Xtina's lotus is slated to rise again with the help of Nile Rodgers upon next week's release of the soundtrack for Netflix's The Get Down, where this is included.

This is the sound I love from her! A little disco, R&B, and hip-hop mixed together.

I really like this, the throwback style really does suit her so perfectly.
The vocals are good, and her tone is pretty great as well.
Between this and "Changed" she's heading in the right direction with a more restrained approach and releasing material that suits her as an artist.
Hopefully she'll keep moving in this direction, because she still has so much potential.

Yeah, this isn't game changing (wouldn't expect that from a soundtrack song) but it's not bad at all. And "not bad" from Xtina is a step in the right direction. If she could further explore this sound and really nail it, she'd win over a lot of people.

It's nice to hear someone sing a Sia song without sounding like they're mimicking her. I can hear that it's her now that it's been pointed out but wouldn't have realized it without being told.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!
I'm super excited because this trumps 90% of the material on Lotus. This is a great representation of the Disco aspect of the soundtrack and series. I can hear Cadillac from Miguel being a single too along with Losing Your Mind from Raury & Jaden Smith.

They are using this in about 75% of the promotional material for the show. I've seen tweets from The Get Down mentioning her, television commercials with this being the sole featured song, and on-line ads as well.

This is awesome. But I can't see it becoming a hit, it looks like a song with a quick burn rate

A bit too retro for 2016's radio landscape. But it would sound fresh mixed in for that reason.

Well, even though I don't think this will be a big hit, I don't see anything wrong with giving this full single treatment. It'd be a nice way to put her name out there again and build some kind of anticipation for her actual lead single whenever it comes out.

So where's the adds date? How long after the premiere of this show are they going to wait to promote it?

I like this, but doubt it will do anything. But, at this point, I just want her releasing not terrible music. I have zero expectations for a mainstream return lol. This sounds mean, but comes from a place of love.

I thought for a second when I heard this that it was a little to retro for me. By the second listen and the chorus really hit me and I was hooked.
