Didn't listen to the whole thing but it sounds pretty decent. This could do better than Cups did (just using that as a comparison since both are from Pitch Perfect and featuring actress/singers.)

Wait! Why is her name so familiar? Who is she? She was in Pitch Perfect, and iirc the Bad Blood video #74 on iTunes

Very young, Oscar-nominated actresses whose careers seem to have paralleled each other's in film. The two could easily swap each other out in all their other film roles and I never would have noticed.

Thanks filling me in, guys. Now I remember her :) Anyway, I agree that this sounds like Tove Lo meets an Ariana Grande song. I have to say though, it also reminds me of plenty of nice-but-generic dancepop songs from recent years that fizzled out, like Cash Cash/Bebe Rexha "Take Me Home" and Nikki Williams "Glowing In The Dark." So I could see it going either way, but with the iHeartRadio early support and the Taylor connection, it does have a pretty good edge. I really like it honestly! Gunning for the dirty old perv angle and the pretween empowerment angles simultaneously. Get it gurl I mean some of the lyrics are so similar to T-Boz's solo classic "Touch Myself" that it's difficult for me to imagine anything else. "I'm gonna love me so hard til it hurts"

I really like this. Her voice is nothing special, but she sells it.

This song is more cringe-worthy than her performance in Pitch Perfect 2.

By now you should know that Pop radio is always in search of the NEXT thing. They're not going to jump on a single by someone they've likely written off already due to numerous flops since her last smash.

It's this month's On the Verge song. Just heard it on the radio a few minutes ago. Sounds so good! Watch out Anna Kendrick & Jennifer Lawrence, there's a new Oscar nominee getting a Pop hit!

Stay with me and Fancy were selling really well before putting a feet on the charts. From the list Habits and Rather be really benefited of the deal, but the deal started when both song were on the chart for weeks and not at the beginning of their chart run
