"Ooh shots are ready" etc etc line (which is probably the chorus) “Probably the chorus” lol that’s one of my major issues with the song. It’s like she’s telling this story in the verses and doesn’t even bother with the hook. What I THINK is supposed to be the hook would sound better as the verse melody. The non-existent hook following the melodically weak verses adds to the meandering feel of the song. The song is not “bad,” but she’s capable of doing a song like this in her sleep. Well I only heard the song twice...lol. I like it and yes I agree she can do this song in her sleep and I'm fine with that. I like it better than "You're Mine Eternal" already and that is another one she could have done in her sleep.

She loves making the same whispery song over and over.

her whisper sounds aged here though, and that isn't a bad thing at all, but it doesn't make the song any better either.

it's harmless and boring. It's not even close to something like #Beautiful.

This is serving me ride around and get introspective teas. I'm not usually a fan of these cuts but this one sounds incredibly beautiful. Its one of the rawest, subtle songs she has released this decade. Im so into the chill, Xanax Carey. This is a nice break from all the shit they play on the radio.

I’ll be the first to say I prefer this over GTFO. Same here times infinty! This one sounds at least decent. GTFO felt so cringeworthy with terrible lyrics. 😷😷 Thank God she didn't choose that one as her lead single.

Get that airplay smash kween! I’m assuming the deal is with Urban AC stations. Unfortunately iHeart owns VERY few Urban AC stations. I wonder if it has a deal with any other format.

Just heard this on the HAC station here in San Diego. I haven't heard a "new" Mariah song on the radio since "You're Mine" had a similar deal. Then again, if "Infinity" had a radio premiere deal, then that would've been the last time, but I can't recall.

This sounds like a b-side of E=MC2. But not in a completely bad way. It's better than if she chases the trend and does a trap song.

Neither "You're Mine" or "Infinity" had radio deals. Throughout the day meant during her various interviews to premiere the song on a few stations. It wasn't an "every hour top of the hour" deal like "#Beautiful"

This only got 90k views on YouTube so far today. That's really bad for a new release by a major artist, even one well past their prime.

I like this but won’t be surprised at all if it flops a single. I don’t think it’s catchy enough for the GP to latch on to. Profanity or not, GTFO would’ve done a better job as the lead.

The fingersnaps are so dated and I bet Stella would have made her put out a banger.

We can go back and forth with this for days, but I know the numbers don't lie. Those songs didn't have iHearRadio deals.

What I find weird is that there’s nothing that shows this going for adds at Urban, Urban AC, and even Rhythmic. But this is going to go for adds at Pop, Hot AC, and AC. You would’ve thought this catered to these formats instead, so I’m not sure what Epic and her team is doing tbh.

Mariah is past the point of having hit singles so wringing hands and pontificating about chart positions is a waste of breath. You either like the music or you don't but this isn't 1999 or 2005. Very few solo MC songs were gonna be hits anyway.

I would hope she could at least get an Urban AC hit. Her peers like Mary and Janet are having no problem.
The first day performance for this (radio and streaming primarily) is awful.

I was so excited about this era days before but now I can't wait for it to end. She's still the most marketable out of the three, all it takes is a catchy number but it feels like they are doing everything not to get her a hit. Still can't believe they thought this is first single material. I wonder what they are thinking seeing its nonexistent performance now.

Damn, I love this song. It really is perfect for Fall. I get the same feeling I get when I first heard I Stay In Love. It reminds me of someone I used to be in love with. Really looking forward to the album but I am hungry for more details.
