Maybe a shouty chorus because that seems to be all Charli XCX does these days.

Produced by Stargate with writing credits from Benny Blanco and Charli XCX Promising. Hope it's half as good as Come And Get It.

This is such a weird single. Vocally this is slightly more convincing than 'Good For You', but the production in the chorus is kind of lackluster and she sounds a bit like Charli XCX. The melody is very, very strong though. Benny Blanco did not disappoint. So I assume she's still receiving Rihanna leftover tracks? No.

Wow. This is not good. It's really bad. Something about the way she tries to sing the chorus just doesn't work for me. It's not okay. BTW, why doesn't this have a (feat. Charli XCX) credit in the title? It's pretty obvious how much of it is her. #JusticeForCharliXCX #JusticeForBebeRexha #JusticeForAshanti #JusticeForChristinaMilian

I don't think it's necessary to say this because it was confirmed as the next single, but the clean version of the track has been added to the Top 40 playlist from PlayIGA. That said, I assume Interscope is waiting until "Good for You" is officially #1 on the CHR/Pop format this Sunday to remove it and begin the promotion with "Same Old Love".
Regarding the track, I think it's more instant than "Good for You", despite the first time I listened to it (in a LQ stream) I was torn because the chorus really sounded to Charli XCX. Anyway, I prefer "Good for You" over this for now, but I can say that this is a grower and the chorus stucks on your head after a couple of plays.

Loving this, but she sounds like she's just singing over Charlie XCX in the chorus.

This is pretty good. I don't like it as much as her last couple singles, but it's still solid. It really reminds me more of a Charli XCX song than Selena Gomez though so it's a little 'different' for her.

She sounds like complete ass on the verses. Just absolutely terrible.
That said though, this is another good song. The piano line is very catchy the Charli XCX hook works more than it doesn't I think. the production also is a nice mash between retro influences and synthpop. Can see this hitting top 5 on CHR and top 10 on the Hot 100.

Am I the only one who feels this song sounds like a Charli XCX type song? In any case, I like this song a lot and hope it does well!

I may be late on this, but why is Charli XCX singing the entire chorus on this song and getting no credit?

Let's not beat around the bush, she sounds exactly like Charli on the chorus, it's clear she probably just sang over a Charli demo and duplicated her vocal tics down to a T. I am so glad this is blowing up, as much as I love it, I was skeptical. She keeps taking these slow-burn/simmering songs to success, gives some much needed flavor at radio. It's worth noting that the lyrics on Genius, which credit the chorus to "Selena Gomez with Charli XCX," have been verified. She also did a launch week campaign with Genius, which should add further credibility to the listing.

FWIW I had no idea Charli XCX was singing (at least) "background" on this song, but I did forever think that "Selena" sounded weird/strange/like a different person on the chorus. Now it makes sense.
