The shade to Tarrus Riley in AllAccess.Finally! "Powerful" has been doing really well in the international markets, especially in Oceania where it reached the Top 20 in Australia and New Zealand, so it was a matter of time for this to be pushed in the States.

Probably my least favorite Ellie Goulding collab. :/

This song is just ok for me. It's pleasant, but uneventful.

Great song! Even though this sadly lacks the world music/ electronic style of your typical Major Lazer track, it's just a brilliant pop song. I think coming off of "Lean On," being as catchy as it is, and having a recognizable name as the feature will all propel this into hit territory. I don't even mind Ellie's muppet voice on it! Under Cool New Music, though credited as Major Lazer & Ellie Goulding Post "Love Me Like You Do" Ellie wants to break out of that sporadic-hit-wonder box and collect her own dues now. Can't say I blame her, to be fair. The shade to Tarrus Riley in AllAccess.The new Bebe Rexha

I'm not really feeling this either. Perhaps this could grow on me, but I'm doubtful.

Oh, I really like this! But then, I like Ellie, and most things obvious but catchy. It could have been more adventurous but I think this may do well. It's also a good way for Ellie to not let public familiarity with her via LMLYD disappear completely before she releases her own album (hopefully) later this year.

When I first heard this 2 weeks ago, I didn't really like it, but now it's starting to grow on me. I don't know how it's going to perform in the US though. "Lean On" stood out because it was eclectic for pop radio and catchy at the same time imo. "Powerful" is catchy, but I could see it getting lost in the shuffle. I hope it does well but my expectations aren't too high (right now I think this will stall in the 20s on pop), so I'll be happy if it reaches top 20 on CHR.

Wasn't a fan of this song initially (Lean On still a lot better) but it's definitely grown on me

I like this. Following Lean On, I don't see why this wouldn't go top 20

The track has been added to the Top 40 playlist from PlayIGA and the version posted there is different to the album one, especially the latter part where Ellie's vocals are more notorious and they are over Tarrus's.
Regarding the inclusion from PlayIGA, I assume this is because Ellie is under their roster, while Major Lazer isn't, so it reminds me when Interscope handled part most of the promotion for "I Need Your Love" back in 2013 and it was even labeled as the follow-up single of "Lights". Also, this could may be the reason why the original video of that track was shelved, despite it leaked four months ago.

Um. This is good. This is a hit especially coming off Lean on and in the more laid back fall. Before I heard it and read the comments I expected to hate it. lol

I like this as well, though it's not the best track on the album.
I hope "Be Together" gets released as a single after this.

Christ, the radio edit is abysmal WTF. Like, this is the worst butchering I think I've ever heard. At least maybe that means this'll flop and we'll get Ellie's lead sooner...

It took me awhile before I got into all these vocal inflections, but now I really appreciate it.
