It's like she's doing an imitation of the weeknd. Definitely better than focus

This sounds like Alicia Keys. Good song.

I feel like it should go faster?
Like I feel like it was slowed down... I think it's one that will grow on me.
Focus was a disaster but I loved it haha

I really don't know how I feel about this. It's dated, and not in a good way. There's something really cheesy and cheap about it. But one thing is for sure. This girl can sing her ass off. That last chorus is phenomenal.

So just listened. I like it, not what I expected from her at all. Doesn't sound like a smash hit though

Hmm it seems like its missing something. Maybe it'll grow on my it seems really slow in the intro, not bad when the chorus kicks in. I was hopingto hear to hear something a little more instant. This doesnt scream hit, maybe the second single is going to be her smash.

This isn't bad, but it definitely could have been better imo. It's not really instant, but it has its more interesting qualities. Most of them just could have been executed better.

The song sounds like it could've been part of Christina Aguilera's "Stripped" era.

It's alright. Not single worthy though in my opinion.

Risky choice. Might just pay off.
The full thing is much better than the snippets lead me to believe, but I'm also really annoyed because the production during the chorus isn't nearly as strong as it could've been. It's a damn shame, because it's distracting me from one hell of a vocal performance during the last one. Wouldn't have minded an increase in tempo either. All that aside, this is good.
Edit: ok yeah I don't like the vocoder bit. So out of place.

Fuck sakes. Let this song be the blueprint example of why we can't trust snippets. It's good, and it's a departure from the past material, while Focus was substandard rehash.

Ugh this is SO good! My only wish was that bridge guitar riff (?/I suck at instruments) was looped at the end of the last chorus, but w/e. Her vocals are amazing!
Edit: #4 on iTunes!

After a couple listens, not a big fan of this. In the morning, I will give this some more listens

I'm lovin' this. So good. It makes you forget about how bad "Focus" was. This is a big step up from that. Can't wait for the album and SNL on Saturday for the performance.

I wasn't a fan of the snippet, but I like the full version. I was not expecting something like this. f**k sakes. Let this song be the blueprint example of why we can't trust snippets. It's good, and it's a departure from the past material, while Focus was substandard rehash. I wonder if they released that particular snippet to throw people off and then when the final version comes out, everyone re-evaluates what they thought of it.

Not loving it on first listen but I'll take this over Focus for sure. She's serving vocals towards the end. But...is it the vocoder that is making her sound like Britney in the verses and parts of the chorus?

Why are so many people dismissing this so fast when we haven't heard it in full yet? If someone was to play a clip of only the second verse and drop of Don't Let Me Down (Chainsmokers feat. Daya) I wouldn't be able to stand the song, but hearing it in full, I see more elements of the song and love it. Anyway, #3 on iTunes! Can't wait for her performances tomorrow

It's OK. Better than Focus.
Will it be a huge hit? No. But I am glad she's doing something different.
