Why am I kind of HERE FOR THIS?! 💀
The era has started out so chaotic. It’s amazing. But she seems sweet and I hope she finds her place.

With how much promo she's been doing for this song I'd be surprised if this doesn't get sent to pop

Why does this feel like the Gen Z version of "Rumors" by Lindsay Lohan?
I don't like her voice at all.

The video is one of the worst most confusing things I’ve ever seen in my life but I’m lowkey living for the song. High camp.

This song is catchy in a way that I really would not like it to be given my very polarizing, unpopular, profane, offensive opinion of Jojo as a person. The song is derivative and unimaginative yet would have felt perfectly at home on Blackout, Born This Way, and MDNA. If it were by ANYONE ELSE, I would absolutely ship this but based on my principles and scruples, I cannot and will not. .
The French art film atmosphere while high on mid priced crystal meth aesthetic of the music video with the dated choreography and Party City costumes and wigs was quite riveting.

What did she do or is accused of???? I only knew her from “Dance Moms” and then saw some young girls wearing her backpacks a few years after the show ended only to find out she was huge on YouTube?? |

There were accusations that she and her mom were mistreating the girls in the girl group that she has. www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/jojo-siwa-xomg-pop-dancers-physical-mental-torment-1234967431/amp/ |

Is it just me or does she sounds kind of like Demi Lovato in the verses?
Gives me Demi meets late 00s/early 10s Ke$ha/Cascada.
Video is a choice, but ngl the chorus is quite catchy.

If she didn’t still sound 12 when she’s singing, I could almost consider possibly getting into this.

Talk about environmentally friendly lmao; aside from this supposedly being an unreleased Miley song from 2011, a version from 2012 recorded by Brit Smith (and produced by Timbaland) is now circulating. The Brit Smith version (complete with music video) has apparently been on Vimeo for 11 years with zero views until now lmao.
Tbh the Timbaland version by Brit Smith sounds like a hit that got away. This JoJo version is limp and dated.

What a cringe situation through and through, the lyrics are soo basic and boring and all the interview clips I have seen make her seem so not down-to-earth for no reason, this is flopping and rightfully so, why is she famous anyways ☠️

if camila can get away w her voice, jojo can release too i suppose. the song itself is fine, jojo’s voice almost takes away from how catchy the hook is.

I saw someone call this "when you order Reputation on Shein"  The fact that this is supposed to be her big grown-up popstar moment, and they bought a demo that's been sitting on soundcloud since 2011 And somehow the demo sounds less dated than the official version https%3A//soundcloud.com/judahjudah/brit-smith-karmas-a-bitch%3Futm_source%3Dclipboard%26amp%3Butm_medium%3Dtext%26amp%3Butm_campaign%3Dsocial_sharing |

She has said that she wrote and re-wrote the song as needed. |

That's where it gets murky I think; I admit I haven't gone out of my way to look up press she's done for the song, but the impression I get from what I have seen is that she's insinuating she was way more involved in the creation of the song than she actually was (including being part of the writing process, which obviously she wasn't since this song was written at least 13 years ago).
There is one demonstrable falsehood I can find, JoJo sat down for a video with Billboard talking about the song, and at one point she says the bridge was originally a single sustained note that she then switched up to have an actual melody - only, the bridge in JoJo's version is note-for-note identical to Brit's version so she definitely did not do anything to the melody. The one scenario I might consider is that Rock Mafia played her an early/writer's demo that did have a one-note bridge, but she still didn't come up with the melody for that part.
Either way I feel like she's living in some kind of bubble where she doesn't realize that the internet can easily fact-check anything and everything she says about her music, and that's where she's running into so much pushback (ie. seemingly taking credit for things she never did and acting as though she's some great pop pioneer when nothing she's been doing is new, or original, or nearly as groundbreaking as she suggests). And that's before getting into all the other shit she's caught up in.
