Olala, I find it very flat. Bad Liar and Fetish were so great in comparison! Am I over-reading the lyrics, or is there a link between the title of the song and her disease? (as lupus means 'wolf' in latin?)

Still prefer Fetish, one of the bops of the year for me, somehow so underrated. Hope this does well, she deserves it!

It's fine but I felt like it was building towards a big chorus that never came.

This falls flat. They are definitely capable of crafting a better collaboration than this.

The most "it's fine" song I've heard in a while. nm it's 2017 probably like 2 weeks?

I really like this too! I like Selena's tone during the verses and the pre-chorus. The drop reminds me a little of The Police's "Every Breath You Take". I think this should perform better than "Bad Liar" and "Fetish." Olala, I find it very flat. Bad Liar and Fetish were so great in comparison! Am I over-reading the lyrics, or is there a link between the title of the song and her disease? (as lupus means 'wolf' in latin?) When I saw the single cover, that crossed my mind too. And then the lyrics read with that particular interpretation in mind definitely fits that for me too.

Who the HELL has been vocal tuning Selena since 2015-? They should be fired. Her vocals sound beyond over-processed on this. Her voice sounded better and more "natural" (I use the term loosely) on her Disney stuff when it was just pitch corrected instead of dragged through hell and back with Melodyne. This song is also really boring and doesn't have half the punch that "It Ain't Me" has.
I don't see this doing much. I agree with the post above mine, the song just sounds like your typical 2010's Eurotrash. No thank you. I don't see this doing any better than Fetish or Bad Liar stateside. Maybe the public has finally realized that Selena Gomez is a completely incompetent singer?

I kinda like this, I like the verses.
Doesn't seem to be a marshmello song, and I'm happy with that because "Alone" burned super fast.

I like it more than "Bad Liar", but not as much as "It Ain't Me" or "Fetish". It's a decent song but I don't think it'll stand out enough to be anything more than a minor hit.

Up to #5 on iTunes!
I like this a lot. It kinda bridges the gap from "It Ain't Me" to "Fetish" in terms of sound, and this upcoming project is seeming more cohesive now. I still think "Fetish" is a better song (and am traumatized by its underperformance), but this is a safer choice to relaunch the era. From what she said during her Beats 1 interview today, it sounds like things will be moving more towards an actual album release and her actually promoting things. She was going through real issues this summer (such as a kidney transplant...), but she sounded much more engaged in her music again during this interview. Praying for an AMAs performance.
She also said the album is coming "sooner than expected", whatever that means.

This isn't so bad. I rank it third in the 4 releases Selena had. It's better than "Bad Liar", but not "Fetish" or "It Ain't Me".

This is really good and I think I would be in the minority here because I prefer it over "It Ain't Me".

Up to #3 on iTunes US. It Ain't Me and Fetish are clearly superior to this but it's still a bop!
Edit: just reached #1 on iTunes

glad it reached #1 before the "ready for it" video came out. impressive considering it didn't have a radio deal, but "fetish" did the same and we know how that turned out.

The opening instrumental sounds like a mixture of Linkin Park’s latest single and AnnaSophia Robb’s Keep Your Mind Wide Open, LMAO

#1 on iTunes and she's performing at the AMAs. Finally fixing this era.

Wait, she actually remembered what "promo" means? This better go top 10 then.

Disappointed on first listen. Not that it's bad, but it's just kinda okay, which isn't what I was expecting when I heard of a collab between these two. I'll listen to it a bit more and maybe it'll grow on me a little more.
