This is excellent aside from when she starts trying to belt for a second at 2:40 and reveals just how poor of a singer she is. That brutal hiccup aside.. That ain't her.

For me, this is having the same effect as It Ain't Me. Love the chorus (IAM's instrumental parts), but not the rest of the song.

This sounds like a Britney throwaway ballad that would be at the bottom of an album in 2009.
This definitely makes me wonder, where is pop music headed? Everything is so downtempo and chill compared to the start of this decade, and this just pushes us further.

This is kind of a strange one. I kind of like it. However at the 2:40 mark she (belts??) out the line "Oh Baby let's Make" (reality) There sounds like somethings wrong with her. I can see people hating this song and being irked by it. In my opinion the chorus is very catchy and gets stuck in your head easily. Maybe that alone and the fact Selena is pretty hot right now that it will do ok.

She REALLY seems to be getting promo from Spotify as for the first time ever they included a video in the Today's Top Hits playlist, put her on the top of it and they also changed its layout and updated it two days earlier. Wow.

A+. Selena has always been good for some left-field pop songs. But Glory's influence is REAL.

If it wasn't for her vocal, I'd be completely on board (I cringe every time during the chorus and especially the "with my feelings on fire..." she sounds HORRIBLE). Someone get this girl a vocal coach and a better pro tool engineer.
The song itself is kind of a breath of fresh air otherwise.

I read all of these comments and THEN listened to it (which is my favorite thing about pulse, taking a song where people seem split and guessing what I'll think).
And...
I...
Love this.
I was honestly expecting to hate it based on comments haha.

But Glory's Julia Michaels & Justin Tranter's influence is REAL. Same thing tho right?

Love the verses. Love the production. The chorus doesn't quite live up to the rest of the song though.
I'm really enjoying this though... I think this and Malibu are the freshest songs at the moment. They fit their artists perfectly and fit the current pop landscape but still manage to sound like nothing else.

This is interesting. Sounds like a continuation of Revival, but maybe a bit more unique or pushing the envelope a bit more. The most jarring part is where they try to make it sound like she can sing better than she can lol.

This is pretty different. It has good replay value, nice, not-in-your-face bop (I think Cheerleader or What Do You Mean?). These type of songs generally do quite well. It Ain't Me is my favourite song she's ever done though. #whiskeyneat

This is like a 2017 version of "Tom's Diner." I actually dig it, it's quite brave.
