Is there a deal for this? My station is playing at the top of every odd hour, though not sure about others. Which station are you listening from?

I wonder how this will perform, it's been awhile since a pop girl ballad has actually been successful It feels very rare if it ever happens nowadays

This has Julia Michaels written all over it. Not a fan of the production, especially on the second verse but overall the track is a solid ballad.

It’s a little slow for me, but she looks amazing and sounds beautiful. I liked the lyrics. It’s a solid song. I prefer some of her other music more but I’m here for this overall

This is fantastic. I've heard/seen quite a few people talking about it today, this could be a hit for her.

I actually really, really like this. My favorite single from her since Come and Get It.

This isn't for me. I don't mind ballads but not this type I guess. I only listened to it once but it doesn't sound like a "single" in my opinion.

I could never hear this again and be totally fine with it. Let's see what else she has in store because this does nothing for me.

I want to like this song and I usually really like ballads, but something about this just doesn't click with me. I don't want to say it's boring, but it's not as interesting as it should be. I'd probably like it more if it stayed as a piano ballad instead of turning into an "Issues by Julia Michaels"-type song in the second verse.

The production is annoying and off-putting. It was fine on Issues because it was a midtempo but this would be much better with piano only.

She's done this song already and much better with "The Heart Wants What It Wants." I feel like every 3 years she comes out with The Definitive Bieber Breakup song, and it's honestly just exhausting to me at this point. It's astonishing how her public narrative is so tied to that relationship.

Something about the chorus sounds very “off” like not musically okay... I think kids are made with different ears these days and won’t notice.

I like this, a lot. I don't think ballads are really what people are going for from Selena though.

I think the remixes could be killer for this song.
I was half expecting some EDM drop during the song tbh. It has worked wonders for her before (It Ain't Me). But it's Julia, for better or worse this is the type of song that she delivers.

Julia is always fighting a melody and/or a beat and now she has Selena fighting her battles as well. I would be fine with their artist/writer relationship if Julia herself wasn’t an artist releasing music. Everything that they work on makes it seem like Selena just recorded over the demo and copied every infliction associated with Julia’s vocal stylings. I don’t feel any of Selena’s personality in this because it just drips of everything Julia has been releasing over the past 2 years. It’s a similar feeling I got with a lot of Sia’s writing work after she gained popularity.

Cute but boring and unexciting. All of the songs she's been on since 2017 have been much much much better than this. Also, 'sang off key to my chorus' coming from her makes me feel the same way as when Katy Perry sang 'are we tone deaf?'.

A bore. I'll look forward to the next song (that's supposedly produced by Mattman & Robin).

This is cute and all but I wanted to like it more but I can't. The offbeat singing is just annoying to me and I don't like where the song leads going into the second verse. It's too Julia Micheals as someone else said.
