I think I could end up really liking this if I can get over the chorus. The rest of the song is good but the chorus is a little jarring or something??

She had built a little momentum but I think this might have killed it 😂

Careful! You might be labeled a misogynist! Was it you that was dismissing her accomplishments and her artistry as having no longevity, as she was about to get another major worldwide hit 9 years into her career? Yes, it was absolutely sexist. And look at that, you can totally hate this song or all of her music and not be sexist! But if that was you, saying what you you said about her career and artistry, yes, what you said was sexist, and I really truly don’t care whether a mod warns me about it. Sorry if being appropriately called out “ruffles your feathers” or whatever.

Feathers so ruffled you've got nothing left but a twiggy shaft.

It’s because the person that did that in the other thread had their username changed, and I assume no one would have called their sexism back in a new thread except someone still bothered they were called out by it.
Twiggy shaft indeed.

Meghan has always made "live, laugh & love" adult contemporary pop for wine moms, even from the beginning of her career. Idk why there's such a visceral reaction to this song in particular, have you heard her other stuff? Dear Future Husband is one of the worst pop songs of the 2010's and the rest of her stuff isn't much better. Me Too, All About That Bass, No Excuses, Made You Look, etc. All her stuff is like this, she had a little bit of balls during the Thank You era but otherwise she hasn't artistically progressed at all since her debut. Pretty much this. I mean, is this absolutely awful and is she one of the worst acts to ever exit? Sure absolutely. But we already know that and have known it for ages. Nothing about this particular track is new, except Kris Jenner. Her presence in the video actually puts this above some of her other singles for me.

Is this a more visceral reaction? I haven’t paid attention to previous threads of hers but “terrible and kinda catchy lol” seems to be the norm for her. This one just adds an element of TikTok desperation.

Wait, why is the prechorus actually cute, though? The verses are meh and the chorus is terrible, but the prechorus actually low key slaps.

maybe i'm just high but. this is bordering on so bad it's good for me ?? at minimum that mr sandman sample slaps and deserves a WAY better song, although i think there's a weird genius abt the way it's utilized (you're just a bum bum bum ,,,,), as much as it's also profoundly stupid
the rest of the song though ? yeesh
edit: also wait am i tripping or does the "permission to speak" part of the prechorus sample a song from lana's first album (that i can't put my finger on rn)

Yeah, this sucks. But upon further inspection, the “bum bum bum bum bum” part kinda slaps.

I do think the reception to this track is gonna help it in the long run, all those tweets about how bad this song is will only cause more people to stream it. It's also tailormade for TikTok like Meghan's last hit, so I wouldn't be shocked if it picks up steam and becomes another hit for her.

2014 was a good year to go back to though! I feel safer living my life back then than now. I wish I could get stuck there.

Okay I completely changed my mind and take back all my judgement. Third listen and I’m hooked. So bad it’s good. Sample smacks. A couple truly great one liners.
Damn.

Exactly what I think about her stuff. Nearly a decade has passed and she's still in that Doo-wop sound and All About That Bass aesthetic.

If you’re on this forum, you know she didn’t do Doo Wop again for literally like 5-6 years. If you don’t care about her doowop stuff, cool, but don’t act like she never evolved over ten years. Anyone nerdy enough about the pop charts to be on this forum knows better.

Both "Thank You" and "Treat Myself" are pop albums that have nothing to do with her Doo-wop sound. After "Me Too", all her singles failed, some of them were very good like "Wave" and "Let You Be Right". Then suddenly she releases "Made You Look" which is clearly a throwback to her original sound and it smashes so can we really complain about her trying to stick with this style for the next releases?

I don’t even get what the hate is all about. People hate on this absolutely catchy track, but praise songs like Lavender Haze as a great 2nd single?
