She really doesn't need this single to be a hit for the album to do well....it's just frustrating to see what radio has become over the last 20 years. If people like, play it. Period. Politics destroy everything it touches

Well.. It's been getting negative audience updates for like a week now. Maybe it's peaking already?

I’m not surprised at all for a few reasons, mainly she’s never had a hit before and this is the kind of song that is typically very polarizing. I wouldn’t generalize the warm reception it’s received here to the general public. That said, she has a major following and will not struggle with this project even if she doesn’t get a radio hit.

I'm not feeling this song unlike 99% of the people here I believe. I hope it does well though because Janelle is massively underrated. I'm mostly with you. I like the prechorus and when the production really explodes towards the end, but other than that I'm not over the moon for this. You can definitely tell Slurpia had a hand in this too, I can hear her on the main hook a lot. Janelle's been on my radar since her features on In Your Dreams and Call The Law on Outkast's 2006 album Idlewild, the idea of her breaking big formally is an exciting thought, but on the whole there's an...insularity about her music. It's not detrimental in terms of quality, but she hasn't been an artist I've ever been moved to listen on repeat much, even thought I think the work itself is of high quality. Moving on to a more objective analysis... I guess she's going to wait until closer to the album release to really do anything for it, but MMF will likely suffer in the meantime. I think they goofed up by doing such a long window between the single release date, and by not hitting the promo circuit right away. They're two mistakes that feed off and enhance each other. If the goal is to break her on a larger level, it's a good idea to maximize initial excitement from the base and expand from there, and they seem to have taken all the steps to do so otherwise, right down to releasing the video simultaneously too because then there's really nothing else to bring attention back to you unless you put yourself out there. It may work for a new artist who has limited material to take a longer route to the release, but that's not the case with her. The album should have come out last week or this week, with promo in the two weeks leading up to it. Then the (presumably) positive reviews would have fed an existing flame as well. Right now it feels like its all going by the wayside, and they're not without fault on their end. I do think she'll get good press out of the album, and will do a successful tour, but this single right now isn't in the top 200 on Spotify or iTunes, and thee's not much push from her team, so there's no incentive from radio to play it.

Why all the songs I'm really bopping to are have direct connection with bisexuality??!?
Song deserved so much more than top 40 anyways.

This is a bop I really hope this becomes a hit
The only thing that might hold it back is it's super pop-oriented, like, in 2013 this probably would've been an out-of-the-gates instant hit but with the rap domination in the US, I wonder if listeners will genuinely give this one a chance

Maybe they should have sent it to alternative? I know that’s a long shot but that has always seems like where she really belongs to me.

Maybe she needs to partner with streaming services for promotion/song placement to get her music to people that way.
Also internet ads for Millennials and post-Millennials to hear her work.

I wonder what went on with this. It started off to an amazing start and it suddenly stopped. I wonder if label stopped pushing or it got bad reactions from listeners..

Heard this on a local Hot AC yesterday and this is pure fire on radio. Immediately took me back to hearing exciting and in your face pop music in the 2008-2012 time frame. Truly magical.

The fact that her team managed to get her on American Idol for "Yoga" yet could not book a late night show for her first single.
