It sounds pretty good but the production seems dated af. But since I'm probably one of the very very few people who love "Triumphant" my opinion shouldn't matter. Our sale/stream etc counts just like everybody else. lol. I love "Triumphant" as well. However I only really started to appreciate the original version after she performed it live. It took a minute but I love it too. lol I pick and choose what I listen to now a days. I don't listen to the radio as much. I can't really tell if the production is "dated af". lol. At times I don't mind if something sounds dated or has been done before. As long as it doesn't sound STALE. lol People said "Thirsty" was dated etc but not STALE. It was still pretty hot. I don't think "I Don't" sounds stale "yet". lol

That snippet and video is giving me mixed feelings, I like and don't like parts of it YG is eh Production is solid sounding She looks great Vocals aren't so special Parts of the video look good The car scene looks a bit strange Just a really mixed response, the song itself just sounds solid
This might end up in the same scenario as Missy's I'm Better, good video but a subpar song

I didn't realize until this clip that this song is... trap. Her first trap song ever, no? Yikes.
And damn. The touching and posing will never go away. Ever. 😐

This should be her COMEBACK. And she's releasing some low budget song/video with a low rent rapper? Seriously? And then still trying to pull off the 'sexy' look in the video? This is the first major thing people are gonna see from her since the NYE disaster and it's ..... this? Ugh

Best first single she's had in years. Should do well on urban.

I like this, but it's forgettable. It would have fit fine as an album track on Me. I Am Mariah..., and I liked that album decently, but there was nothing special to most of the tracks. There's nothing particularly first single-worthy about this song. But it's serviceable! I'll enjoy listening to it. That video preview though It looks like they had a shoestring budget and Stella did the lighting.

Can't wait to have the HQ of this. SUCH a jam. I will continue to not use YG #rearviewbye but thank you JD for not trying to recreate WBT or do a snap ballad. Love the trap sound. It's current, hip, and I think Mariah sounds good. DRAG Packer by his Dumbo ears!

JD delivered on this beat. Congrats to him, he was able to make something trendy.
Let's not act like this doesn't sound like a more melodic take on Bryson Tiller. And y'all lived for T R A P S O U L, soo.. Mariah's ear for melody >

And y'all lived for T R A P S O U L, soo.. Mariah's ear for melody > This. I was concerned from the clips that her melodiousness would actually be part of what makes it sound dated (b/c melody isn't really the trend these days) but it actually works really well here and the song in full doesn't sound nearly as dated as the clips led me to believe it would. I think that the vocals and instrumental could have been blended together better and they could have emphasized the beat drops more to really make the production pop and make this a true banger, but as is it is a bop. YG is unnecessary but not obnoxious or an obvious cut-and-paste addition. I am still not going to hold my breath waiting for this to become even a moderate hit, but I will say that almost any of the current r&b girls could have released this as a lead single and gotten their obligatory urban-hit-preceding-album-flop out of this, which probably sounds shadier than it should but it really is just how on point I think the song is for today's music.

I am wondering if any of the mixing issues will sound better in HQ but I still like this song a lot and I actually like it better than Obsessed. I like YG's actual rap now not that "You say you LOVE me" part that appears multiple times and at one point, has him rapping off-beat.
