I like it better than I thought I would given the snippet, but I don't love it. It's fine, and I'll bop to it now and then, but this isn't what I was hoping for from her and I hope this isn't indicative of the sound the album has. Tell Me You Love Me ended up not sounding much like "Sorry Not Sorry," so I have faith.

I really like this and I think the chorus is a cool idea, I think it is just a bit jarring by the time the second chorus comes in. The heavy part of the chorus works really well after the soft instrumental verses but strong vocals, however the cut back chorus parts kind of ruin the payoff. They should have had it only once per chorus, and in the second chorus moved it to the start of the chorus or something to mix it up. In the first chorus it works well as it’s unexpected but by the time the second comes in, it feels like you’re just waiting for it and it further ruins the payoff of the strong parts of the chorus

Something I forgot to add: the song isn’t long as it is but I think it’d work better for me if it was half a minute shorter. There’s a filler outro/chorus imo.

I really like this. And as hard as I root for Demi, many of her songs do take a little while to grow on me (if I even end up liking them at all). This one was pretty instant though.

I like the verses and the pre-chorus. But something about the chorus and that post-chorus doesn't fully work for me. Not sure if it's the production or what.
I do love it lyrically though. Not sure if it's the homerun she needs right now, but then again, I said the same thing about "SNS."

A pop bop! Takes me back to the early 2010’s for sure.
I’ll be rooting for this one hardcore.

I’ll have to let this one grow on me. The production is a bit all over the place for my personal taste.

Something about her always feels D-list and corny to me, no matter what she does. She finally started to shake that with her last album, and with this...she’s back where she was.

Cute, but a huge step in the wrong direction after the excellence on her last album. I am extremely disappointed.

Birds chirping? Spoken asides? Corny lyrics? This sounds like a Becky Lizzo single. I can see why this is for some people, but...it's not for me. Agree with the people who say it's a regression sonically too, but also because it's catchy and extremely poppy, I can see it doing well.

Meh. Sounds like they slightly modified one of those generic R&B fillers of the mid 2000s. Not awful, just not what I wanted for her.

Ariana is Tweeting a bunch about Demi/this song. Good promo given her 70 million+ followers.

Would I be wrong if say this song would also be suited for Taylor Swift? The chorus just screams Taylor.

Quite disappointed with this one. A little corny lyrically and sounds like Lizzo's "Like a Girl" which was produced by Oak also. It doesn't feel like it's something new for her style/sound. Would love to see her coming up with a more mature version of TMYLM' sound. Hopefully the album will be good though.

I enjoyed this. It felt fresh but also familiar. The video is quite good. Love her styling in the video.

I can't believe how much I love this! The message, the lyrics, the switching back and forth in the chorus, and just the production in general! My girl Demi is absolutely slayin' it out there!

OK, I lied. Saw the video. Instantly fell in love and the song clicked. The catchiness alone did what it needed to do. Also, homegirl SANG AND SANG. I need to listen on headphones on low volume.

Wait, what? I didn't realize pop radio was that ready for Demi. I'm assuming it has a deal, but still.
