What an anthem. Bring it on, gurl, even if you have little to no charisma, your team is top-notch.

This is beyond generic. It honestly feels like the same song that has been done over and over again in the past 5 years.

This is way too Sia, it really does sound like she's mimicking her. But it's also incredibly safe and radio friendly, could end up being a hit for her. I would rather have this with Sia on lead vocals and then Camila could act it out on stage. I agree. Sounds like shes trying to be Sia.

This is okay. Engaging enough to draw in listeners, safe enough to attract radio programmers, but just a tad too generic to really be a big smash.
So, you know, just like any Fifth Harmony track not titled "Work from Home."

This has some real hit potential but it almost feels like a Pyrrhic victory...it sounds like a hit because it sounds like Sia (it's really common for people who take on Sia-penned songs to end up copying her inflections as it is, but Camila literally sounds like she is trying to be Sia down to the tone). What is Camila going to do when it's time to sound like herself?
I liked this song immediately but realized it's because I never liked Camila's voice, and the production pretty much erases everything that makes Camila's voice so distinctive.

I havent heard this song yet, but... why did she have to release her song the same day and time as Liam Payne? If I am Liam, I would be pissed, right? Regardless though, I am interested in listening to them both, will do it tomorrow.

Regardless though, I am interested in listening to them both, will do it tomorrow. I'm sure it wasn't planned and by the time either team found out, they either didn't care (because they really won't affect each other) or it was too late to change promo dates. Also, Katy Perry, Selena Gomez, and Bebe Rexha dropped this weekend as well, so it's just a jam packed weekend all around.

This is a strong lead IMO and sounds like a big hit tbh.Yes, she sounds like Sia, but who cares? She isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.
I too don't get the hate for this girl so I hope it smashes hard to piss people off :)

I love the "Genie in a Bottle" sample. However, this song is too "Sia". I was expecting something more explosive, like "Blank Space". Maybe it will grow on me.

I like and bought it but wish I liked it more. I think it's going to be more of a grower for me. I was hoping for a more typical bop if that makes sense. Something similar to her song with Pitbull "Hey Ma".

I'm surprised this isn't higher on iTunes. The 5H fanbase (half of which were solely Camila fans) are rabid when it comes to buying a lead single. Liam leapfrogged her real quick.

Looking at the whole backlash she recieves for leaving the group I'm not that surprised, Liam Payne is definetely less controversial than her.

I guess, but Liam was arguably the least popular member of 1D.

According to a promo email, this is impacting now Pop and Hot AC The flyer sent through e-mail by Epic also confirmed that she's performing this at the BBMAs. I think that this was implied when the encore performace of "I Have Questions" was announced, but still. Anyway, I'm wondering if she's going to sing this like Sia or not. The opening melody (first two seconds) is literally "Be The One" Dua Lipa, her impact! :'(

Reading the comments here I was like, "How in the world is she going to sound like Sia? They're completely different vocally." But then I listened and y'all weren't joking.
This isn't bad, but it's not anything incredible either. I could see radio taking it or leaving it

Poor man's "Shape of You" meets Sia. It's alright, not as good as I was hoping it to be.

This is pure Sia.
Not bad, but this is incredibly faceless for Camila.
