It is quite concerning that her label is able to continue sending her songs to multi-format radio where they're lucky if it scrapes the Top 40. There's got to be some loophole that's working for them.

There's got to be some loophole that's working for them. I mean, the casting couch does exist in the music industry too........ I don’t mean that insensitively but I genuinely don’t understand why this girl has gotten so many chances. What is so inexplicably amazing about her to warrant the tens of millions of dollars Warner has invested in her despite probably not even breaking even? Had this been any other wannabe pop act at any given time, they would’ve been dropped by failed single #3, if the label went all out full budget for all the singles like they seemingly do for her. And in the end, there’s no way this song is actually going to be a legitimate hit and her team clearly has bad taste, so I wonder what they’re gonna do next after this is done

Don't exactly think y'all had to stoop to that level to explain the chances she has been given, but okay.

There's got to be some loophole that's working for them. Surely she's got way too many chances, but I don't think the label has been investing in her without any rational thinking. After the two singles from her first EP (which is a very decent piece of work) flopped, she hit big with "Me, Myself & I," which kind of revived their faith in her and decided to give her two more chances. Then we have the AYF era, while "No Broken Hearts" flopped completely and "I Got You" underperformed, she managed to get herself another hit with "In the Name of Love," which is probably why the label gave her another chance with "The Way I Are" and this. My point is, although she has 5-6 flopped singles in a string, they are nicely separated by the two big hits under her name (on both "My, Myself & I" and "In the Name of Love" she is credited as a lead not as a featured act).

All she's good for is a hook on someone elses song 90% of the time. Her solo material is just flat out weaker

Discounted and #53. Might be a decent hit if radio catches on.

Why am I being subjected to TWO songs featuring Florida Georgia Line? The Hailee song kind of makes it work, but they sound ridiculous over this production.

I´ve just listened to this song and I liked it.I thought it could be over the top coming from some FGL´s songs but this is a nice one.

"In the Name of Love" was a moderate-sized hit, and really because of Garrax. The song reached #24 on the Hot 100. As a lead artist Bebe has had no substantial hits.

ITNOL reached Top 10 in 10+ European/Oceanian countries and was a great success in terms of streaming. It's just not as big as MMI in the US. If you're only counting the US, it is in fact so much bigger than Garrax's other collabos with Dua Lipa and Troye Sivan (#76 and #94). Garrax in fact only has two songs that reached Top 40 (the other one being 2013's "Animals") so I wouldn't say it is a secured hit simply because of Garrax.

That’s still a bit Keri Hilson ish though. She gets hits when she teams up with someone else. Maybe she’ll eventually get a Pretty Girl Rock of her own though. Good luck Bebe.

Its so random that Bebe appears to be connecting with the GP after how many solo singles? I know she did have I Got You but that song's downfall ended up being the lack of sales/bad callout.

Yeah I'm shook to see a Bebe Rexha solo single in the top 10 on iTunes. I was wondering how long it took until she became a full-time Access Hollywood correspondent or podcaster. Good for her.

The fact that THIS is the song that is taking off for her, upsets me This is super lackluster, IGY was a jam and yet it never even got so far on sales ever

I can't help but think that the song's mix of genres could be its downfall should it ever pick up. It's certainly more pop then anything, but FGL's vocals still sound very "country" and considering they open up the song, I can see that potentially turning off some pop listeners. I know BLABR went top 20 on pop, but that was an anomaly due to its amazing sales and even super poppy country like Craving You and The Fighter which sold pretty well and did good on country couldn't do anything here.
