She sounds good in the clip, but it sounds kinda blah. I'll wait for the full listen to make any final judgment though.

I love it! Babyface co-wrote on this.

I don't really have strong feelings toward this either way. It's fine, I guess. She sounds good.

She sounds nice, but the song is kind of weak. It just plods along and doesn’t go anywhere. The singles from her last album were much stronger.

It's pretty and she sounds great (but when doesn't she sound great). But it's kinda just there. The chorus and especially the bridge don't take off enough.

After the success of "Long as I live" this is a step back and a major disappointment. It's pleasant, but it goes no where.

It's good but I'm not liking it as much as I did "Deadwood" and "Long As I Live". It doesn't have enough variation throughout the song to make it super enjoyable. But of course, I'm always glad to listen to her voice and that she found her passion for singing again.

When I saw the title, I expected it to be mid-tempo or upbeat. I like it, it's definitely pleasant. We'll see how much it grows on me. She just reset her bar SO HIGH with Long As I Live.

It's cute. I wouldn't turn it off as an album track but as a lead single, no...It's just blah.

It's nice and may be a song that creeps up on me more after a few listens.
It's nice to hear her voice again on a new song. She sounds great.
The chorus is kind of catchy which I wasn't expecting so I may give it a few more listens.

Really like this - it's classic Toni. But it's way too short, and I generally agree that it's kind of flat. I would have loved for it take off led by a stronger bridge. The song's concept is really good and feels authentic coming from Toni - they definitely could have done a lot more with it to make it more suitable as a single.
That said, she sounds and looks absolutely incredible (the accompanying visuals are excellent). This bodes well for the upcoming project. Looking forward to it.

Hopefully it’s inspired by Libra. I need a true R&B sultry album from her. Her last album was way too pop.

Her last two solo albums have were way too pop imo. She should fully embrace her brand (sad or sultry love songs + mid-tempo jams). No one does it better.

After a second listen, I’m loving this. She sounds divine on this record.

This is a slow burner for sure, the verses are beautiful, and Toni's delivery is as gripping as ever. Love!

It had an hourly iHeart deal yesterday. iHeart doesn't have the same dominance at Urban AC that it does at some other formats, but it helped it have such a big debut because those stations played it 10-20 times yesterday in addition to the regular play it was getting. Looks like quite a few Cumulus owned stations were playing it hourly as well.. not sure if they do the hourly deals.
