Yeah for some reason I'm still not worried. Still too early, song is too good, selling too well, with someone very popular right now.

I think her duet with Charlie Puth is hurting this song. Having two songs charting at the same time is going to make it harder for one of the songs to catch on.

Yeah, what is up with radio not advancing this? It's doing way way better than most of the other stuff hanging out in the sub-35 range despite being a fourth single. It's already a massive #1 hit in Australia to boot. Frankly she got jobbed on airplay with DFH too, considering the sales. I thought radio supported new breakout stars to the hilt.
I'm not even a huge fan, but I like this track and I know someday this may happen to one of my faves.

I certainly wouldn't yet write this off. People really enjoy Meghan Trainor, people really enjoy John Legend, and this is a good song.
But is its slow/underwhelming performance really shocking? This isn't overtly radio-friendly based on pop standards; it's just a pleasant, AC-leaning ballad.
It made sense to release as a single because a) it's an appealing collaboration b) they sound very good c) it's a nice change of pace from Meghan's last three singles and d) the sales have been decent.
But if you listened to the album in a vacuum and were asked to pick the most pop radio-friendly songs, I can't imagine this even registering. Certainly not over Walkashame, Title or 3AM. The appeal here is the variety of the sound, not the sound itself.

Hell, OutKast had two number ones back-to-back like that. Even Ellie Goulding did fine with it earlier this year. And the Charlie Puth song isn't exactly flying up the charts.

Maybe Pop has simply lost interest in Meghan. I hope not because fans sure aren't.

^^^ I genuinely don't think that's the case. It's just fourth single/ballad stuff.
Meghan has had overall terrific radio support. Remember people like Selena, Demi, Miley, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift. they all had some ups and downs before becoming pop radio mainstays. Tori Kelly hasn't even broken through yet. Meghan got even better radio support than Sam Smith.
Meghan's debut single from her second album (if it's good) will be very well received.
Definitely don't underestimate the level of breakthrough Meghan had. This is definitely extremely rare, and I'm sure this song will still do something and go gold/platinum when all is said and done.
She's a massive success.

This is doing pretty well on my local rhythmic station, usually makes its rush hour countdowns

John looks so good in the video. Hopefully pop will give it decent spins now/soon.

Pretty good video. I don't know if the video will be enough to make this song move faster up the chart or not.

it's awesome that her album continues to sell very well, but I feel like her radio momentum is totally gone at this point. This song is alright, just ok to me.

For a fourth single this isn't struggling and I think it will be a big hit, ditto for her duet with Charlie Pugh, I'm on board for both artists to have great careers because they have real talent.
Also would love a fifth single form title. Bang dem sticks old be her next big hit

She's coming off a single that performed disappointingly and that faced a (minor) backlash. Plus releasing a ballad in the summer was a risk (even though the song is good). It could still pick up, but I think they should have saved this for fall/winter and gone with Walkashame or Title (my top pick would be Mr. Almost but it's a bonus track) for the summer.

In my opinion a song that is num.38 on ITunes and has under 10 mill AI should be given more of a chance! I know it's Summer and people think upbeat music but apparently some people aren't.
