I feel like Hate Me was a fluke in her collaborations and this is gonna be so much worse. but hey maybe it can beat the odds. even if the odds are weighed heavily, heavily against it

Yeah the stars didn't allign properly for Hate Me It got a huge burst of life after it died on radio that was very out of the blue, if it had happened like a month or two earlier. The song would have became a rather moderate hit.

Heard this and its so uninspired... It sounds like a Charlieโs Angels reject... An actually good chorus melody ruined by a trappy generic production and a rent-rapper. Ilya needs to get his shit together and forget about trying to recreate GIAW everytime he produces a song,

Anyways, this is actually better than Hate me , the chorus actually has a melody and not just a repetition of 2 words... But its hard to believe this was the same production team that made half of delirium.

The fact that it sounds like a Charlie's Angel reject immediately kills any and all excitement I might have for this otherwise.

I liked this more than I expected to based on the pretty damning feedback here... but it's nothing amazing and definitely sounds like an Ariana track. I don't really 'get' Ellie these days. Her past few singles have definitely been some of her most uninspired material.

Really like this, the chorus has great power and an interesting melody structure, the production is cute Probably grow on me even more, blackbear is unneeded but doesn't sound bad especially his adlibs I don't hear no sounds like this or that despite definitely recognizing influences

This isn't awful like expected It reminds me of Hate Me
Similar style production but overall a rather faceless song for Ellie You could give this to a billion other pop girls and it would be the same.
Overall, it's alright playlist filler for me in the same way as Hate Me, which I did end up listening to a lot cause it was a filler track for my weekly playlists
Still disappointing that she is losing all her charm with these subpar releases

I like it, it has quality production, of course Ellie Goulding is unrecognizable here, but as she has had no direction in her music past couple of years, this is the step forward. Blackbear is just the filler, no harm done.

Yeah this is definitely like Hate Me, not even necessarily in sound (there's similarites here and there) but the tone and way the song uses the blackbear feature definitely remind me of Hate Me lol. Honestly, I don't mind it at all. I loved Hate Me, and in a week or two I'll love this too.

This is not as bad as I expected but Ellie girl... what are you doing? The song is as bland as it gets and sounds like "Hate Me" way too much.

This is a BOP! Took me a few listens to appreciate itโs structure, but this is up there with Close To Me, quality wise. I donโt hear the Charlieโs Angels comparisons are all. TBH, this isnโt too derivative from the sound sheโs been experimenting with on the previous 2 singles, and even back as far as Delirium. This couldโve easily fit on Deliriumโs tracklist after Donโt Need Nobody.

Actually not a bad song considering what plays on Pop radio these days. But I agree that her previous material has been way stronger and her signature sound seems compromised. I thought her remake of "River" was gorgeous and a step in the right direction, let's see what she comes up with next.

Itโs almost like Hate Me, with a slightly more interesting production. I liked that one, so probably going to like this one too.

I knew when I started reading that this sounded basic etc that I would like this and I do!! I only usually like her "basic" sounding material. Cute bop!

I made a remix getting rid of the blackbear part , spiced up the production a bit and added the second part of the chorus hook to the outro (because it was a very good melody) If someone wants it dm me.

Don't mind this at all, least favourite of the collaborative singles so far, but it might grow on me.
