... in the sense that both songs are excellent, yes.

To each their own

sounds too much like Taylor and Gracie . too much whispering.

This really is her Aperture

Aperture is actually a bop though

I hope she tells a story with the single choices and the album track sequence, from honeymoon phase to tragic breakup

This is so awful omg

Literally the first 10 seconds are great

Then she does............ that

wtf is this? I'm listening rn.......remember when I said it would be so funny if the song flops lmao

It gives me the same sense as many Taylor songs where it takes a few listens to hook you but then once it does you're stuck

still on repeat for me

I want to love this but.. maybe it'll grow on me

I've loved all of olivia's previous efforts and this one falls kinda flat for me...

hoping either the next single will connect with me better or this song grows.

You speak from my heart i was so hyped by the snippet and so let down by the melody as soon as the intro stopped & she started singing - maybe i shouldn't have listened to the snippet so much, it really isn't a bad song & i love her so much but i had a chronical different vision of how the song would sound and that made me instantly not feeling it... also it get's better with every listening...

f*ck it. f*ck you stupid apple music, I caved and I'm listening now lol

I will give her a shout out for actually having a bridge, since they have all but disappeared

so far this is reminding me of Sky Ferreira's music for some reason lol… a bit Ain't Your Right, huh?

I really like this. Don't see how it'd be divisive so the reception in here is surprising me

Ok, enchanted0. if only all popstars could write lyrics as cerebral as WOOD or CANCELLED!

Enchanted is a solo written song by Taylor Swift that was tucked away in a corner of the album, only to go viral 12 years later through the GP simply it's that good. I doubt Ms. Olivia will have a similar moment over time if the rest of the new album serves this.

Btw why the fans of Abra oh na na chanteuse talking about the maturity of lyrics always so obtuse. never change

the way it's so obvious that Olivia was inspired by The Cure/Robert Smith, which she explicitly mentions in the song, yet everyone here is yapping about Taylor, Chappell, and Gracie

Please listen to other artists, I beg y'all

I see this performing similar to Vampire.

It's refreshing in her discog it's exactly what I'm expecting and more it's giving cutesy demure girlie rendition of a Chappel Roan song without drag queen makeup

i love how im downvoted like its my fault.

i took better headphones for this, its still not vampire, but ok

Clearly the inspiration she was trying to convey didn't land

It's just the Swifties hating on Olivia because she doesn't kiss Taylor's ass anymore.

i love abba moment after chorus

If there's one saving grace of this song for me it's the bridge to the end. She continues to have the best bridges in mainstream music imo

I was going to say. Listening to this made me rewatch her performances with Robert Smith at Glastonbury. It's definitely in the same vein as that sound.

Heartstopper/Love Simon-esque filter.

you see there is some truth to this… I used to love this kinda 80s inspired indie bop but smth abt the legacy of those shows has tarnished this sound a bit for me- I'm gonna try and look past this.

Swifties (and whatever Sabrina fans call themselves) brigading this thread with any doubts this is a great song that has massive hit potential.

They are threatened on behalf of women who will never know their name. It's not about music for them, pay no mind.

in the real word this is not decisive, it's such a great ******* song.
