Not totally in love with this on first listen. It's decent.

It's a perfectly solid pop song and it definitely gets better with repeated listens I do like it quite a bit, but I'm still going to remind myself that "I Really Like You" was the first single from Emotion and it ended up being one of, if not the, weakest on the album. Pretty much all of this. But also, she looks so cute in the video! This new look is good.

This is GREAT.
Here’s the thing: it doesn’t try to hook you by being “annoying” like CMM (which was genius) and IRLY (which was....calculated).
CRJ tends to be a bit saccharine in some of her songs: pure ear candy. But this is musically more interesting, more vibe-y. It’s not “massive” like CTTF (and indeed I feel like the song could use a touch more catharsis), but you can leave this on repeat for hours and it’s so fun and groovy.

I like it on the first listen but I think it's one that will grow each time.
SO EXCITED!
Is this going to be pushed?

I like it. I’m not blown away. Kinda reminds me of “Ugly Heart”. It’s that type of ear candy.
Her voice sounds weird in the first verse. That’s bad cause she sounds great on the rest of the song.

This is okay. I like it but I was expecting more. I think my standards were so high that this, though good, falls short for me. Maybe it'll grow on me though.

I like this, it's a change of pace, and the chorus is infectious. She sounds great throughout the song as well. They should push this, what's the worst that can happen? It's just good to see her back out again.

You know what, let me just simmer the f**k down from my original opinion. I really wanted a transcendent pop moment, but not everything can or needs to be that. Instead she gave us a great pop moment and that's more than most are giving us these days (hail to chief Robyn though). I've had this on repeat and it's just good to have her back.

#24 on iTunes. Not being optimistic though. This probably won't last long enough to chart. Even if it does get high on iTunes, it'll probably drop hard like a BTS single, but not sell as much. Especially with a day cut off.
I do like the song though and hope it does decently in Japan and the UK like "I Really Like You" did.
Also uh...
"If you don't care about me Making love to myself Back on my beat"
... That sounds incredibly masturbatory.

I love the production on this yet dislike the vocal production. Was this one-take? Did they deliberately screw up her voice?
Anyways, the instrumental track is awesome. Not everything has to be Max Martin or Benny Blanco. Captain Cuts have a strong discography so far.

Were those sex toys I saw? What happened to Carly?
Not saying there's anything wrong with it before everyone gets upset. But wow, that was sudden.

Could of used more high notes, especially in the final chorus.
I'm not in love with it, but it'll grow on me.

Took a couple of listens to fully sink in, but I’m hooked. Just so light and so fun; the video is cute too! I can’t stop coming back to it.
She nailed this. Welcome back queen!!

#16 on iTunes. Would be #13 without the Halloween songs above it!

Half of the Emotion b-sides are better than this song.

This'll probably debut Top 10 on my chart even though it'll only be tracked for one day (if it does come out tomorrow as I've seen). Well, I guess I was wrong... Top 5 instead. It gets hard when several artists I like all have songs out at the same time. I really do like this song though. Hope it can do well. This is no "Run Away With Me", or "Cry", and it's more sexual. But it's still good. I'll pray to whatever god I need to for this to make the Hot 100.

I really like this (no pun intended), but I'm not sure if it's as good as CTTF.
