The verses and chorus are good separately. Meshing them together kinda sounds weird, but I still think it's not as bad as many of you guys are saying.

It's like they had these great verses, wrote this chorus and were like "we will fix that later" and then just never went back.

Dont see what all the hate is for. Pretty good song that'll do well on the charts.

This will probably grow on me, but the chorus really could have been so much better.

Demi is not a feature on this. Can we fix the title please.
With that being said, It’s kind of bizarre that this song is a duet? Demi Lovato doesn’t fit in on this that well. It sounds like she was thrown into a Sam Smith song without much guidance or control. He could’ve gotten away with having this as a solo. The entire song/video is just bizarre, but not in a bad way.

Don't know what to think about this tbh. I'll make up my mind after listening to it more.

This is so my reaction The chorus just doesn't fit with the verses They could have been from different songs The VERSES ARE EVERYTHING so it's so fucking painful that the chorus is a misfit

ugh, listening to this again make me feel more annoyed by the chorus because the verses are really hot and actually alludes to sexiness but then the chorus is lifted straight from Rachel Platten's debut album which is about as sexy as an amish village

The chorus to me sounds like a build up to a drop but then the drop never happens so the listener is never satisfied. Especially the last chorus, when it ended I felt like there should have been a drop or something and it just felt unfinished.

This is still such a disappointment. I really can't think of another song with so much potential that was wasted this badly, those verses and pre-chorus deserved a chorus as excellent as How Do You Sleep?'s but it's just a meh final product.

Never in my life have I heard a chorus so underwhelming that it made me excited for the next verse.

Chorus is a massive dud. I'm still excited for a new album from Sam, but this is the worst single from this project.

All that talent in the room not being able to come up with a stronger hook for this just baffles me.

He could’ve gotten away with having this as a solo. You should be aware by now that Sam does not go by "he/him/his" pronouns. Sam goes by "they/them/theirs".

I'll agree the chorus is a let down compared to the verses, but this is still very good

Seems like this is off to a stronger start than “How Do You Sleep” but not as strong as “Dancing With a Stranger.”

The chorus is dreadful on this song and why is Demi so "toned down" vocally in comparison to Sam? I don't get it, wouldn't you want the vocally strong star to belt?

I guess they weren't ready afterall. This sounds like Confident on steroids with a slightly less memorable melody and power.
