This song is going to be huge.
I have never had reactions from friends before like this. Plus its actually a good pop song.

Just amazing. Sounds familiar but also so fresh. I wish the parts towards the end was longer though. And in addition to her usual crowd, i think she's also gonna appeal to a newer one with this.

A continuation of her sound from Future Nostalgia for sure, nothing revolutionary, but another example of what she does best and I like it! She's definitely (in my eyes) giving "Katy Perry" of 2023 in the sense she knows how to deliver inoffensive, widely accessible hook-filled earworms with hit after hit, despite not really tethering a personal connection with listeners as she (the artist) almost takes a backseat to the songs themselves (at least thus far). I feel most of her hits could honestly just as easily be sung by any number of other artists. I hope that facet of her career develops going forward.
Regardless this is gonna be big of course and set this new era up nicely for success!

top 50 in 6 hours is a really good debut. if you average that number out to 24 hours it would debut at #38.

I’m not tooootally LOVING it (yet), but damn if this isn’t radio killer I don’t know what is. It’s incredibly infectious and you just want to listen to it again. That “catch me or I go houdini” hook-line is undeniable.

The video is very simple, but I find it way more effective than any of the FN videos. There's definitely a growth in confidence as a performer.

It's not too far out from the Future Nostalgia sound that solidified her hitmaker status (globally she had hits with her first album but FN was a step up from that imo). I can definitely hear Kevin Parker's influences throughout the song (which I really like). I wasn't convinced by the chorus when I first heard it but it works. Overall I think she chose a very good direction to move into and a very good song to lead off the new project.

This gets better with each listen. It’s amazing to see how Dua has grown as a performer over time. Her FN tour is still one of the best, high-energy concerts I’ve ever been to. I’m excited to hear the rest of the album.

Really hope this is a hit. Should we be worried that it didn’t chart on US Spotify top 200 yet? Either way I’m not too worried about its debut because it should be a slow burn.

This isn't showing up on TTH for me... I see that she has the banner, but the song itself isn't there. Is it just my Spotify or is this a widespread issue? It's weird because I can play the song, already added it to my own playlist.

This is really fine, nothing fantastic or groundbreaking, but I get that people are thirsty for some good pop hits this year. I was hoping she'd switch the sound a bit because it's not much different from her 2019-2023 songs.

Dua’s first single to really smash out the gate. The video is at 9m in 16 hours and streams are doubling Dsn debut. And with her usual radi deals, TTH residency, payola etc she is coming for a top 10 debut.

I wonder if she purposely makes these slow burners where the hook won't get stuck until you listen to it 5-10 times

First song by her that didn’t do anything for me. It’s too bland, doesn’t go anywhere, it’s nothing new or exciting and I don’t like the way she sings “Houdini”.

This reminds me of the more aggressive rock type disco like Donna Summer, it's a good evolution from Future Nostalgia. I just hope there's more weirder cuts on the album, especially since Kevin Parker is working on the album.
