I didn't like it at first, but I really enjoy it now.

This song is everything I could have wanted and more.
Finally something exciting happening in the world of pop again.

I love it! Lana's vocals are so dreamy and sexy. I like how how the song has multiple tempos. I could see this being huge. I don't think it needs a remix the way "Summertime Sadness" or "Young and Beautiful" did.

I like this. I question how successful it will be on radio but it's still a nice song.

On first listen I really like this but I don't love it yet. I'm sure it'll grow on me more though.

Can this dethrone Happy for an hour or two?

Probably by tomorrow this will dethrone Happy. It's already #3. However, #2 All Of Me is only 65% of Happy. So...

I do love this, but what keeps me from saying this is fantastic is her vocals during the chorus. I can't understand portions of the chorus at all. Yeah, for all the fuss a lot of people made about not being able to understand Sia on Chandelier, I think this is way worse. I literally can't understand the bulk of what she's saying. And she obviously made a conscious effort to do that since that's not a typical problem with her. Kind of annoying. I really love it aside from that though. It's catchy in a very unconventional way. I have no idea what radio will do with it. If sales stay strong like this I could actually see them hopping on board.

There is no way this is harder to understand than anything by Sia, especially "Chandelier." Lana has a lazy mouth, more so on this track than others, but I would haven't even known Sia was singing the word "chandelier" if it weren't the title of the song.

Well all I can argue is for how I hear them. Personally I had zero issues understanding most of Chandelier on the first listen. I mean seriously how can you not hear stuff like "123, 123, drink", "I'm gonna swing from the Chandelier", and "I'm holding on for dear life.."? It's pretty damn clear to me. On the other hand Lana may as well be speaking another language on the chorus for this. All I hear is "ooh baby, ohh baby I'm in love." But this s**t is seriously hot though. I honestly would say radio smash if you could understand her better, and it may not even matter.

Frankly, I understand Lana just fine on this song, and can't understand Sia at times on "Chandelier". But, to each their own I suppose...

I honestly would say radio smash if you could understand her better, and it may not even matter. Those are literally the only words I understood on first listen of Sia's entire song. I understand more of Lana's, but some parts are serious garbled. I don't get why. It has not been an issue for me in any of her other songs so I don't get the sudden style change. Cool to see this so high on Itunes.

This feels so much like her Lizzy Grant stuff.. I love her Lizzy Grant songs and I was sure she was gonna go that direction again when she talked about the new album last year. So excited for the groovy songs to come. Kill Kill and Put Me In A Movie remain flawless and some of her best recordings ever.

This song is just ... Eh, I guess I expected more from the lead single of Lana's sophomore album. I mean, after great singles such as "Video Games", "Blue Jeans", "Born to Die", "Summertime Sadness", "Ride", this one isn't even measuring up to the album tracks from the debut album. I like the production, but the song really isn't one of Lana's best.

This feels so much like her Lizzy Grant stuff.. That and it also reminds me of Tori Amos' earlier work. I enjoy Tori's music from that period so it's nice to have something like that. I'm impressed with this song's position on iTunes. #3 already?!!?! It's great that it has started off so strong! The news of the single release has been trending on Twitter and Facebook today. y'all liked this? LMAO You know you liked and it will be on repeat very soon. It's quite the earworm.

None of those songs are on iTunes for some reason....but Put It In A Movie and Kill Kill are both AMAZING songs!!!!

It took a sick day to get the motivation to check this out, I think I've finally discovered the meaning of love I discovered this bitch late but there is a certain, undeniable vibe and mood that is created and you always feel what she is singing. She may not blow you away vocally but she impresses in how she knows how to use her voice. I shall stay perched in stan mode for the foreseeable future>

I really like on the first couple of listens and there's still room to grow. The song was probably not made w/ radio in but I hope that this can gain some traction on radio and do so w/o a radio mix. I would rather not have her team/label make a habit of relying dance mixes to score a radio hit.

I'm terrible at calling a hit because I'm so out of the pop loop anymore, but I could see this being the random, one-off wild card hit of the summer. Wouldn't surprise me one bit after the public response to this.
I hope if this ever gets a proper push, she don't remix it.

Don't dislike it, so that's a good sign. I've never been a fan of Lana, but if this grows on me, it could be a sign of a great future for her on my chart!
