For someone with a real shot at debuting at No. 1, I wonder what the strategy behind a Thursday release is. Interscope LOVES this strategy, it's definitely their doing. They've done it countless times with Billie and Selena.

They've done it countless times with Billie and Selena. It worked out really well for Selena, a #15 debut with one day of tracking is a helluva feat. It didn't even cut into the full week numbers since that song went #1 anyways.

Not quite at the Taylor level where you can release on a Friday and debut a week early she literally blew up overnight, bigger than any Taylor single really. She can definitely debut early. With a Thursday release sure. But you have to have insane three day airplay to debut early from a Friday release.

I really like it on first listen, the bridge is great and I think the chorus is good as well.

I honestly see this bombing but I may be wrong though...I stand by this statement because this isn't good... like at all.

I do think it took a bit long to pick up but when the beat came in, I immediately loved the rest of the song.
Am I the only one who feels that there was some Cruel Summer vibes in the bridge or are there others who detected the similarities?

I like it! It's not drivers license, but still, really good.

I like this on first listen but I'll have to give it a few more over lunch break. I'll definitely be rooting for it.

I think thereβs way too much pressure on her. I donβt think this will be a huge hit for her, but itβs still a really great song! Really looking forward to the album

I like it, I agree with the Lorde meets Cruel Summer comparisons.

Yeah this is really bad. Her singing style in this is particularly annoying.

I didn't like it at the first listen, but it was also like that with a drivers license, so I'll give you other chances.

Hmmm. I don't dislike it, but both this and DL are just too much of a mash up of Lorde/Taylor/Billie for me to be engaged. I don't hear anything remotely original here, I hear a patchwork of their vocal, lyrical and production styles.
She's so young and there's something there, so maybe she just needs time, but for now... I'll just go and listen to those other artists.

Again, the bridge is the only salvageable part of the song. I really wanted to like it, but sadly this is just not good.

Iβm getting some major Lorde vibes again, but I canβt quiet pinpoint the exact song.

On first listen, I don't love it, but it's not a bad song either. Perhaps it will grow on me on future listens.

I don't hate this, but "Drivers License" was a much better song.

This is really solid, and I'm sure it's going to be a grower. Not in the same league as DL but who cares.
Definitely Lorde-esque. Hoping if people embraces this song, they give my queen a fair chance when she drops her stuff.
Waiting for Josh and Sabrina's next meltdown BTW.

If Lorde insists on saving penguins for another year, Taylor remains stuck at that damn forest and Billie ain't done with her second album, I'll take Olivia.
This is very Lorde meets Lover. Really solid track.

Upon a few more listens, this rules. The outro slays me!
When it comes to sounding too much like other artists (Lorde, Taylor), I agree with Todd in the Shadows: Ripoffs are always welcome on the charts if they're good.

She also hosted a private virtual listening session yesterday, so it's probably safe to say this is coming soon. Looking back in the first page in this thread, how was this upbeat and dreamy? lol
