i think i like the message more than the song, even though both are great. glad to see her in a better place after the witness era <3 Also this is #1 on Apple music’s A-list pop so i hope it gets sent to radio soon

This is much better than Daisies, it's a simple fun song.

after about 5 listens i would rank this dead last of all the post-Witness songs, including Small Talk and Never Worn White. Extremely disappointed. It's a cute album track, but thank god it's a promo single. The bridge clearly is empty and needing something. I'm not even sure this deserves a spot on the album, let alone the title track.

wasn't this the planned lead before she decided to go with Daisies after the pandemic? This must be getting a push. I like it a lot.

I love the verses but the chorus is lacking so much. It badly needed more background vocals (especially her staple “aahhh, ahhh” she had in like every song that she hasn’t used since Chained To The Rhythm) and synths and horns as the song progressed. I also think it’s a bit more too repetitive and short. I can’t see this doing anything
Listen to this, then listen to International Smile. The chorus of this sounds like a demo

This is a cute bop. Give me some club remixes on that beat.

The album that never ends... I mean 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY' out now!

I feel like the instruments sometimes overpower her voice (as in I can't understand what she is saying unless looking at the lyrics). The non-existent bridge makes it feels like a demo. Not feeling this one. Glad she is in a better place though.

TroublemakerOlly Is this not the second single? Or are they waiting to drop the Diddy version to push it?

Yeah, this is going nowhere. I don't think she'll ever be able to recapture the magic.

Smile is just too... corny for me in a way. For instance, "Humble pie"...girl...no.

I think it's OK But I would prefer to just re-name the album Unconditional Smile and release that as the first single! :)

Big fan of this instantly. Love everything about it. Replay value, catchy, upbeat...just what we need for the summer. I'm still confused why a) the cover art reflects a sad clown when the album title track is all positive vibes and b)why ANYONE is clamoring for Diddy in 2020. I never heard the demo but I can already say he is not missed. Even tho this does have a Jamboree by Naughty by Nature vibe (shoutout to Wave. for that), leave Diddy features in the past please.
