I hope this is good and also that it becomes a hit so that she's not just a one-hit wonder.

at the So Am I "challenge." The challenge is actually writing it on your hand correctly, and not upside down. |

Out now. I’m obsessed. I love the lyric about Harley. I generally hate concepts like this, but she wrote it in a way where it’s not cringey.

Not feeling this one yet. It's too similar to SBP but doesn't pack the same punch.

I don't give a fuck if this sounds almost identical to SBP because that chorus is pure pop bliss. Her Poker Face is finally here!

She did it again. This is the perfect follow up to SBP. Ava Max is seriously reviving pop music!

The melody in the chorus is very familiar. I can’t put my finger on what it reminds me of though

This is pure pop perfection, and I love it, but it's definitely not better than "Sweet but Psycho" or "Salt". I'd prefer if she released "No Angel" but it's unfortunately not on the album.

I like this. It's not as infectious as "Sweet but Psycho" but it should be another hit if properly handled.

This isn't selling very well is it? I've looked through the Top 200 of both US ITunes and Pop Charts and haven't been able to find it, but I might just be really blind.

This song is literally Sweet But Psycho in a different key

This is melodically mimicking SBP
Lyrically it's cookie cutter empowerment lines
It's passable but definitely a pretty big step down from SBP imo
A real shame too cause SBP is one of the best pop songs I've heard in awhile that filled in an upbeat area of pop that felt relatively dormant for some time.
Anywho back to putting SBP on full rotation

I do like this but I instantly picked up Sweet But Psycho vibes while listening; same structure, beat, similar instrumentations, etc.
I would still like this to be a hit, so I'm hoping they send this to radio at some point.
If this song doesn't work out for Ava though, she still has Make Up to fall back on, which definitely has its own unique sound from Sweet But Psycho, and I think that one already is getting sent to radio at some point.

I'm convinced that if i layered SBP on top of this, nobody would be able to tell the difference between the two songs.

It's funny that everyone keeps saying that this is very similar "Sweet but Psycho" when that was also a criticism of "Poker Face" (sounding like "Just Dance") and this poor girl keeps getting compared to Gaga's career beginnings at literally every corner.
So I finally just listened to this and I echo the sentiments that SBP and "Salt" are both superior, but this is still pretty nice even with cliche lyrics.

This sounds like a combination of “Sweet but Psycho” and “Love Again” by Carly Rae Jepsen to me.
I like it, though.
