When this came out and I first heard it I thought this was mediocre wouldn’t do much as it is. Heard it on the radio didn’t realize it was this song now I LOVE IT I’m a Stan for this. The lyrics are deep and anyone is able to relate. The video is also very 00’s nostalgic and the dancing is fun to watch.

#65 on iTunes, light green #230 on AM Out of the top 200 on Spotify
I would not be surprised if radio drops this like Stupid Love

Awful callout scores for this one. This is so not going nowhere near top 10.

Maybe pop artists could craft better songs than that? Just a suggestion...

Yeah I joined this board the biggest Demi fan imaginable, but this song just isn’t it. It’s certainly not a BAD song, but it’s not what she needs to kick off a new era (ftr neither is I’m Ready). She’s capable of so much better.

Az, why are you still acting surprised that this song is not performing well on radio when it's nowhere to be seen on sales or streaming charts?

Pop doesn’t usually do good on streaming or sales, does it? Even other genres like rock or country don’t do well comparatively but we still expect those radio formats to play their respective genres. Not sure why pop radio is expected to stick with overall streaming and sales.

Programmers want to play what people want to hear to keep them on that station. Listeners aren't showing interest to this at all, even the callouts aren't good either. Why would they play something that listeners don't know/like when they can play a safer option like Circles or Don't Start Now, which they know listeners still like and seek out.

This song wasn't it and we all know it. It's a testament to pop's willingness to play Demi that it even got as far as it did. She needs a better song.

Yeah. It's been expected for this to be another top 15 death since week 1 when those streaming numbers came out. This song is just not it, it has never been it. She needs another CFTS type of bop with a a-lot-less-screamed chorus.

I'll settle for something generic like "Neon Lights", but it has to be a bop. There's something about this one's chorus that doesn't quite land.

She’s capable of so much better. Is she, though? Even her highest highs have been very marginally ‘better’ than this song when it’s all broken down.

I’m surprised this is still tangling. Hopefully the next single does better.

She’s capable of so much better. Is she, though? Even her highest highs have been very marginally ‘better’ than this song when it’s all broken down. I mean quality is obviously subjective. But in my eyes, yeah, she can and has done significantly better many times on all six of her albums. Even the first two had examples of an artist capable of more than the Disney standard (“Don’t Forget”, “La La Land”, “The Middle”, “Here We Go Again”, “Quiet”, “Catch Me”, “Got Dynamite”, “Every Time You Lie” all being particular highlights). When she started working for hits on her third and fourth albums, the results were a little hit or miss, but there were certainly some gems. “Skyscraper” and “For the Love of a Daughter” were the first of multiple gut-wrenching, personal ballads. “Give Your Heart a Break” and “Heart Attack” were excellent pop hits that are some of the best examples of her unique strengths being applied to current trends. “Two Pieces” was a major highlight of this cycle, one of the best examples of the pop-rock niche she could follow, taking after P!nk and Kelly Clarkson. And while nothing substantial, “Really Don’t Care” and “Something That We’re Not” are well-structured bubblegum with personality. The Confident and Tell Me You Love Me albums were both strong products that showed her really coming into her own. “Cool for the Summer” remains a unique hit, possibly the most innovative song she’s ever released and a genuine creative risk. “Wildfire”, “Body Say”, and “Ruin the Friendship” are major career highlights, genuinely sexy and showing real potential for an R&B/Pop direction. “Confident”, “Sexy Dirty Love”, and “Games” are great examples of self-empowering lyrics in well-structured radio-friendly pop songs that play to her strengths. And even most of the songs that I haven’t mentioned are generally solid pop songs, even if they aren’t necessarily revolutionary. While I don’t think she’s ever totally nailed who she wants to be as an artist, she’s made a number of genuinely strong songs in a number of pop sub-genres, even if her single selections haven’t always been the best showcase. Aside from a few shamelessly generic trend-chasers on Unbroken and “Sorry Not Sorry”, easily her worst song in my eyes and a disappointing winner for her biggest hit, she hasn’t had many lows. So yeah, I think she can do a lot better.

She's too far along in her career to be putting out things like Neon Lights now. Even back then it did terribly outside radio. She needs to come harder than playlist filler.

Yeah I agree this was a terrible choice for a lead single. She has a strong voice and has a lot of bops under her belt. She can do way better than this.
