Oh I definitely like this. If she comes back on radio, that would be awesome given what sheβs been through, but Iβm sure sheβll have success/a strong following regardless.

Out of the new songs, I like this one the most. Wish her nothing but the very best!

This absolutely everything I needed from you JoJo! Yas! I do get the 'Ex' comparisons, but I don't mind cause 'Ex' is R&B perfection!

I like this and it definitely reminds me of Kiana Lede and Jessie J's last album The nice slick R&B smooth chill out jams
I like it, also she looks gorgeous

I donβt see why this shouldnβt do something on Rhythmic.

JoJo is clearly going for moods and moments with this album. Radio and streaming aren't going to be there for her. Outside of UAC, who would give this a spin? And even then, a radio edit would totally neuter the song. So just give me an album, collect your tour coins and keep the music coming.
This really does get better and better with every listen.

Genuine question, did that Kiana Lede song got some radio spins? I feel like Urban radio is a bit tricky to predict these days. There have been a lot of songs that I predicted to smash there but didn't and vice versa.

Never heard of Kiana Lede but this song is very sexy and JoJo sounds amazing, as expected.

That's a lot more successful than what I thought.

She sounds incredible in this track but I've been expecting more music in the vein of Tringle III. I keep going back to "When Love Hurts", "Save My Soul" and "Say Love".

Looks like they indeed sample "Ex" by Kiana Lede. Thank goodness cause I was shocked when I decided to check out "Ex" out of curiosity and then the chorus hits.

Weird that she would sample such a recent song. I assumed same writers and producers on this track, not an actual sample.

It's just composed by most of the same team, which I knew would be a bit of a problem when things started getting crazy with the songwriting laws after the whole "Blurred Lines" precedent.

Hopefully the song is a grower, but she looks fantastic in the video.

If it's the same team, then there isn't going to be any legal issue. You're right, but I still think it's wrong to write 2 identical songs for two different people though. Kinda like the whole "Halo"/"Already Gone" fiasco. But well, as long Kiana is okay with it, then we're good.

They absolutely HAVE to send this to Rhythmic too at least. Urban might take on this if Rhythmic plays it
