I liked "Focus" better, but this sounds like a grower.

I'm in love
However I was listening to 'Focus' 24/7 for 3 days and now I know that despite being catchy, it is a kinda bad song

It's a good track and for once she is enunciating.
EDIT: Not sure if it's a hit single though. The chorus doesn't really stick

It's OK. Better than Focus. Will it be a huge hit? No. But I am glad she's doing something different. I can see this being a hit

BEST BDAY PRESENT EVER.. (well not ever still waiting on getting Nick Jonas in bed) ... but I think this is the right direction for her; way more mature and no so overtly pop... I think the floppage of Focus pushed her to do something different, and I think she took more control of the project (with firing Scooter) and I hope it pays off.
EDIT: #1 on iTunes! Focus didn't reach #1 right, how high did it get?

It reminds me of Pillowtalk actually. Not sure about it, seems a little try-hard, just like Zayn's song.

I think someone on her team is trying to Sabotage her career with all these subpar songs. Maybe it is a grower.

Is this a rejected Spectre theme song?
It's a little plodding for my tastes... But it's miles better than "Focus" so there's that.

I have to say that this is way better than "Focus" and that this is very catchy. Now, I wouldn't be so surprised if this manages to get Top 10 on CHR.
I don't think it sounds like a #1 hit, but it's still good and different sounding for her.

How common is it for the lead single to also be the title of the album?

Stanning out. The production is so ace, especially on good headphones. I played 4 times in a row just now. So sexy, which is the first time I have ever felt that way about Ariana. I can't wait for the performance and this album. I know it will be her best thus far.

It's definitely different for her. I wasn't sure from the snippet how catchy it was, but hearing the full song, I like it.
I think it's a hit, though probably not a mega-hit and more of a grower. Which means, everybody who wants Ari to have a chance at getting her first Billboard #1 should buy it NOW this first week at iTunes!!! This week is probably going to be her only chance for this song.

MUCH better than Focus. Not bad at all after the first listen.
Imo, this might be her last chance to redeem herself and it depends on how well she goes from there with the next album. Is she finally maturing her music or will we be seeing another album with songs all over the place in terms of musical style? If she's gonna stay in the game, she needs to pick a main style of music and stick with it.

It's so frustrating that she can't get it right with this first single. This is such a cheap "Earned It" rehash. The production sounds so cheesy and the way she keeps going up at the end of every third line is like nails on a chalkboard. Her voice isn't big enough or convincing enough for this.

It's way better than Focus, but that's hardly an achievement.
