Yeah.....the snippets were more promising. I feel like I would like this a lot more if it didn't sound like she was screaming on most of it.
Ditto on it sounding dated as well.

Sounds like an OKish Ariana track. Shrug.
Edit: I'm hearing The Way ALL over this.

This song is about as insufferable as she is on Twitter.

This is fine. I'd listen to whatever album this ends up being on, but it's not exactly stellar. "Body Say", another example of her being late to a trend, was a better effort tbh.

Before the chorus, it sounds like "The Way". Other than that, this goes hard a lil!! I wanna hear more R&B/Pop from Demi.

The chorus sounds horribly mixed. Maybe it was intentional, but it just sounds fuzzy/off putting.
After Body Say (which was pretty great), she puts this turd out. She doesn't have a clue.

This is good!! I was very afraid by the title and snippets but she came true, it is no where near as tropical house sounding as I thought it would be, which is always a good thing I was also afraid where it would be like Most Girls, which is an okay song but I really struggle to see those songs doing well. I do agree Body Say is better but I still really enjoy this :) My one complaint is that the chorus sounds very busy. It sounds like there are people chanting very quietly in the background which makes it a little messy. Also, the swearing is a bit excessive Also, #10 on iTunes!

Not really feeling it so far. Her previous lead singles were better.

It's really nice. Not on the level of Give Your Heart A Break, Neon Lights or Cool For The Summer but still good!

Maybe I'm biased, but I liked it. I do think the chorus is more on the shrill side, but that's never stopped songs from being hits (*flashbacks to Blow Me One Last Kiss*). I do hear the Yours Truly-era comparisons. It's cute. I'm glad it's not nauseatingly on trend. And she did slay that sustained A5 at the bridge that left me scalped a bit. The chorus is a little jarring at first, but could possibly be a grower.

As soon as I saw she had that basic Bath & Body Works cashier hair back, I knew this was going to be bland. It's okay up until the chorus. Damn that chorus is SOOOOOOOO bad, like change the station bad.

This is like a bad version of The Way. Also her voice is pretty unbearable here. It sounds like she's screaming through the entire song.

I'm really surprised response to this has been so negative. Apart from the chorus this song is pretty incredible to me. I understand the criticism of the chorus but still don't find the shrillness to be as deal breaking as many people are making it out to be. Is she really more shouty here than she has been in many of her songs in the past? TBH I think better production choices (both vocal and instrumental) on the chorus couldn't saved it.

Even the title of the song is three years outdated. When you're being outclassed by the likes of Selena Gomez, it's time to re-evaluate your professional choices.

This girl is a terrible singer. I can't get through 30 seconds of any of her songs.

People are being negative because Demi hasn't had a radio hit for a couple years.

The song doesn't sound like "The Way" as much as it sounds like the piano part of Brenda Russell's "A Little Bit of Love." Which was sampled by Big Pun, and then by Thalia with "I Want You" with Fat Joe, and then Ariana. So again, making her sound late to a trend.

This is like a bad version of The Way. I didn't think THAT was possible. The dread of revisiting the worst song from Summer 2013 will keep me previewing this on Spotify. It's too bad.
