This is out in full. Such a hot tropical jam!!! Best song I've heard off this project so far.
It was turned down by Rihanna apparently.

I also agree with this being the best cut so far.

I wish the production was a bit stronger at points, but other than that I love it!

Its the best of the songs from This Is Acting so far, but that's not saying much IMO. All of them have a distinct demo/reject feel to them.

My favorite song from the new album so far! Rihanna should have cut this. This is the type of sound she should be doing.

#89 on iTunes. Not as powerful as Elastic Heart, but I would very happy to see this as single #2

I like it, but it's not my favorite from the album so far.

Tbh it sounds more like a Shakira track to me. Especially the backing vocals in the chorus.

This is easily the worst thing Sia has ever done. It's beneath her and tacky as fuck so yeah, it should have gone to Rihanna...on her debut album.

as well as a new version of the song! No idea why, but this immediately gives me the notion that it's going to have a new Fetty Wap verse. lol

Really the only song from the album that I liked, from what I listened to.

The rap is actually quite annoying. If it was just the bridge I wouldn't mind, but everywhere else, he sounds loud and out of place. The only other difference I could hear was that it may be faster, so I'll just edit the original for myself as I like how it sounds at that speed

RCA says this is going for pop airplay now.

Yay! Hopefully stations play the original more. Hope this can at least match Elastic Heart on CHR!

The only song on the album that wasn't a reject was "One Million Bullets". This (and many others) was rejected by Rihanna.

Can't stand the Sean Paul addition, I'll stick to the original. I hope this finds some success for her, it's just so fun and free.

Sean Paul adds absolutely nothing to this song. I could understand if he'd had some hits in the past few years, but not even that.

I personally love this. I think the remix adds a certain oomph that is needed to make it a hit. Don't get me wrong though, I still love the original better regardless.
Can this just SMASH? PLEASE MUSIC GODS! :'(

The audacity of putting two of the most unintelligible artists on the same song.

I don't generally like her own songs, but this is my favorite by her since "Breathe Me". I totally understand why Rihanna rejected this, but it's a hit record.
