Didn't like it at first but it's grown on me a lot! Hope it goes at least top 10 on pop.

this is better than Single Soon, but still not great. I remember when I liked almost every SG 2015-2018 song, she definitely lost it for me. I'll always check for her new music, but without high expectations.

Oh she gagged it a lil bit! Love the production and the chorus! Solid follow up from SS.

She has nowhere near the personality needed to pull off those verses. AI would have done better.
The rest is alright even if not among her best. My favorite singles from her have been the quirkier ones.

I think it would have been better if she'd sung the verses regularly. She tried to be different, but it wasn't necessary. The chorus and hook are book solid, though.

Better than Single Soon. I like the Dance Pop vibe to this.

I kinda like the chorus, but I prefer Single Soon at least first listen.

The pre-chorus and chorus are nice. But the verses... I'm still not sure how to feel about them. Not the talk-singing approach necessarily, but the vocal production/mixing is horrific. Is that "steak tar tar" line even being said by a human?

I really like this. I like the quirky talk/singing. The production is nice too. Very smooth and breezy.

I... can see why she's thinking about ditching music. Honestly if "Calm Down" hadn't been such a hit she would have probably left already. There's no passion on either of these two songs she's dropped since.

It's catchy and I agree the verses are not that good. Needs to grow on me The music video helped me to enjoy more the song.

KIIS played it just now to kick off the 8am hour for New Music Friday! I get the comparisons to Feather, but I kind of feel like Love On has a lot going on. Whereas Feather is way more pleasant and elegant of a song. Hard to tell how this will do..

This could grow on me, but currently I think Single Soon is better than this.

The definition of mid, just like the rest of her music (aside from her 2017 droplet era). I don't really see what's the big deal with Selena Gomez honestly, I don't get why she's stayed so relevant musically for this long, all her music is just mid and she hasn't really tried to push herself artistically like her contemporaries like Demi, Miley or Taylor.

I’m clearly in the minority but I actually think this is fun and refreshing for her, and the verses work for me.

I enjoy this. The steak tartare verse might actually be the highlight for me, it’s ridiculously addictive. Emphasis on ridiculous. Certainly a lot more memorable than Single Soon.

I truly do not understand this argument. I think she’s objectively more versatile than her Disney peers. This decade alone, she’s collaborated with K-Pop and Afrobeats artists on songs that are very much rooted in their respective genres, released an EP entirely in Spanish, and even explored some R&B on Rare ("Crowded Room"). I can’t imagine hearing Miley Cyrus on an Afrobeats song or Demi Lovato on a K-Pop song. Her music and her voice certainly isn’t for everyone, but she’s much more willing to experiment than a lot of people give her credit for.

Give credit to her, she knows her boundaries. She ain't trying to be Adele. I'd say she's more in tune with what sound works for her, than, say, Demi who's actually been regressing creatively for years now with no stop in sight. The problem here isn't Selena herself, is the aggresively mediocre material.

I don't know how people find this mid. It's so funky and fun, and I love the talk-singing clunkiness of the verses!

That’s... decent. I don’t this’ll trend downward and collapse the way “Single Soon” did.
Plus, being #22 on Today’s Top Hits is just ridiculous. I don’t know what beef Spotify has with Interscope, but that playlist regularly f*cks over their artists unless they put out a major hit (“Calm Down”, “vampire”, “Happier Than Ever”).
