DawnAnti Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I was listening to music and don't start now came on shuffle and i listened to it and it aged so well , at first i was sceptical but i gave it a chance and i enjoyed it so much to a point i played the entire future nostalgia album , did it age the same way for you ? Is that song a future classic people will be talking about in 50 years? Thoughts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikeymoonshine Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) It's probably my favourite Dua song other than houdini, it's just so 80s. Edited August 19 by Mikeymoonshine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havewemet Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 The Live In LA version is by far the superior edit of the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillingYourCareer Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I never liked the song to begin with, I'm not a fan of bitter songs about exes where the singer convinces themselves that they're over it when they're clearly not, but musically it aged very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiss It Better Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 yes it still sounds so fresh unlike physical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChooseyLover Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 No, it didn't and I never liked the song. I think I might be the only one who prefers Radical Optimism over that era. RO has been the first era of hers I actually loved since Last Dance and all those amazing early singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kern Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Whole Future Nostalgia aged like fine wine. I think Dua has been one of the biggest hitmakers in modern pop and will be remembered as such Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wastedpotential Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Actually yeah, quite a bit. I definitely burned out on overplay, but coming back 5 years later it's fresh and it's excellent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bielneira Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Not at all. I love 'Future Nostalgia', but that whole album is trapped in 2020 to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Never enjoyed it. Houdini on the other hand... A real grower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rihinvention Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 This song's production doesn't get enough credit. It's two songs in one. One is a futuristic, EDM build-up, and the other (the drop) is a nostalgic, funk song. They literally represent "future" and "nostalgia". And then what does she do in the final chorus? A self mashup of both songs. It's like she spent 3 minutes teasing this massive drop, but kept taking it away from you at the last second. But then in the final chorus, you FINALLY get this huge crescendo moment with the two songs coming together, and it just works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
