Honestly those at least go somewhere. Agreed they're not his best but they're better than a "chorus" singing "we belong together" 4x, with no melody.

"Going somewhere" doesn't mean it's necessarily better though. Harry's House was too "safe" imo with the song, aesthetic, singles, etc. This feels more freeing from a creative standpoint, not every song needs a melody to be great

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

I literally said to myself earlier I hope Tame Impala is involved some how in this project. I'd love him to remix Aperture

Yeah, I mean I don't mind this as an intro to the album, it's a very driving home at the end of a day with the windows down kind of song. But it's not lead single-worthy imo.

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

Pop boys do it differently than pop girls 🤷🏽‍♂️

Adele could pull this song off

It reminds me of RUFUS DU SOL, Jamie xx and Tame Impala. I ******* love it!

Yeah I still like this but I don't have the urge to listen to it (and I overplayed all his past 3 lead singles, which all felt timeless). Still looking forward to the album.

He's so hot with that stache! I finally got into this guy. lol Song is kind of infectious but still not hooked on it.

aurkay so i've listened and it's good but it's def not geepee friendly. takes too long to kick in and not really euphoric or vibey enough

what the hell are those lyrics though

The music video is just so bad you can tell he had a specific vision for this but completely failed to execute it

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.

I don't think even autoplay could work. The intro is too long and the GP will just skip

I won't stray from it
I don't know these spaces
Time won't wait on me
I wanna know what safe is

It's alright, but I was expecting more. Overall, pretty meh.

completely sold on this. excellence!!!

I applaud the risks, it reminds me more of the boldness of his first album. At least he hasn't gone deeper into the generic and soulless music of his last album.

Damn this song is really polarising...... Everybody has a different reaction

It's growing on me. I like it more and more every time I listen to it. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album!

this is fantastic!

I can't stop listening, it's such a vibe

The UK numbers are huge. 13.2m unfiltered is great. Idc what happens now since no one appreciated Lights Up on release and look what happened

The „weeee belong together" hook has been stuck in my head all day long. Glad it's doing well.

Sounds like an unfinished Coldplay x Calvin Harris demo

It seems like it will have a big fall tomorrow. But at least the US and UK #1's should be safe

Not this pacing for 6M day 2

This deserved some euphoric vocals, they would have given the production justice. He sounds too drowned here, while in Lights Up and As It Was his voice shines and sounds kinda angelic.
