Carter Posted August 29 Posted August 29 (edited) in my personal opinion, it's one of her best work to date and the fact she treats the song like never existed hurts me till this day. according to critics: Rolling Stones ranked the song at #39 on their list of best songs of 2010s Billboard ranked the song at #1 on their list Billboard's 100 Best Songs of 2017 and many more, do you think the song deserved better?

Spicy Pisces Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Yes, it's very good and it should've been included in Rare. 1
Saintlor Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Definitely, it's amazing. Hasn't aged a day too Unfortunately, most commercial singers view music as better if it charts well 3
Rihinvention Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Hmmm…no. I love the video and the foundations of the song, but I always felt like the vocal and the production…didn't match? It sounds like she's off-beat, but that's not an issue on Selena's end. The potential is there…I've just always felt like mistakes were made? I think if the producers had polished it more, and fixed those mistakes, then it could've performed so much better. 1 1
Boysdontcry Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Yes and that whole era deserved better. I still wish we'd have gotten the original SG2 with BL/Fetish.

DirtyPony87 Posted August 29 Posted August 29 I see this topic come up every 6-12 months. And YES. It's her best song. I will always be salty that we never got the full songs from that Bad Liar and Fetish era. Maybe we got some of that in Rare, but that project would have been so much better than what we got. It's a shame. This song is a classic. Fetish is excellent, too.
dumbsparce Posted August 29 Posted August 29 2017 - 2018 is her own Original Doll era filled with what ifs and whys. What a shame
Mr. Duff Posted August 29 Posted August 29 What a great song, to be honest her droplets are so much better than the Rare tracks. Bad Liar, Fetish, Wolves, Back to You and It Ain't Me were great songs. I know Feel Me is in Rare but that could have done wonders too. Even her collab Past Life was great. 1
Jacobdaniel Posted August 29 Posted August 29 fantastic song, one of her best. idk if the GP is refined enough to appreciate it tho. the girls that get it, get it
Sad Serenade Posted August 29 Posted August 29 It Ain't Me and Bad Liar were 2 of 2017 best songs. I'm glad she released the droplets
Katygato Posted August 29 Posted August 29 Her best song! My only gripe with it is that her characterization as the dad in the mv was... weird, lol. But yeah, it deserved better.
Cruel Summer Posted August 29 Posted August 29 This song is genuinely one of the best tracks ever recorded by a pop artist and deserved to be one of those obnoxiously overplayed radio hits that you hear nonstop for like six months straight. Brilliant sample usage. Its relative minimalism is where the magic lies - it's straightforward, catchy, effective pop with no complications or unnecessary flourishes. Perfect simplicity. 1 1
bielneira Posted August 29 Posted August 29 It is good, but "Fetish" is the one who TRULY deserved much better
YourFavoriteWeapon Posted August 29 Posted August 29 I was honestly shocked that it didn't even get a Grammy nom considering it was so acclaimed. At the end of the day, it's still an amazing song and one of her best no matter it performed.
SapphireSky Posted August 29 Posted August 29 I wish we had gotten the album that was originally planned This and fetish was the only time I was interested in her music

Maroonx Posted August 30 Posted August 30 This is her best song and artistic peak (alongside 'Fetish' maybe). I don't think she will pull anything this good again. x
