How do so few people have faith in this? This is a SMASH and if New Rules put her on the scene, this'll make her star Having faith in this and actually loving the song is different. I like this and I think it will do very well, mostly because "New Rules" paved its way but I don't think it is as strong as some of the previous singles. Regardless, I think it is a good song and it will smash in the US.

I personally prefer this to New Rules. To me, the bridge and chorus are much more explosive in this song than New Rules. Hopefully it will be her second #1. If it isn't, this deserves at least to go top 10.

This better be her second straight #1 or I will have totally lost my faith in US radio....then again considering “Perfect” is still top two...that ship has sailed.

This is a perfect pop song. 100%. I love that MNEK cowrote this, it's his best work since "Final Song" by MØ. I'm glad she's working with him again on her sophomore album cause this is flawless. Omg I didn’t realise it was the same writer this totally makes sense. ‘Final Song’ is everything.

After that performance I'm gonna need a Homemade Dynamite type of remix featuring Charli XCX, Zara Larsson and MØ.

The Live Lounge gathering was pointless since nobody even got a line, and it seemed that their microphones were quieter than Dua's during the chorus. It reinforces that a lot of these newer female acts aren't that distinctive overall (which isn't entirely fair since Charli XCX was there). Actually, Charli was the biggest missed opportunity because I think she'd have killed a song like this with her attitude.

Give everybody the spotlight. They were glorified backing vocalists on that performance.

Alma is also pretty distinctive and MO to a lesser extent. The only one there that was a bit generic was Zara Larsson.

She ended up doing New Rules at the BRITS, but this is #3 with a small margin (just over 400 units) on the latest midweeks.

She should have performed this one. I don't know why artists aren't using award shows to promote their current singles like they did a couple years ago.
She just won Breakthrough Artist though.

Yeah, I thought it was a cute thing for them all to do the backing vocals, and I actually like that they didn't have big egos and or tried to do their own thing on Dua Lipa's song. Definitely don't get how this reinforces them lacking identity, it's nice seeing artists supporting one another and not needing the focus to always be on themselves.
