This song is AMAZING! I love the Psycho Killer bass line and everything about this song, including the bizarre lyrics and vocals. When Queen Julia comes in screeching in the bridge, I lose it! Speaking of Julia, she is the BEST thing that ever happened to Selene. This is her best yet.

I think what I like about this is that I can't imagine anyone else singing (speaking) it but Selena. She's taking risks, she's found her niche - it's not as polarizing as I was fearing it could be and it's catchy in all the right places.

She's stabilized on iTunes (and is actually rising again), and she's off to a great start on radio. Her stans are super upset she didn't perform at the BBMAs, but honestly, I don't know how much it would have helped. The show was a mess, and no one gained that much on iTunes except Miley and Imagine Dragons. Camila's still below Selena, even after performing at the BBMAs :kii: Promo would be great, but I trust she'll do it when she needs to i.e. closer to an album release.

I love this so much now I don't know what to really do with myself. It's so breezy haha I don't know how else to describe the greatness. The Talking Heads sample is a genius move, and there are almost like 3 different hooks in the chorus. I'm really impressed by Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels right now and think they craft seriously well-produced pop songs, and this is the best example of that to me. I really hope this ends up being her most successful song.

Didn't her team announce a break in March or April of this year?! No, that never happened. I tried searching for an article to corroborate that but everything was about the break she took from August to December last year. She was also promoting 13 Reasons Why in March/April, so I don't think that announcement happened... www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/7736500/selena-gomez-surprises-high-school-students-world-kindness-day-step-up-foundation-coachIn a discussion with Todayβs Sheinelle Jones, Gomez explained that she's putting a pause on making music to focus on other things that are important to her. βIβm taking time to have a personal life,β she said. βIβm doing things that I love that Iβm passionate about that I care aboutβ¦it just makes me happy.β

Billboard's story isn't quite right; it's an inference by the writer that proved false. She said "I'm taking my time" and then "I'm taking time to have a personal life", but she never actually said she wasn't making music or that she was taking an official break from her career.

I love this. One part why it works so well is that Selena's voice quirkiness complement the song's quirkiness to make a very unique sound that I can't imagine anybody else pulls off. Selena's vocal might not be the strongest, but I'll be damned if it's not unique.

I'm as surprised as the next guy, but this song places her as the most musically interesting popstar of her generation.

In this song, she goes above and beyond mere imitation. She invited Julia to actually sing the bridge. She is the REAL Generous Queen. My only question is why would Julia purposely make her sound so...bad? I guess since we are only used to Selene cooing and sighing hmmms, Julia wanted us to believe that when Miss Gomez actually opens her mouth, THAT is the noise that comes out. She tried it.

So Julia is the poor soul at 2:40 who finds out they miscarried and makes a guttural noise?

In the end, I couldn't help myself and now I feel terrible.

Other than that brief moment where she is out of tune at 0:35, it is pretty good

I know the first week won't make or break this, but I'm surprised by how relatively low its first week spins were. It only matched "It Ain't Me" and came in below most other recent songs with radio deals. "Good For You" had a similar first day to this and ended up around 4700 spins for its first week. This seems to be a fairly polarizing song, but I wouldn't think that would affect the first week much.
