It's interesting how people are divided. Some love the video while others don't same for the song.

That said, the song is a cute summer bop and the video gets better with each viewing.

it's a hit but not yet a smash and this is the first bread crumb from the cb3 era I think it was smart to start with a summer bop and see if this is the direction to go in. Remember, she was surprised that the songs she just had fun with took off (outside, pretty and petty, errtime) and the ones she put the most effort in where either paid dust (imaginary players) or received a cute response (safe/man of your word, that Selena ft) .

So she's going in a fun direction but outside of club and street bops she'd benefit from going more mainstream and get choruses and bridges that are less explicit.

I think I'd like to see the vibe from the snippet in continuation for the full video but the actual video hits the right marks.

I give the song B and the video a B+

i actually appreciate the street scene more than her over-CGI'd visuals in her last couple of years tbh

How is this doing?

Not as good as I hope it would. Cardi's streaming power has died a little and that's concerning going forward

the only way this would have splashed bigger is if it had been released on 8/7 with a video and momentum or even released in earlier July.

This song is a bop and a hit in the clubs and will be on radio...but she already has 50-11 of these.

She needs to break new ground. Female rap is dying out...music is not popping as much so breaking new ground is imperative.

This is good for the summer and still doing it's thing but she needs to put out music that feels like a breath of fresh air.

HOw many times is she going to clapback at z list rappers.

She's won the battle and the war so let's have some anthemic, feel good music in the future.

She's supposed to go into the studio this month and I think the fact that this song gave Mc Donald's hit for a bit is a good thing to shake things up. She'll know she has to step it up further if she wants something to serve longevity instead of hit for the moment.

BG has said they don't want anymore diss songs they want new content. I just want her to get more top 40 and stronger rhythmic play as she has urban on lock.

I look forward to her features and new songs that hopefully cover new topics.

Ah ha remains a summer bop

Rhythmic-

14 #1 rhythmic radio hits

Urban-

19 #1 urban radio hits (#1 female rappers)

Ok, let's make this her 15th rhythmic and 20th urban radio #1.

It probably will peak this month since this is giving summer and they usually move on from summer songs in late Sept/early October.

Oh I must not have logged Outside or Safe as her 15th. UPdating the stats now.

Mess at urban being slow to this vs rhythmic being so quick when it's usually the other way around.

#1 on rhythmic and urban.

Should return to top 40 on hot 100 and possibly top 30 the following week but I'm not sure if it'll repeak. We are now approaching Fall and it's very much giving summer urban bop.

It's October now so this has peaked top 30 hot 100, #1 on rhythmic and urban and will probably hold for the next month or so before falling off the hot 100 ahead of xmas songs. Gold eligible.
