This is just one of those songs where it is just there. Not bad or good.

This is so bland and vanilla. There is literally nothing to it. Itβs just there.

It isn't any worst than your average Ariana Grande song yet this will get trashed because of who it's by.

This is pretty safe from both of them, but I expect my local radio stations to jump on this and to be played constantly in the following months. Β―\_(γ)_/Β― As a side note, I think Cheryl did it better though~

Don't let me down, Edward. You've let me down, Edward. Can't believe you've gone the Shape of You re-hash route. Not bad, but not good either.

Basic and soulless, but that never stopped their material from smashing in the past. This is gonna be huge.

Iβm really hoping for a number one debut. As much as I like Old Town Road I like number one variety so much more. Yeah this is basic but that never stopped a song from going number one before. Remember Closer?

It's not bad, but it's not good. It's just meh. But radio will love (and it's already loving given the updates) this.

This is generic and dull. They both sound lazy but their fans will eat it up anyways.

Normally Iβm not so critical of a song I donβt like, but there is nothing I like about it. Nothing. It is incredibly dull. It isnβt vanilla, as that would imply it has a flavor. More like stale air in a musty hotel room that hasnβt been occupied in a month. You breathe it in through your mouth, it tastes like nothing (as expected), but you can tell something is wrong.
Two newlyweds singing about their respective babies making them feel good...if you wanna listen to a song about your SO making the BS melt, play βFocusβ by Allie X.

I mean, if it has to be promoted on a music board, I guess everyone said NO.?

Iβve seen comparisons of how this is (or will) perform to ME! and while I think theyβre apt, one major difference to me that I still think is relevant is that this isnβt (yet) the lead of an album era for either artist. One-off singles can be hit or miss regardless of who the artist is. I think when a song is the first single from an album, itβs seen as a huge event and expectations are high no matter what. One-off singles can go either way because thereβs no pressure for them to do well in that they donβt exist to serve a parent album.
I came into this with high expectations but listening to it three times so far, I remember nothing about it. Not a thing. But it could very well be one of the hits of the summer simply by blending in and being there. Itβs exploding on radio though. The perfect radio filler.

This feels specially crafted to be boring. Like, they wanted to make literally zero impact in any way with this and people will forget this the second they stop listening to it. Sometimes radio loves that-like, a way to have a song that is like dead air but not dead air lol.

This is actually what I kinda expected from them two. After everyone deemed "Shape of You" the better choice for a lead single over "Castle On the Hill" I knew music was doomed for a while.
While this is a bit underwhelming, I much prefer this to "Shape of You."

This is tragically bland, dull and generic just like half of Ed's discography.
