I think that might be the best vocals I've heard from Tove Lo to date. She sounded amazing. Usually her vocals on TV have been good, but not great, but this was outstanding.
ETA: Oh, and Nick sounded good too lol

Whoever came up with the line "cause space was just a word made up by someone who's afraid to get too close" deserves a gold medal. That single line keeps me going. Makes up for the last line of the chorus that sounds like they couldn't think of a word to rhyme with close so they just said it a bunch of times.

This is definitely not close enough to where it should be. But hey, this is back up to #29 on the Hot 100 this week.

I think this is doing pretty well thus far.
"Jealous" and "Chains" took their time to peak, and "Levels" didn't even hit the Top 40, so he's coming off an underperforming single. Plus, Tove Lo is coming off a mess of the last era with "Timebomb" / "Moments" where the latter didn't do anything when it did get released.

I'm apprehensive about this one. Doesn't really scream hit to me. It's doing way better than I would've expected, considering. But, like Levels before it, there's a good chance radio will suddenly bail on it after this initial label push.

It seems like a strange pick for a first single to me. Maybe if he had been on it with somebody with a bigger name at pop than Tove Lo.

There's this apparent united front among pop stars lately to bring R&B back... I don't think it's a coincidence. So maybe it's because of it's R&B leanings, but this doesn't feel like a solid lead single for me right now. It feels off. And I don't totally believe or feel his vocals on this, either. I'm happy for it's success so far though. Pop radio seems to be slowing down - which I already mentioned will potentially be it's downfall.
Makes it interesting to watch songs like this on the daily to see what happens.

R&B leanings? Blake Shelton probably has songs that are more R&B than this.

This song has gradually grown on me. I don't know if it'll become one of my favorites of 2016, but I do like it more now than I did when I first heard it.

It's actually criminal how 'Levels' did better than this is doing.

I'm actually shocked that this is already in danger of free falling. It's only been out for a month, right? Hopefully there's still a trick or two in store because A.) this is a great pop song and B.) Nick is in trouble if his lead flops this easily.

I wanted to like this, but it still hasn't clicked with me. I think its his voice/the way he sings. It always sounds like there's some extra saliva in his mouth or something. I also wish he'd do something a little more fun/upbeat/colorful. With the exception of Levels, all of his singles & videos have been moody/dark, I'd like to see him loosen up and do something more summery.

I don't get why this is struggling. It has been having good sales and is pretty popular right now. I'm curious to see the callout scores for this when it comes out.
