Well unless there is a remix I don't see this doing much. I think best case scenario it has a similar run to New Romantics.

Just curious but why do so many people dislike this song? Is it the just lyrical content or is it the sound or a combination of both?
Just wondering because I love this song and would love hearing it on the radio lol.

Well Pulse hates it, which means it will likely do well afterall. lol
I hope from the jump they start this run with a fresh remix with a feature to revitalize interest and give this song the much-needed extra oomph it needs. Regardless, not like we all didn't see this coming a mile away.

Regardless, not like we all didn't see this coming a mile away. Nobody hates this we r just realistic and know this will flop I think top 20 on the Hot 100 and top 15 on pop radio are both achievable given this is pushed correctly and those peaks would take this out of flop territory (or if it spent umpteen months in the lower teens ala "Lover"). Surely people aren't still under the top 10 or bust ("flop") for her at this point (particularly after her last album cycle). Still, she has yet to have a true flop this era commercially speaking and the album is looking at an eventual 3x platinum certification, so I am sure she will be fine regardless. At this point the singles are cosmetic in nature (not a make or break for the success of the project).

Not a bad single choice at all,This has been hinted at as a single since the beginning of the era when Taylor starting wearing the suits.It just needs a remix to get it off to a fast start. At least there is finally a single after "Lover", Glad to see Taylor's era just keep going.

Definitely thought this one would be next and I'm not mad about it, especially if there is a remix with someone like Lizzo or Megan.

Elvis Duran better make sure Z100 plays the hell out of this since he's been yapping about this being his favorite on the album since before the release.

So they finally annouced this one as a single? I personally really love this one but I'm also feeling (alongside many posters) that this will be pretty polarizing.

Just curious but why do so many people dislike this song? Is it the just lyrical content or is it the sound or a combination of both? Just wondering because I love this song and would love hearing it on the radio lol. I think more people like this song than not. Yet radio will probably be hesitant to play something with this strong a message. Now a logical person would ask: Why would radio be hesitant? The answer lies within radio itself as even country radio won't play women back to back, now imagine if one of those women actually had a song with a message like The Man (then again Girl in a Country Song does just that and that was a number 1 hit so in reality we all don't know anything lmao). It just doesn't seem like we'll be talking about how this is top 5 in pop in the future, and something with as strong a message as this song can get tiring for listeners after they understand her point and hear it 5 more times that day on radio. In the end, I think I speak for most people (myself included) when we say we want the song to do well. We just don't predict it to do that, yet it probably won't flop either. Somewhere in the middle (top 15 pop, Top 25 Billboard with a remix) is probably the most logical.

Wouldn't be surprised if you all are wrong judging this to flop. This song is so catchy.

I feel like the production is missing something on this one. I don't know what though.

I’d absolutely love to be wrong, but I just can’t see this going well. Statement songs almost never perform well on radio, even if they should, and she just doesn’t have the momentum to change that. Props for taking a risk I guess, but I’d rather a safer option.

If Halsey didn’t have a new single out, I would’ve put my bet on a remix with her.

I don’t even know if they’ve interacted but last night I had a random thought of a remix featuring Little Mix. Obviously it’s not realistic but I’d still love to see it.

ugh, was afraid they'd choose this. it's probably the second most radio friendly track behind Cruel Summer so i get where they're coming from, but this is not the type of song taylor needs right now. maybe if YNTCD didn't exist this could work, but considering Lover's response from radio despite being a pretty safe, single worthy track, people seem to be sick of Taylor and all the baggage she's carried as of late.
now don't get me wrong, i don't think this SHOULD be in the same category as a song like LWYMMD considering this has an important message (that shouldn't be controversial in the first place really), but they both fall into the same category of loud, outspoken Taylor, and i don't know anyone (besides stans) who is asking for more of that. instead she needs another Delicate -- a track that presents Taylor in a more down to earth light while showcasing the melancholic pop that she does best. Cruel Summer is literally RIGHT THERE, but if their label is allergic to it like they were Getaway Car from last era, Miss Americana or maybe even Death by a Thousand Cuts would work too. hell, if they're looking for something a little more conventional (read: generic) sounding, I Think He Knows would've probably worked too.
but this? assuming there's some big remix/video/performance tied to this, i'm sure it'll get a high peak, but this isn't gonna earn Taylor any new fans and it only solidifies her in the eyes of the GP as someone who values making a statement over making good music.

Damn, I really wish Selena wasn't pushing her new work. This is only because I would love these two besties to collab, especially on a song that can show that Selena is back and truly The Man. But, anyways, stream Rare and The Man.

There are apparently rumors of Halsey being featured on this due to this, but I think it's just stans getting ahead of themselves.
