This is a Tropical House jam. IMO this is his We Found Love to me. Striking hot while this sound is the new "trend" that is just settling to radio. This is my favorite first single from him. I can't wait to mix this in with some Samuel and Kygo remixes.

It definitely lacks something. But I need to hear it again.

SMASH! A catchy midtempo is where he does best and this exemplifies that well. This also sounds decidedly more mature than his 2012 era (which showcased major growth in its own right). This is a Tropical House jam. IMO this is his We Found Love to me. Striking hot while this sound is the new "trend" that is just settling to radio. This x10. Trop house may have been a big thing for more than a minute already, but Justin is the first major act to sell it to the masses. He pulls it off really well so he'll get the credit!

That tick tock of a clock is annoying. The song does nothing until two minutes in and then it is nothing special. It's ok but I wouldn't buy it.

It's alright. Reminds me of a Chris Brown song he'd make his 3rd single.
Sounds like "Dance We're Making Love" by Ciara.
It will undoubtedly smash.

It's not my favorite song from him. It isn't bad, and it's just okay, but I don't hear anything that really screams smash to me.

It's okay...definitely more tolerable than the annoying doo doo dooo dooooo song, but I agree with the posters above it's missing something. It kinda falls flat.

I like it! Justin's vocals are really nice. The production is chill and laid back. It feels like it should have come out earlier in the Summer.
I would love to hear an acoustic/stripped version of this later on. This is begging for a club remix by David Morales or Eric Kupper as their respective styles would go well with this song.

Much better in full but I still like Where Are U Now more than this. I can't imagine it not doing well though but I feel like the rest of the album will be much stronger.

Not as great as Song of the Decade™ "As Long as You Love Me" but I'm still really liking this.

Sounds nice. This is going to end up being the biggest comeback of the year as this becomes a major hit.

This kind of goes nowhere. It's nice and chill, but this would flop hard if released by most. Not sure it will do that hot after the initial rush. It's certainly no Where Are U Now.

I love this, but could've been more eventful, especially around the chorus. A hooky drop will work perfectly here.

I like how there isn't that "Drop". Sometimes it's not needed. This song reminds me of that Waves song that finally gained some mainstream steam a few months ago.
