Decent song but why is she slurring out verses like that? Same thing with "In My Blood". Is that half-asleep enunciation supposed to make it relatable or what

I don't know, the melody in the verses is so disjointed and hard to get into. The production is nice and overall it's a decent song, but it's not what I was hoping for.

I think this has a Clear Channel deal today. My local station is playing this on the hour every hour today.

It literally bored me to death, which is exactly what I needed right now. Hope she has something interesting on the album. Even 1-800 was less depressing that this.

That last part felt like a bridge to the final chorus but the song just kind of ends

Just got round to listening to this. It definitely sounds like it could have come from Know-It-All, but I really like it. Not quite as good as the highs from her debut, though. Still, I hope this gets big.

I like it! The lyrics and vocals are great, especially the “ooh” background vocals. My only issue is the instrumental. It feels like they took Scars To Your Beautiful, removed all of the parts of it that were good and used that. I was waiting for some strings and bass to kick in in the first pre chorus to lead into a strong chorus but I was left feeling very unsatisfied after the drop, and that continued for the rest of the song in terms of the instrumental One complaint only, the song feels rather short after the spoken short outro after "No Bandaid's" , so I wished she went out vocally with an octave change and she would turn it up a notch with an emotive vocal delivery but she held back sadly. It left me wanting more!!! Ughh I completely agree. I feel it would have been a perfect spot for a euphoric, semitone or two higher last chorus. I could feel it coming and I was preparing myself.. and then it ended. It wasn’t like No Tears Left To Cry or Mine where it ended short but you were still satisfied while being left craving more, it was just so sudden. It was a pretty terrible ending, to be honest

She should have just Radar'd "I'm Yours" and released that as the first single.

Which song does it sound like most? She did say that this era was going to be similar to her last... I really want her to break out of her comfort zone and go in a Lorde style. I can actually hear a bit of Lorde in this track. I don't love this yet. Well, most of her solo singles from the past album took quite a while before they grew on me big time. Except for “I'm Yours” which wasn't a single. I see GP more as a bridge from her first era given that its sound is a mish-mash of the tracks from the debut. Hopefully the next single would be more of a transition towards a bit more mature (but uniquely hers) sound.

Big Cara fan here. This is a misstep. Not lead single material. Struggling on iTunes as well.

NPI but not hearing much growth with this one; wasn’t wanting or expecting a Here retread but this just sounds like a b-side from her debut. Was hoping for something that felt a little fresher.

I’m surprised people are so lukewarm on this. Yeah it sounds like it could be from her first album, but the general public probably doesn’t know or care about the lack of growth. I do think that if this was on her first album it would be one of the less single-ready tracks, but that’s mainly because of how many single-ready tracks there are on it (only going three deep was a huge mistake imo) and it still sounds fairly memorable and radio-friendly in its own right. Really my only problem with it is the abrupt ending, but that can be fixed with a radio edit I suppose. I’ll predict a peak of #13 on the hot 100 and #1 on CHR, because CHR seems to loooove her.
Also I was just listening to her first album and I realized how much of an outlier Here is in her discography. How many people become a star after their first single is so different sounding from their other ones?

Don't understand the hate, or rather the lukewarm reception either. Like I said it's not anything different for her, but it's still a good song. Decent day 1 Spotify numbers too.

Not doing well compared to the singles from her last album. As the Grammy winner of Best New Artist, I’m surprised to see she is not doing better.

This is one of the least memorable, borderline terrible songs i think I’ve ever heard
I can not recall a single melody and I’ve heard it about 5 times on pop radio already
This chick has to be one of the most overrated acts in music of recent times. I mean, do you really think this is “Best New Artist” material? Maybe if it were your local high school talent show....

I hope this isn’t what happens to her but people who have won have historically not had much longevity in their careers.

That's all bullshit, plenty of artists have won that award and had great longevity. Adele, The Beatles, Mariah Carey, Maroon 5, Christina Aguilera, Carrie Underwood, Alicia Keys, Sheryl Crow, etc. The reason many winners don't have further success is because the Grammy's give the award to artists that have one good break-out year and no commercial success afterwards, that isn't some curse. I don't think Meghan Trainor or Macklemore would be doing amazing right now even without the Grammy.
