If the BBA performance is good it has a shot at #1.

Yes Katy!!! Looks well on its way to beat BA's peak on iTunes and Nicki's part is great.

This is a great grat/album track - ++ Nicki's vocals wish that part was longer! Curious what they will push at radio.

Okay bitch! Katy I better see you stunt at the BET Awards this year ho. Oh gawd I hope this comes true. Black twitter will roast and I will live for it. They don't let people pass for certain types of performances that other awards shows do.

I like this but I feel like her BBMA performance of it is going to be embarrassing.

Well, she's a hell of a lot more blunt than I expected her to be with the fireback song to TS. Also I'm lol'ing so hard at "You're calculated." This song is so Sharpay Evans lmao That's why I love it.

This beat is insanely house, loving the new direction Katy seems to be giving. Try saying Swish Swish 3 times real fast without getting tongue tied.

The song's production and catchy chorus do not make up for its bulky, unmelodic verses. They really think THIS is the song to officially release and get things back on track (commercially)? Really? lol Ok.

I'm happy they're pushing this as a single. This has definitely been more instant than Bon Appétit. It's more mid tempo than her other two singles which goes better with radio. Plus it includes Nicki and rehashes that Taylor/Katy feud that's been going on for years.

To add insult to injury, she releases this very boastful single on the back of a flop and under-performance. Timing is crucial on a "diss" track like this.
"Another one in the basket" "Another one in the casket"
The song references Taylor, so I find those lines particularly "interesting" considering if we lined the resume of both artists for comparison, Taylor is clearly winning. lol If she is bodying anyone, it sure isn't her. She could have at least made up for it had she delivered lyrically, but she fell flat there as well (Nicki bests her with ease). :/

I am living for this pettiness. RIP "Bon Appétit", I need this to smash. It's also just a better pop song. I'm still bitter about "Bob Appétit"'s wildly underwhelming chorus.

Everyone is loving it. The Youtube comments are mostly praise and saying how this is better than her last singles. Performance on iTunes so far is pretty good considering this is the third single.

What does this sample? I've heard that beat during the verses before somewhere?
This literally couldn't be closer to her Artpop era. All over the place and messy. I can't believe Chained To The Rhythem is the most quality song to be released thus far. I knew she needed Luke, but Jesus Christ.

I mean, I get what she was going for, but this is more of a self-drag than anything. These clunky lines she's throwing out apply more to her current standing than Taylor's.
Production is poppin though, Duke Dumont did that.

Production is poppin though, Duke Dumont did that. Literally this x100000. "Your game is tired/ you should retire". The irony of her and Nicki on this song, while they're both in their respective career valleys. If Taylor isn't laughing while listening to this, I'd be shocked.

This is pretty terrible. Nicki's verse is the best thing but can't really save it. I thought Bad Blood was terrible too but when you're striking out trying to get a hit, this sounds really desperate.

I like this but oh boy it sounds really, really dated. Maybe that is the point? Also, I will just pretend like it isn't a jab at Taylor because half the lyrics are kind of comical if that is the point.

Another Single that Katy couldn't even get to go top 10 on the first day. What the hell happened to her power?
