^ I literally burst out laughing. Is he joking?
I'm not doubting the track will be good though. The video looks funny from the scenes he showed us.

Lyrics are very silly and the metaphor is cringy... BUT the melody is everything , and the production is excellent. The song is hooky as f**k.
A smash.

It sounds like a Puth song. Simple, straight-forward, catchy. But also one-note and not something I'll revisit often. It sounds like a hit to me, not sure if he has the starpower to make that happen though.
That being said, I'm completely oblivious to TikTok. I've read this has a lot of hype there, so that may take this to a nice peak if he can utilize it.

Not sure how this will do. He's currently making a shit ton of money off Stay's success so I doubt he cares too much.

Definitely better than most of the recent stuff he's put out but still not sure if it's anywhere close to Voicenotes stuff.

This sounds like a "Stay" clone to me, but I don't mind this. Pretty much better than anything he's released post Voicenotes.

This is cute.
One section of it reminds of “Stay” a lot.
I wasn’t aware he had wrote it until recently.
This song is pretty catchy. I’ll probably listen to it for a bit.
Like others have said the production is hot.
I hope it does well.

I like the mv. That storyline is corny, but it's effective, I guess?

I don't know that I'd revisit this, but it's nice enough. I, too, had no idea that he was involved in "Stay" (usually his style is obvious) but "Light Switch" literally sounds like "Stay" and "How Long" in a blender.

I like this, but...
....all of the hype for this? It feels super anti-climactic.

I like this, but... ....all of the hype for this? It feels super anti-climactic. I love it but I agree with this. I feel it’s because we heard most of it anyway, especially the part before the last chorus. The only parts we hadn’t heard were the choruses were are meh. I still really enjoy this, and showcasing so much of it was important for hype, but I wish it was a bit more of a surprise when listening to this. As I said, the last chorus would have been a really good surprise as it’s different to the rest of the choruses, but we had also heard that.. I hope it’s a hit, though! |

It sounds like a mix of Thats What I Want and Stay, but it's a bop so I'll take it.

It's catchy. I don't get the Stay comparisons, they sound a bit similar, but no more than Attention and How Long did.
The titular line ('you turn me on like a light switch / when you're moving your body around and around') is a bit unintentionally funny, but Pushin P has quite a few unintentionally funny lyrics in it (i.e. "she turn 🅿️esbian" and the excessive alliteration in general), and I like that song. So it doesn't ruin it.
Looking forward to seeing it become a hit.

Are Charlie and Shawn sharing the same horrible wig? I'm begging you boys to cut your damn hair.
The song is ok, the line "You turn me on like a light switch" is pretty memorable though.

The song sounded way better than I expected, given the few snippets I've heard. The lyrics are simple, though the "you turn me on like a light switch" is catchy, but the instrumental is definitely solid. And the music video is silly and fun at the same time.

Charlie still hasn't topped "Attention". This doesn't sound like the hit he needs right now.

I expect this to be a big hit.
Curious if the strategy of releasing on Thursday will help chart wise. I figure with the huge initial interest, he'd want the first day of streaming to count for his first full week, while others catch up to and find out about the song? Am I wrong there?
