Dua's releases for Future Nostalgia have been on point and this one isn't an exception!
"I should've stayed at home" though, Dua promoting self-quarantine and doing god's work while serving a bop!

This is good! Itβs not quite at the level of genius that βPhysicalβ is at (not even close) but this is certainly a safer choice for the US.

Physical > Don't Start Now > Break My Heart
All excellent though. We have decided to stan forever.

I agree with the general consensus here, I like the song and Iβm sure itβll grow on me more, but itβs not as amazing and DSN and Physical. But to be honest, she couldnβt have done any better than those two so this is definitely still a win.

This definitely is the safer of the two options and would make more sense to push as a single at this moment given that Physical's release and buzz already has left the gate unfortunately
Plus sonically this is a sound US radio has a better chance of latching onto given our horrible taste at pop radio being far more lenient on the safe side of things

Not as instant as DSN or Physical, but I can see this one growing on me. It's not a bad song at all.

Yeah Physical is a bit better and more euphoric, but this is a smart move and will definitely do better with the masses. Sheβs leveling up.

Iβm willing to bet the beginning of the chorus (βI would have stayed... at... home... β) will be HUGE on TikTok in a few weeks / months.
This is a BOP and a half.

Does this sample Another One Bites the Dust?
I donβt love the beginning of the chorus here, it kinda sounds like a phone dialing or something to me. I love the end though, and the verses are great. I like it but donβt love it (yet, at least)
Physical >>> BMW > DSN

Physical > Don't Start Now > Break My Heart All excellent though. We have decided to stan forever. The title track is always left out of all these rankings, poor βfuture nostalgiaβ This is pretty good, I agree that it could do well on TikTok

"Physical" is better, but for some reason this just has a more spring/summer vibe so I get why they are going with it. Also the "I should've stayed at home" bit is totally going to be a key in the coronavirus season.

Another phenomenal track from the queen of pop!
I wouldn't say it's as instant as PhysiGOD was, but honestly nothing is (though I WILL hold out for Levitating and Hallucinate...) but once you put it on repeat it just... gets you. It's a fantastic track!
Personally I'm PhysiGOD > Break My Lungs > Future Classic > Don't Smash Now
But they're literally all 11/10 tracks and my order keeps changing. Album of the DECADE.

Love it. Was waiting for some extra explosive ab-libs on the final chorus though, but it's okay I added my own in while singing it in the car. Can't wait for the video.

IMO, this is more catchy than "Physical" but I think I'll get burnt out on this faster.

This is brilliant, very same route as DSN so should do better than Physical, which obviously was the boppest of bops, but hasn't been able to smash the US charts.

Whoa she's ona roll! Loving this.
The start of the chorus remind me of Charlie Puth's How Long...has this been going on... Did anyone also get that?
