Probably my favorite from the set (other than Charli and HAIM). Really pretty.

So glad to see this bursting on Spotify! It's risen 10-15 spots on Apple Music too
I don't think this will be fully sent to radio but it would be nice to see some airplay nonetheless. Amazing ballad

I'm still puzzled as to why this hasn't gotten a push to radio yet, they have a hit on their hands.

Sounds like her usual songs. Will she ever try to create other sounds and not just these melancholic Gen Z songs? I was bored with this. I liked all songs from the soundtrack so far except this. My fave is Speed Drive. LMAO at this campy, ridiculous soundtrack (based on everything we've heard so far anyway) and she serves... this. She really can't help herself. It's actually a very pretty song, but once again I have a hard time getting around her vocals/technique. When I can hear every gasp and breath between notes, you might as well be chewing food in my ear. So distracting. I've always suspected she has a way better voice than what she consistently presents, she just needs a vocal coach to gather her. What was THIS made for?! She couldn't lean into the bubblegum pop of the rest of the soundtrack even a tiny bit? What about a BPM above zzzZzzZzzz? All these hot takes... and then it turns out to be the most praised and impactful musical moment of the (universally acclaimed) film and is exploding on streaming after the box office debut. Oop, poor dat.

Yeah, not sure why I'm being quoted here. Her having success on the charts doesn't negate her poor vocal technique. But go off sis! And congrats on whatever you think you just accomplished with that post.

Really white knighting hard for those other posters who probably arenβt even bothered.
Anyway: this is in Billies top 5 ballads and so excited to see this getting a big response. The singles from her last era really deserved better.

Anyways, this really worked extremely well in the scene it was used for and fits the movies themes very well.

Took them long enough, should've done it upon arrival. Now let's hope somehow Speed Drive gets pushed to radio next.

I've been really enjoying this. Just really makes me want her new album asap, it's already been 2 years since Happier Than Ever!

It took a second, but like most Billie for me, once it grows it really hits. The lyrics are just beautiful, and that little turn towards optimism at the end is so powerful. And of course, the vocals are gorgeous, even if they're apparently not for everyone. ;)
I don't see much space for this on pop radio and can't really imagine it blasting in an uber ride, but we'll see! Would love to be proven wrong.

I think this can give her a second Oscar nod.

If streaming can remain stable, I think this could see a similar radio run to βWhen The Partyβs Overβ. Since itβs a ballad, it wouldnβt surprise me if programmers donβt get on board with it until fall. Hoping for the best as it would be a great addition to radio during the colder months!

absolutely crushing. i know there was a lot of backlash towards billie circa 2019 or so that might still exist to some extent but there's a lot to like abt her, even for less pop oriented audiences. not only has she grown into a pretty talented songwriter, she genuinely feels. so human and vulnerable in a way almost no other artists on her level do. replay value wise, im not sure it'll be closer to a my future (which i spun a bunch when it came out and still occasionally listen to) or a your power (which i've listened to all the way through maybe twice) but i respect the hell out of it and hope it smashes, im also curious to see how it was incorporated in the movie
i actually think this has a solid amount of potential on radio -- the interest is clearly there from the streaming numbers and it kind of reminds me of when the party's over, which i recall having INSANELY good callout scores, although i guess pop has paid basically all of her ballads from her second era onwards dust, so idk
