This was an obvious 4th single. Actually it should've been third but still. Not one of my favorites but they couldn't end the era without it as a single.

Why is she/her team so bad at picking singles? π

It passed 100 million streams on Spotify recently, for what it's worth.

Not a fan of this song at all, nor do I think it'll do well. Her team has consistently picked the worst choices possible. At this point, I'm just hoping they don't end the era after this and we see a Cruel Summer release.

I agree. This probably won't do so well.

Yall are so negative. I don't love the lyrical content in this but you can't deny how catchy it is. It's definitely a hate to love type song.

I love this!
If it flops it will truly be full confirmation that the world is sexist, that men rule, and that Beyonce was a fucking liar.

She probably should have led with this single. I certainly see why they are doing this as a 'go big or go home."
Might be best to rely, though, on a sleeper hit like "I Forgot You Existed" or "Cruel Summer. In that case they'd run the risk of the chart run dying before it even begins.

Even though I doubt it will, I hope this does well. It has a stellar message, and contributes to a very important conversation.

Omg Iβm so glad they went with this! Will probably flop on callout scores because sexism but I can definitely see this making a big impact outside of radio. That bridge!

It's fascinating how polarizing the response is to this being a single. I can see this doing just as well as the first three singles (considering total performance, maybe not peak), maybe even better if the song gets the video it deserves.

Is this my favorite off of Lover? Absolutely not. Did I expect them to push "Death by a Thousand Cuts" aka one of Taylor's Top 3 songs ever? No. Locals are not ready for that.
I'm hoping for a female rapper to jump on the song & a good music video. Don't think it will get a new Hot 100 peak without those.

Probably the worst single she has released. Cruel Summer or Miss Americana would have been a better choice.

This song has definitely grown on me since the album came out. The bridge in particular is one of the best on the album. Is it the best choice for a single? Nope. But itβs far from a bad one.

This has long seemed like one of the more buzzed-about album cuts from Lover, so this choice doesn't surprise me at all. Not sure anything she releases at this point would be a huge smash, but I can see this one potentially performing about on par with "Lover" on CHR and getting a peak in the mid teens at least, which I think would be considered a victory for her at this stage of the album cycle. Looking forward to the video because she always brings it with the visuals.

This NEEDS a fantastic video to push it over the edge. The Grammy performance would've done some damage but unfortunately she bowed out, which I'm glad she did with all the sh!t hitting the fan. I'm happy this is a single though. I was skeptical, but the world needs it.
Won't be getting any streams from petty, delusional, and misogynist men, however.

I'm seeing this as a good single choice. I felt it was always between this and "Cruel Summer" (with "Miss Americana..." thrown in possibly because of the Netflix documentary timing). I can see them wanting to do "Cruel Summer" closer to the summer, so imo this was the front runner for the single all along. I do really like it, and actually think it is a really good choice. It might have worked better as a lead single, but there's no reason to think it won't be at least moderately successful now.

I personally don't believe there will be another single after this. Especially since it's the streaming era.
