Pass. She’s too far along to play this safe.

Just heard this, this is just ok to me. I dont see this being a huge hit for her. Will probably peak around 15 to 25 on Mediabase. I'm still rooting for her though.

I actually like it. The production and her vocals are on point and I'm glad Katy is doing it in a casual way this time (as "Bon Appetit" should've). Overall it works pretty well as an under-3-minute track and should benefit from being a cute radio/playlist filler.

I hear Charlie all over this and I like it. Very minimal, but just the right amount of umph. 2/2.

It’s chill and cute, not mind blowing but will be another moderate hit for Katy

I like it! It's short and sweet and catchy enough that the length should bode well for streaming. Katheryn is not to be counted out just yet!

I understand why this could be seen as a continuation and/or a sister to NRO. That being said, I’m not impressed. It’s just okay, not what she needs if she wants to have a smash. I predict a Top 15-20 peak on Pop.

I’m gonna let this one grow on me a bit first. Yep. This isn't as instant for me as her songs usually are (I've been obsessed with NRO since day one), but I'm sure it will grow.

Very wordy/clunky (some of those lyrics are awful). Not as instant or as good as "Never Really Over" and a grower is the last thing she needs. It's just ok. I was kind of expecting more from the clip earlier. I don't see it performing as well as "Never Really Over", which is unfortunate.

I like it too! It clicked with the 2nd listen. It feels like a lost CRJ song. I like the pre-chorus part the most.

This uh... not gonna lie is pretty mediocre lol. I don't know how to describe it, it's just a flat song that isn't nice enough sounding to justify it. It's not bad by any stretch but just missing anything for me to truly say I liked it.
Those lyrics don't help matters either :/

The beat sounds off a smidge during the first chorus to me?

Whoa this is awful apart from the pre-chorus which sounds very good! Wonder why the chorus is sooooo super weak.
I listened to Only Human by Jonas Brothers after this and man Katy and her team should take notes!

It’s good and gets better as the song progresses, but I much prefer Never Really Over - and I can’t see this doing any better than that did. Also, the song reminds me a lot of this:

Just OK to me on first listen, and I really wanted to love it... Maybe it will grow on me.

It's a cute album track...and very reminiscent of Puth's "..and that's just the way i am"

The verses are wordy and clunky. They don't really work that well, tbh. The chorus is okay, not bad or anything, just not very memorable. The "strangers to lovers to strangers" bit is by far the highlight of the songwriting here. The melody there is infectious. The last 20 seconds are pretty great production wise.
Overall, it would make a fine album track around track number, like, 7, but as a single? Definitely not a solid choice. "Never Really Over" is far superior to this and even with pure pop not really being "in" right now, I still think this won't do nearly as well as that. It's a cute track, but I'm just not sure why anyone felt it was strong enough to be a single.
