I like the song a lot but I can't deny that the lyrics are super douchey, especially 2nd verse. Giving me Lukas Graham vibes. Then you're missing the point of the song. In the second verse, he sings about having big dreams of being a star as a kid. He recalls being laughed at by his classmates for such ambitions, but now he flips the script on those who mocked him proving that dreams do come true. Towards the end you can hear him singing "never give up on your dreams" in the background.

This does come across as bragging rather than giving other people any kind of message. But then again that's the problem with celebrities overall, enormous ego. But as I said, I really like the song regardless of that.

This has become my favourite single of theirs. So glad to see that it's finally starting to impact pop radio. I hope it's a huge hit.

For me it's decent, but I would've preferred Whatever It Takes. I like everything, but the "thunder" effect is annoying.

I think this MIGHT become their biggest hit to date. It would take nothing short of a miracle for one of their songs to ever outperform radioactive, the 4th best selling song digitally and a huge amount of weeks on the hot 100

This already has 20 weeks on Hot 100. The discount was removed but it's still top 10 on iTunes (#4). Kings of longevity :) Also randomly heard "Shots" at a store today. That wasn't that bad of a song

It would have to go top 2 on the Hot 100 and #1 on pop radio to outpeak "Radioactive", though. "Believer" was massive, and it still couldn't outpeak "Radioactive". Could it happen? Sure. But it's a mighty tall order, even with the sales being as strong as they are right now.

Fair, but the top of the charts have also been fairly congested the last couple months, plus Thunder is doing very well on streaming which is a pretty big deal considering how important it is and the fact that Believer could never do that. Not saying it will, but it has a shot imo.

There is no way this'll be #1 on the Hot 100, unless it picks up huge radio and gets a streaming boost, it won't happen.
