The chorus and the bridge are really good. Very immediate.
I love Snoop, but he sounds so corny on this. I wish it was solo.

This is a whole ass BOP! The '70s disco vibes are absolutely perfect. This should have immediately followed I'm Good.

This is giving "California Gurls" meets "Levitating". I'm loving everything Bebe's put out for this new era.

Is it just me or are her vocals pitchy? Like they didn't finalize the mixing or something

When I listen to this song I get the impression that Snoop and Bebe just kind of got together to have some fun and make a song, without trying to overdo it or put much production into it. It's as if because the bar was low, they had no expectations and no pressure - and ended up letting loose and making something really good. This song totally doesn't take itself seriously.. for example the intro rap "...am I loud and clear, or is the smoke f***ing with your ear".. and the chorus "last night I got higher than a satellite"... so fun! Just a pure refreshing pop song, love hearing both Bebe Rexha and Snoop having fun with a song like this. It would be awesome if radio picks up on it!

I liked this a lot on first listen, but after more listens I like it even more than before.
Is it sampling anything? Gloria Gaynor, Abba or something else from around that time period?

According to Genius, this song samples Madonna's "Hung Up" (so it samples ABBA by proxy) and Mini Viva's debut single "Left My Heart In Tokyo". But this seems to be unconfirmed and honestly it sounds like a pretty subtle kind of sampling. |

Is this the next single in the US? The video is really cute. I think this song is so good that it has the potential to put her in the next level of stardom.

This is her best single and one of the best songs released in 2023.

This one seems to really connect. They should push it as the third single I think!

No lie, when the second half of the bridge hits and she starts belting while the strings come in... it's a low-key transcendent musical moment, lol.
I still have a hard time fully taking this seriously because of Snoop, but there's no denying the chorus and bridge on this.

Dying at her mary jane costume. A mess, lol.
In the album booklet, I noticed there's lyrics for a second Bebe verse instead of Snoop's rap. I wonder if a full solo version was recorded and Snoop was added later.

I find Bebe’s parts pitchy and harsh but Snoop’s verse had me bopping

It didn’t really do anything to warrant a release commercially. Plus she has a new single likely being pushed to radio that comes out Friday, and a deluxe down the line with other hit material. |

This was serviced to Italian radio earlier this month, so I'm going ahead and moving this thread here.
