Ok, so I heard the song and y’all are legit tripping for no reason. This sounds current, catchy, and is insanely fun. CAMP for DAYS and I love it. I actually prefer it to Pretty Girls, the other song I would classify from her in this vein. I hope we get an AI video so that y’all can complete your meltdowns. 🤣
The moment may be perfect for a song like this from her. Tik Tok is in charge of the music industry (along with TS) and I’m not convinced this won’t take off there.
Is it Toxic? Hell no. Is it Gimme More? Absolutely not. Is it a fun little diddy made for the times? Yes.

This woman has one of the best discography’s in Pop history. Please stop tainting it. People said the same thing about S&S and Pretty Girls and many others. These are real overdramatic takes. She has plenty of songs that are worse than this. Exactly - like I'm not asking everyone to love it, but the overdramatic reaction of "OMG this is the WORST thing She's EVER DONE! TAINTING HER LEGACY!!!" is just so over the top. It's literally just like Scream & Shout 2023.

this is garbage.
at least Scream & Shout and Pretty Girls were somewhat on-trend. there's nothing saving this.

And not just here - the overdramatics about it "tainting" her discography are also in this thread as well. I'm literally saying it's not that serious.

Scream & Shout was okay, but it at least had good production (except the drop) and normal sounding vocals, even if the verse lyrics were meh. It also sounded like they tried. This is on the other hand is a half baked, repetitive piece of trash, I'm sorry. The 'lyrics' make no sense and just aren't good. If they spent an hour on this I wouldn't be surprised. If people like it, then great, but I wouldn't remotely compare it to Scream & Shout. The only good thing about this song is the very end with the choir, and the fact it's over 3 minutes
I also forget people not liking Hold Me Closer? That was one of the best songs of the year!

I’m not really mad at this, it was made for Tik Tok, and I think that much is obvious. He made this to go viral.
I’m wondering if the reaction to the quality of the song, is more of a generational thing, or simply because musically Britney was above a lot of trendiness at her prime? When I look at the charts now this seems like what you’d expect from a regular pop track on the radio. Had Bebe, Kim, a K-Pop act sang this I don’t think anyone would bat an eyelash.
I could even see Gwen doing something like this, she basically did this cringe-worthiness a few years back with Slow Clap.
I’m sort of just shrugging to this, because I actually think this could do fairly well in this music climate, where all music is, is sound bites on dance apps.

The more I think about it Britney's vocals almost feel like they used Britney voice AI over Myah Marie's voice lmao. It has like a very flat and rough quality to it that AI voiced songs often have.

I think the dead giveaway that its definitely britney is the London/Hollywood line. Her vocals aren't really produced there and it sounds like raw stuff we've heard from her before.

I find something new to love about this shitshow every single time
“paparazzi shot me, I’m the economy”
“you know what happens when the dogs come out, none of your business”

“paparazzi shot me, I’m the economy” She’s got a point. She’s an icon. She’s a legend. And she is the moment. Now come on now.

Agree the economy line is a slapper. It’s the new American Dream, and Governor line of the 2020’s.
This is Scream & Shout 2.0 for the Gen Z crowd.

well... I'm glad my expectations were pretty low already =P
I actually don't think it's as bad as Scream & Shout (by far the worst single she has ever put out in my opinion) but it's definitely up there with Pretty Girls as some of her worst singles.
Even though I think is unlikely, I still hope she gets some success with this... she gave us Glory after the Britney Jean fiasco and the couple of singles after it, so there's still hope for the future (if she ever decides to continue putting out music)

will.i.am sucks but I love Britney's entire verse about the dogs coming out. I don't know what the hell she's talking about but she's got a point, she's an icon, she's a legend and she is the moment

At this rate (re: Britney Jean reject), I'm expecting the worst nightmare to happen in the credits. • Produced by will.i.am • Vocal production by Anthony Preston • Background vocals by Myah Marie Well...

I’m not convinced this ain’t AI on top of it sounding like her part was mixed on a dusty Acer laptop. I’ll live never hearing this again.
