It's obvious that he's gonna have a strong debut, it's like when Taylor released Me!, in the end it's the same situation even his own fans didn't like the song.

The only thing that can save that trash now is that classic Columbia payola + autoplay boost we all know they pull.

You should go stream Eyes Closed because it's a total flop despite being a collab.

I can see them fuming already...

He's debuting around 18M tops

The video is pretty cool song sounds like what someone who thinks they knew what a rave is but theyve never actually been to one

People pretending that anything above 10M is "bad numbers"

Plus this will be a full 24 hours no? Most Friday releases are only like 20 hours or something like that. This probably won't do less than 20 million if I'm hearing this correctly lol

I'm already satisfied with it exceeding 10m. This is a risky, 5 minute track and it's nowhere near as commercial as As It Was was. Any song would've had a tough time matching AIW's phenomenon but both songs are great in their own ways. From how he's spoken in interviews for this release, it's not about chart value, it's about the live experience.

Was this released before the Hot 100 cutoff? i.e. is it not debuting at #1?

Hot Take: Djo wouldve sounded better on Aperture

Djo would be a great fit for the song.

But Harry does a good job as well, love the song.

Next week is gonna be so much fun 😂😂😂

Even if the numbers aren't as high as As It Was, if it's done 10M already that's still pretty good considering it has 0 replay value.

He probably would've done like 20M first day if the song wasn't so long and actually catchy.

Also low key think that while As It Was was incredible, it ended up eating up the entire era. No other singles could breathe because of it. Late Night Talking was a cute hit but it didn't reach its potential bc of AIW. I would've loved a big debut like AIW but a more "normal" #1 run, but if he can have several hits even if they're not as massive as AIW, I think it'll do better for the longevity of the project.

wait the most similar 2025 hit to this is Tate's Revolving Door.

it's cute after a few more listens, but still my least favorite lead from him. super interested in seeing the direction the album takes!

No. Yall love and dissect her lyrics (which is why so many of you actually admitted to hating Showgirl). Yall can't love and dissect music because there's nothing to love and dissect in a collection of Nokia ringtones.

Being this pretentious over Harry Styles will always be a kii

Sorry I'm a Spotify girlie. Is this in additional to the current 2 million with the music video?

Either way, this is smashing smashing

No. It was just the platform numbers I think the numbers are great.

Love how you can't defend this so you resort to ad hominem

Nobody's being pretentious. It's kinda funny that you're acting like I need to stan Brian Eno on ATRL to be happy to have some musical evolution by an artist I support. Pretty telling that you think wanting an artist to put some effort into their music is "pretentious"

Just listened the chorus of the song on twitter. A snippet with the vid
The production is really really hot (I live for that type of techno-acid house thing) and i enjoyed the song melody. Subdued but danceable
Not a big fan of the video cause i dont like the fashion but the moves were really cool. I can see tiktok turning the dance viral if he's lucky
The snippet of the video looks very dark and lately harry been giving a sad vibe. So it works lol
Need to listen the whole song....
Im not a fan of him but it was not bad for a male artist*

A very fun video! Love it! And the song is still spetacular imo.

I'm goona risk to say that this video is actually one of my favorites from these past years tbh. The videos nowadays are so desperate to create tiktok trends... they are boring and forced as fück. I don't even know if artist are gonna do videos now, with billboard excluding Youtube views, so Harry's new video feels even fresher.

I'm very hyped for his new album.

Edit:

Reading some of the posts here makes me question if some of you can really apreaciate something without thinking if it's gonna be a huge hit, if it's gonna do huge numbers on the debut, if it's gonna create some tiktok virals... You live for the numbers only! That's so embarassing lol. Have you tried to have fun without entering on a stan war?

to quote Kimbra, "honey that hourglass got me thinking: you ain't no friend of mine/we were moving so fast and the sand was sinking: why not keep chasing time?"

I f*cking love this song lemme finally watch the music video in a sec

Jesus I was thinking 4 million would be its 24 hours numbers. Cause it was recently just 2.5 million. Somehow it jumped to about 3.4 million now

maybe 5 or 5.5 is more realistic cause we still have over 12 hours.

Can he flop so we can move on to Taylor and other girls?

This will be a hit in Aus, it sounds like Tame Impala lol. Very Aussie radio. I like it

But not sure about elsewhere. Not a very accessible song for an artist of his calibre

This went nowhere. What a snooze. If a pop girl released this no one here would be stanning.

As if there is a need to move on to Taylor and her awful album that no one outside the swifties wants to hear

OT: I was not expecting much from Harry, but this is really good, it won't be a smash hit tho
