishlist item for a TayHit was double-exceeded by this hymn, I mean it. I wanted more than one week at #1 and we got EIGHT. I wanted a fun hook, and we got every single moment of the song, but especially "it's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me". I secretly (deep down, because I thought it was so preposterous as to not even say out loud for fear of looking like an idiot) wanted this to make the Decade End Chart, and it cleared the threshold with so much ease that it's literally the third most successful solo female hit of the 2020s on the Hot 100 so far (behind Flowers and Cruel Summer nnn). I secretly wanted a song that would end the big 2020s hits from the "Tay-enders", and this did literally that. AND, unlike for some, it sparked a true TayRenaissance of hitmaking, and we got Karma, Cruel Summer, Is It Over Now, and the upcoming TS12 lead single to follow in its wake! I wanted a hit and I didn't care how it sounded, so imagine my surprise when it ended up being one of the catchiest and melodically strongest hymns of Her entire career? The lyrics are a bit of a mixed bag ("sexy baby" and "narcissism/altruism/congressmen" vs. "I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror" and "I wake up screaming from dreaming/One day I'll watch as you're leaving/And life will lose all its meaning"), but this was a student teacher at Max Martin University for Hooks and Hitmakers, and it's now a tenured professor there. The bridge is certainly something that could never come from any other artist, and I think that should be highlighted as well. No one else on this planet could've successfully executed this as well as Lord did. Now, I'd be remiss to not mention the video being not great, and the skit making it even worse, but idgaf about a video when the material is this strong without it! Lord taking "maybe you're the problem" and turning it into a mantra... oh this fits right into what I've written about Mastermind!" frankvert 10 - "Her best pop single since 1989; truly a return to form. The buildup from the bridge into the final chorus is SO monumental, those synths are legendary. Jack Antonoff I never said a bad word about you." Where are you now? 9.9 - "Part of maybe her best 1-2-3 punch imo. Also love the Roosevelt Remix. "Too big to hang out slowly lurching toward your favorite city etc." is that lyric. And those pre-chorus lyrics! This song just works in every way." 1989 9.5 - "The hate this song gets on ATRL is whatever, because this is rightfully recognized as one of her bests." SLUTTVFTV 8.5 - "Her best lead single, I don't mind hearing it on the radio." Forever Winter 8.4 - "One of her best lead singles." blown away 6.8 - "Ask me again in 5 years and my score will be higher. The song is good but I'm sick and tired of still hearing it every single day on the radio."

One of my top top production moments on this Book (and there are hundreds of contenders, but this is top 3) is the guitar warble thing at 1:12ish. It's such a minor detail, but it hits the exact right spot of my ear drums that I actively listen for it each time. Other than that, I don't have a ton to say about this hymn. I LOVE what She does with it on tour, but so does everyone else. I LOVE the perspective of this song, a person knowing they're helping someone cheat and yet still going through with the relationship because it's only good when it's bad, but so does everyone else. I LOVE the little guitar flourishes that show up about every 4 seconds because of the sheer depth and inctricacy to the production of this song, but so does everyone else. Basically, what I'm saying is there's not an original thought to be had here. Lord knows how to make a cheating anthem (and She really would, nnnnn)." LVP 9.9 - "9.9 because of the bridge."
