Did I just purchase my first Ariana song? Yes I did! This is excellent. God damn this week has been heaven for new music. I'm on overload.

I don't get when people say X song should have been the lead single over Y song. It seems pretty logical to me - you play a good card to start off with, but you don't play your best card. Put the best song out first and what follows will probably be a disappointment.

Every song she's release (including "Focus") has been amazing. This song is fantastic.

She can say DW was her lead single. It was only her lead single when "Focus" hit a wall and no one liked it but her stan's. Lol

There are elements of this song I like and elements of it that are just meh. That bridge is a tad average. I like she has carved a niche market of cute. Hardly any of her songs are bad nor blow me away. Cute! I never cringe at her songs like say basic contemporary Taylor Swift or Katy Perry and for that I'm thankful and grateful to little miss ariane.

After sleeping on this, I like it much more. The chorus is still missing something, but her delivery is ace.

Hot damn this is great. This might turn into my favorite from her, which currently stands as "Love Me Harder".

This is decent, her best is still "One Last Time" for me, by miles.

Wow, after reading the comments in here I got really excited.
I don't like this. I'll stick with DW for my summer jam.

I seriously cannot get enough of this song! I think this might be a serious contender for Song of the Summer '16.

Well, I like this, but I like DW a lot more. I can see this becoming one of my favorite songs from her, but for now, DW is the better song.

Praying that the music video for this is EPIC! Also, I hope this is impacting when the album comes out, would do some great wonders and give it an epic start on the Hot 100.

Not sure why this wasn't released earlier tbh. I think DW was lead cause titular track + showcasing the album's more mature theme & sound compared to her last 2 albums + progression in sound. Be Alright probably came cause she performed it at SNL and snippets flew around long before release so it'd make sense to put it out. Let Me Love You came next cause snippets of it being found as well I guess And this came now, maybe cause good things come to those who wait + putting out the better song first, may make a great deal of hype for the album, but might make all the following songs feel disappointing in comparison.

This is selling weakly in comparison to the other songs she's dropped so far this era. Didn't the rest all reach at least the Top 5 on iTunes? This is already dark red without even hitting the Top 10 at all.

This is already dark red without even hitting the Top 10 at all. None of the other songs faced the kind of competition 'Into You' is, what with Beyoncé et al saturating the top 10. This peaked at 11 and started falling after about a day, which is about what happened with all the other instant grats. They just didn't have a stacked chart to deal with.

Hmm, I guess I'm in the minority. I liked both Focus and Dangerous Woman with more immediacy than this. Still hope it does well for her.

The Upper Hand is a troublemaker I guess in that reality, h00d would be a somebody if he "liked" Ariana.

No that's Olly. And "Into You" better rise on iTunes now. Can't wait to see a live performance.

I'm not a big fan of this. There's something about Max Martin's productions lately which annoy me. He's always been very calculated in crafting them, but it comes across so blatantly here.

This so much better than Focus and even better than DW, her vocals sound very good here
