I really like the video. It’s simple, sexy, and Katy looks great in it. The video is basically a better version of the TD music video.

It's MILES better than Small Talk. If it was released after NRO I think it would smash!

This is fantastic, like it on the first listen. The production is ace, solid groove/vibe and the guitar is a nice touch. The hula/jewelah line cracks me up and I usually wince at her sense of humor. Love her adlibs throughout too.
Y'all know I'm gonna say it, where's the bridge? But after that "Small Talk" bridge, maybe this is a blessing.

Honestly, this is the hottest Katy's look ever?!
and yeah, it's not the best song of the year, but it's simple and catchy and smooth. I like it.

Lyrically, the song is very Katy but the production feels very Ariana.

i liked it, it's not as instant as NRO but I wouldn't say it's better or worse than it. They should have released this after NRO.

I like it! I also don’t think more promo would’ve helped NRO - its callouts were pretty horrid

Katy and her team would be crazy to not push this on radio. This is much more in line with what’s on radio compared to Small Talk.

Love this. Leagues above "Small Talk" and even more instant than "Never Really Over".

This isn’t as instant as Never Really Over but it’s still a bop! It’s much better than Small Talk too (although I can actually see why she went for that first over this). The first two choruses are a bit boring but I’m obsessed with her last chorus as libs and it completely makes up for it. Nice and chilled, and the video isn’t as summer vibes as I was expecting so I hope that helps with this coming out in autumn

EVERYTHING about this is perfect. Haven't watched the video but the minute that guitar started, I was not ready. Wasn't expecting such a groove, but hot DAYUM, this is great! I don't care if it's a radio single because I don't listen to the radio. I'm just glad to have this hotness in my life. Also, Katy sounds fantastic. Some of her best vocals easily.

This is so good; not sending it to radio is straight sabotage! I hope this takes off on its own (ala Dark Horse). I can see this doing just as well (if not, better) than Never Really Over. This gets better with each listen. Bop!

Pretty sure they'll be sending this to radio.

I like it. Grew on me as it went along.
Something about it reminds me of "Slumber Party"? Not sure if it's the chord progression or something in the chorus, but that was the first thing that caught my ear.

Love this. Leagues above "Small Talk" and even more instant than "Never Really Over". My sentiments exactly. I wasn't immediately sold on NRO but it grew on me quickly. This is an instant ace on the other hand.

This is leagues better than her last several singles. It’s the first I can even tolerate as far as anything after “Chained to the Rhythm,” and I actually like it!

This is sexy, cheesy, and catchy. It's classic Katy but with a modern sound. I love it. This needs to smash.

Wow, this is SO good! I was as instantly hooked to this as I was with NRO. I can see the chorus wearing on me if I listen to it too much, though.
