This is trash. Like this is what he chose to follow up “Fancy Like” and “AA” with? Quit trying to recreate Fancy Like and make some actual music. Maybe he is trying to recreate a huge hit he had (and if he is, I can't blame him). But maybe he's making music he likes. I have been a fan of Walker for a while and this has always been the type of songs he does ("90s Country," "You Broke Up With Me"). His music is very unique to him and while some people (you and others) may think it's trash, others actually enjoy it. I never understand when people say, "make some actual music." They are. You just don't like it. Such a real comment and facts! Music is subjective and not everyone is going to like every artist and the kind of music they make. I’m not a fan of this kind of country but clearly there are tons who do (just maybe not on pulse).

I think this is moderately fun, although the production does hinder it quite a bit. I wish he would release something like Briefcase that shows a different side of him, but can’t blame the label for wanting to keep pushing what’s been working after so many misfires. Walker is the nicest guy on the planet, so whatever it takes for him to succeed is fine with me.

I like this, though I agree that I would have preferred something like "Briefcase" be released instead. I really like Walker's sound though, and will always wish him well.

I love this now, but still not as much as “Briefcase” or “Delorean.”

It’s really not that different from “Fancy Like” or “U Girl” or “AA” so if you like any of those idk what would make this one so awful.
His music is just catchy with fun beats and production. This one is no different. I dig it.
I used to think he was the biggest joke in country music but now I just enjoy him for what he is. He actually pulls songs like this off quite well honestly.

His album "boom" was not country, but dealed with serious themes, and many songs were, in my opinion adult oriented-musically. It is only after that album, that he began with novelty so ngs. So if anything, he became a joke, because he wasn't. That said, I have liked him before and like him to this day :)

That said, I have liked him before and like him to this day I don't listen to his albums, just know his singles... first one was "Pants" back in the day, which I liked, but also thought was a dumb song. As the years went on, he kept releasing music that I thought was utter crap- total mainstream drivel, and I had no time for it personally. It wasn't until "Fancy Like" grew on me, and then he came out with "U Girl" that I started appreciating his artistry for what it is. I think he's just having fun and making music he enjoys, and I've started to enjoy it too.

Apparently, this is receiving spins on a single pop radio station. I doubt this will hit pop radio fully, but I guess the interest is kinda there for a second Walker Hayes crossover hit.

I feel like this one is probably almost dead at Country, it had a hot start but isn’t something they are going to want to play long term. I think they should ship a new country single in January, and it’s fine letting this be a pop “single” with Ciara for whatever AirPlay and streams that can bring.

Ciara definitely makes this song a little more tolerable, but this still just... lacks the charm and fun of "Fancy Like" and "AA" so I'm not surprised to see this one struggling to replicate the success of those at country radio.

It's too bad they had a miss with this when something like "Briefcase" was sitting right there. I agree that they should move on sooner rather than later, and release something that would connect better with country radio.

This had a good December, so I think at this point it may be Top 20 bound, which Walker will take any day as it will keep him selling tour tickets. So I guess riding this one out makes sense now.

He released another new song last month; I wonder if we’ll get a new EP or album early next year.

I get that this just got a new music video but given the fact that this has a bullet of -83 on Mediabase and has fallen all the way back to #30 on Billboard, I have to think this is nearing for this song.

Disappointing if this is done but, if it is, I hope that means that they move on to "Face In The Crowd" soon.

This song is hanging on by a thread and lost its bullet this week and is the only song in the Top 30 to lose its bullet. I really hope that this next week Monument can let this go as it is not gonna do anymore as it has fallen back to #31 on Billboard and radio isn't budging.

This went recurrent on Billboard this week. Disappointing, but it hadn't really moved in awhile. I'm hoping that they send "Face In The Crowd" out ASAP, as that is a great song that shows off a different side.
