The excellence in the instrumentals and the stylistic vocals

It's mid af

[Abracadabra]

 

[John Slayne]

it's definitely top 5 on that album 

[Venus XCX]

It's a modern day classic. Deserved to be one of her greatest hits!

IDW's organ backed instrumental just takes it for me, very underutilised in pop music 

[Feanor]

'30' in general is so good, it deserved better.

[Draper.]

Yes 

[BlackoutZone]

It took me a while to get it, but it's definitely a career highlight, especially live

Die With a Smile - Lady GaGa, Bruno Mars

Can't Catch me now - Olivia Rodrigo 

[CherryBay]

Yes it is a masterpiece that was done dirty

[jezebelvictoria]

Absolutely hate that song. 'To Be Loved' was the defining song/ballad from that album. 

[blown away]

It's a beautiful song, maybe not the best but definitely up there.

[Mikeymoonshine]

I love it but I wish she'd kept it as a 10 minute song seeing as it wasn't a hit anyway, may as well flop doing something interesting.

It's so good, I love the juxtaposition between the simply, honest lyrics and rich vocals and instruments

[Katamari]

Love in the dark eats imo
