pavi Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Just now really had the time to listen to this and I unironically love this!? It's loud, it's extra, it's camp, oof! Especially the second verse is wow What I like the most is that she's giving us something unique with this song and we've been needing that from her. No more generic pop songs, please! I also love how it gives me throwback vibes to Hollaback Girl, Dirrty, Like a G6... all at once. Get why people wouldn't like this but it's so much FUN 2
TryMe Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Yeah this is great With the right promo I can see this become a hit for her. She seems hungry, taking the Good Girl Gone Bad, Dirty route. But yh every era I think she has a hit on her hands and then it does nothing... 2
Binxstan Posted May 1 Posted May 1 it's evident she can't afford playlisting but I hope she can afford unlimited data because she needs to be on tiktok 24/7 spamming this until it turns people's brains to mush to get herself a HIT

It's been completely snubbed as far as i'm aware and wasn't included on new pop or future hits this week too. Its not been played on Capital yet despite Summertime, Lush Life is starting to get the rotation The song with clean bandit that she was supposed to be on is getting more streams 1

Leewallace18 Posted Friday at 11:30 PM Posted Friday at 11:30 PM The fact that Words is getting more daily streams! Debuted at #61 in Norway and #14 in Sweden which is her lowest lead single debut.
Nefertiti0 Posted Saturday at 11:00 PM Posted Saturday at 11:00 PM she will give a little sneak peek of new album during tour with Tate 1

He label is useless She's not on any apple playlists, spotify playlists other than the Nordics Its also getting no airplay, it's not even top 50 on USA Pop despite her small radio tour, Its sad because it screams TIKTOK too but I thought You Love Who You Love would have smashed on tiktok I think if there's not much movement in the next two weeks they will probably move on pretty quickly, unless they get her a Tate feature on the remix

aleksanderbgu Posted Sunday at 07:36 PM Posted Sunday at 07:36 PM she said in an interview that there will be a song influenced by Brazilian funk in the album 1
Raphy23 Posted Monday at 03:38 PM Posted Monday at 03:38 PM ok! This is like a blend of kpop and 2000s pop. I can hear similarities to Tate's ioio.

Raphy23 Posted Monday at 11:03 PM Posted Monday at 11:03 PM My official review: YES. "Pretty Ugly" by Zara Larsson is crunk-pop in designer heels. Like if Do Somethin' took a shot of espresso, hit the gym, and came back wearing Balenciaga and a bad attitude. Let's unpack this: "Pretty Ugly" is giving 2025 Crunk-Pop Royalty • That beat?? It's got the clap-heavy, bass-thumping, dirty-yet-dancey energy that Lil Jon would tip his sunglasses to. It's Gwen's hollaback girl and Iggy/Charli's Fancy on crack! • The attitude? She's pretty, she's petty, and she will steal your man and then complain that he's boring. ICON. • The chorus? It's catchy AF, borderline brat-pop, but still polished like a pop queen who moonlights as a club bouncer. • Heavy beats (like 808s and snares you can stomp to). Crunk/rock/electro production wrapped in pop-girl glam. • Bratty, confident vocals with a sugar-laced sneer. With lyrics that sound like a breakup and a glow-up collided at a gas station. 10/10 4
Leewallace18 Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago Honestly think this song will be pulled soon - it's not receiving any airplay - Already almost out top 100 on Spotify in Sweden and out of the top 200 in Norway despite being #2 on their biggest playlist. It deserves to be huge and I really thought it was gonna get a huge US push but it's not even broke top 50 on pop airplay

Apple currently has her on their flagship A-List Pop playlist.
