"getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it" Trip? What, you tripped, slipped and fell on his dick? Blowing people is sooooo trippyyyyy Whenever I listen to this song now, I just think of Lorde grabbing someone's cock and giving it a nasty licking. I hate you for that.

Getting caught's half of the trip though, isn't it?Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeahAnd my boys trip me up with their heads again, loving themI'm just sayin! Not all of her songs can be about her staying grounded while being famous -- though I'll admit there are elements of that in this song too. 1. "Getting caught" = being signed to a label 2. I've already explained what that means. That's the whole meaning of the song in one line. 3. Her friends, which are mostly boys as we know from several interviews, are doing crazy s**t and are confused to do with their friend becoming a star, which throws her off, but she loves them anyway This song is not about sex. Here, try this. And I've never heard "talk it up" referring to oral sex. Talking usually isn't going on during that action, lol. I'm just having fun. Still, could be though...

Out of the Top 200 (to like 206). I mean I know this one could struggle with sales due to the fact that hundreds of thousands of people bought it as a supplemental piece to "Royals" last summer, but you'd think the NEW Lorde song, given how big she got, would be making waves faster than this.

Obvious single choice is obvious. Though, to be honest, I'm worried about this one. I mean, it's been around for a while. It's not like when the album came out, this was just another album track. "Tennis Court" has to be around 750k or so in sales already. Obviously, that didn't stop "Set Fire to the Rain," so hopefully this follows suit with that one. *worrying intensifies*

Ever since it was first released, I've always thought a few lines in the song allude to her performing oral sex.

Lorde is a one trick pony. Just heard this for the first time and it sounds just like Royals and Team. While I don't own Pure Heroine, she was coming off as a Teenage Dream kinda era celebrity. But this song is simply just a rehash. Nothing new, nothing noteworthy. Don't know why everyone thinks this is a smash. It's boring, just like Miley's 3rd single was.

Even if this song goes out as a flop (and while I don't know that it will, it's becoming clear this probably won't be a bona fide smash), Lorde's career is in great shape. Her debut produced two legitimate hit singles, and the next album will be huge no matter what and will almost surely produce a hit single no matter what. Plus, it seems a foregone conclusion that she'll have a spot on Taylor Swift's next album, which will also keep her star lit. I mean, obviously she's going to have to evolve as a songwriter--and show more variety and more pop sensibility--but assume she can do that, she'll be fine.

She's like irrelevant now, I don't hear anyone talking about her and her album is plummeting in sales. I'm hoping she releases a new album this year to keep momentum up

Why isn't this flying up the charts? I feel like changing of singles and spontaneous adds date affected this one.

I still think that Team and Royals are still in too heavy of rotation for this to really take off. Team has just now left the Top 20 with Recurrents added, Royals has just left the Top 40.

It's rocketing up Alt. I thought it would be the other way around.

This isnt as strong as the previous two imo. I like it, but I don't think its third single smash material (maybe 4th or 5th). I would have gone with Glory and Gore or Buzzcut Season for a risky but awesome single choice.

I wouldn't say she's plummeting at all. She's holding up better than 95% of any album released the past couple of years!

The callout's in, the callout's in, the callout's in... And it's not great. Bottom 10 for Positive, and the 11th highest Negative.
