I looooooove the instrumental on this. That last thirty seconds especially is epic, when she starts dialing the synths way up.
I'm having a hard time getting around that first verse though, her falsetto has always been so harsh to me. But I like the pre-chorus and the chorus. And the little outro/bridge part is cute.

The only thing I’m not in love with this is the drums/beat it’s a bit harsh but the song is still great. Her productions are always top notch the more I listen to it the more new lil things keep popping out and surprising me she’s such a queen.

This is just OK. Nothing compared to masterpieces like Kiss and Not Tell and especially SEXOTHEQUE, which is their best song.

The song is fine. I don't mind the falsetto vibe in music, but her falsetto is weak. The song kinda bops tho. There's that.

All of her stuff is the same. There's literally zero creative growth from 10 years ago

I don't get that criticism at all. Trouble In Paradise sounds NOTHING like the debut. Not vocally, not production-wise. This is kind of a combination of the two, the fuller production of TIP, with the vocal tricks of her first album. But it wouldn't fit on either album really.
I'm still not completely sold on this, although I do love parts of it.
