You would be absolutely right. She is finally making music that matches her personality, no more vanilla crap.

It's messy and noisy but it bops at the same time. Her mind..

 

Jokes aside I hope it does something TikTok wise because it's clear it won't be a radio hit

this is a banger but the chanting chorus should've been more chill/muffled like something from Blackout and Sports Car

Yeah like this it would have had some potential

this was made for tik Tok cause radio aint gonna touch this.

I agree with this needing a more chilled approach when it comes to the chorus , ala sports car, the chanting is too much and she has such a loud voice...

About to listen to this song, I'm not expecting much tbh after listening to the LQ version this morning. 
 

The intro absolutely ruins this song. I'm really sick of her having no quality control and am constantly perplexed by how someone with so much musical talent can constantly put out .. crap. 
 

And yet she has demos like "Heard I Was Good" that are legit flawless and waiting to smash. 
 

lemme listen to this and report back in 5. 
 

I've been a fan of Z since I was 13 and im now 25. I will never stop pulling for her (her stage presence is undeniable) but this next era is going to be extremely telling for me. 
 

anywho, I'm wine drunk so sorry ab all this :coffee:

Are we sure her label is putting money on the single? Cause she's only at 15 on New Music Friday UK... :rip:

the chanting :toofunny3: literally ruins the whole song to a point that you can't even ignore it

It's fine. It's giving "None Of These Guys" in the worst way though. 
 

like these two songs are easily among the messiest / demo-esc songs in her catalog. 
 

To me, None Of These Guys perfectly represents Venus (album) in the worst way. 

You listen to that song once and you get an understanding for the quality (or lack there of) that you can expect on the album.

 

unfortunately, her quality is getting worse (not better)

 

So Good was the best produced album of her catalog, then Poster Girl, then Venus, and now this. 
 

I genuinely believe I could write better songs for her and I'm not a musician. 
 

the second verse and bridge are a very welcome surprise tho

 

EDIT: just listened again and I'm liking it more. It's a tier above None of these guys in quality but still, I'm shocked her and MNEK listened to this and thought "it's perfect, no changes needed"

 

I'll say this though, NOBODY can call this song generic and that's a first for Z. That's one piece of growth I can recognize (even if it needs a lot of cleaning up)

The chorus is so bad I had to stop the song after its first repetition… :rip:

The final chorus slaps so bad :WAP: 

So do you like this song now? Is it the same version as what you had heard?

grow uppppp it's such a fun song. something different from her, what we all have been begging!

Also, the instrumental on the pre chorus is so basic and I feel like she's used these same cheap instruments in so many songs atp

 

Overall im just gonna say it; I'm disappointed. And she's somehow managed to make her voice (my favorite live singer ever) sound so incredibly grating consistently for about 4 years now. Hate the direction she's going with everyday that seemingly passes

Grow up?? I'm her biggest fan ever I will always ride for her. This will be one of my most played songs of the year because it's HER.

 

but it's also grating (like a lot of her recent stuff) and I'm starting to seriously doubt my girl

Can't Tame Her was #19 on NMF on a much more competitive week, it's just as messy

Yeah I'm stanning bad. It had to take a while to marinate but it was worth it I fear

Love it. Feels different. So anthemic :gaycat4: Its my fave single from her in years
This feels so 2000s coded. Something about the instrumental. 
Praying to the nordic lords for this to be a hit. Praying to the runes :gaycat3:

This slaps. I'm a sucker for a chanty chorus! I have a feeling the video will tie it all together perfectly.
