A$AP Rocky never adds anything for me on a lot of features Such as Tinashe's Pretend & Selena's Good For You He's just there and I'm like, get the fuck out I'm only here for Tinashe, Selena, and Alicia

I like the melody and the production....but the lyrics are cringeworthy and corny.

I believe this is holding better on iTunes than "In Common" right now.

Those lyrics I can't believe they are fronting the album with this after the wonderful In Common...

Is "In Common" even on the album or nah? Supposedly just a bonus track on the deluxe.

Agreed. No way in HELL was the original plan to relegate a song so on-trend and generally pretty well-received (at least critically)to the bowels of Deluxe Edition bonus tracks. Y'all know if the song performed well, that wouldn't have happened. So dumb.

Finally had a chance to listen to this and I think it's great!
Some of y'all in this thread had me thinking it was a snoozefest like "We Are Here," but the production and soundscapes are amazing! The whole vibe of the song give me flashback to 2001/Alicia's early days while sounding like a 2016 production. I hope it does all the things "In Common" couldn't.

I really LOVE the production and this is surprisingly catchy. I think the topic isnt as relateable as most "love" songs, but it should be interesting to see if it catches on.

I think the song is cute and at l least it's not a typical love song. Imo the only "weird" and unnecessary part on the lyrics is "I know it started with a little drama, I hate you had to read it in the paper" because it's too personal.

I'm honestly in love with this song. It is really good sing along song for her.

Imo the only "weird" and unnecessary part on the lyrics is "I know it started with a little drama, I hate you had to read it in the paper" because it's too personal. I actually like that though. Such a song topic is personal by nature, so the lyrics should reflect that. It sort of reminds me of Piece By Piece (the album version) by Kelly Clarkson, in that it's a surprisingly upbeat song about family dynamics rather than your typical love/breakup song. PxP had to have a ballad-driven viral moment to take off though, and only did well on AC and HAC. I feel those are the two formats where Blended Family would also be best suited, both because of the sound and the subject matter. I don't really see UAC audiences gravitating to it, and it almost certainly won't go anywhere on urban.

I'm not sure it wouldn't do a little damage on Urban. I know A$AP is not blowing up the charts but he is still a pretty well-respected rapper. Anyway, this song has grown on me a LOT just hearing the clip on iTunes after hearing the full version and disliking it. It's very laid-back, breezy, and soulful, in a boho chic way. I dig.

Both versions of the track (the solo and the one featuring A$AP Rocky) go for Rhythmic adds on November 15 according to AllAccess.

Yes. The solo version (3:14 min.) is available to listen and download on AllAccess. A$AP Rocky's verse is cut in the bridge and it's replaced by a short instrumental of the chords which is used during his part.

I like the video, and the song is growing on me. It's really mature of her to write and release something like this. I still don't think the sound currently fits any format, but we'll see what happens.
