This is incredible. Miley is really bringing it this era musically and I'm 100% here for it. Bringing Dua in for this was a smart choice, too. I hope this is much bigger than "Midnight Sky" was, which sadly deserved far better.

This is a fun bop and I appreciate the 80's vibe - the melody is strong and it sounds to me like Miley's take on a Hall & Oates song. It doesn't have the timeless, nostalgiac feel of Midnight Sky, though. As others have pointed out, Dua may not have been the right fit for this.

This was building up to what I thought was going to be this booming chorus and it just... never got there. Not sure why people think Miley isn’t emoting on this (or “Midnight Sky,” for that matter). I think it’s more of a consequence of the production that kind of makes it harder to really pick out, especially here, because the instrumental is so... flat.
I dunno. I’m not hearing what I wanted to based on the comments here. It’s not bad, it’s just not the big pop anthem I was expecting. The way they layered the vocals made for a very interesting take on a duet though, so I’ll give them that, I just wish it had a little more oomf to it.

I think there's a good sweet spot between the current Miley and the yeehaw Miley that I find much more... convincing? Don't get me wrong, "Midnight Sky" is one of the best pop releases of the year, and definitely her best in a while, but I do feel like "Slide Away," "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart" and even "Mother's Daughter" felt much more personal and emotive (or "anthemic" could be a better descriptor for "Mother's Daughter").

Oddly enough, I never fully warmed up to Midnight Sky the way most on here seem to. I don't hate it but it kind of does nothing for me. I like this song more after a few listens, but I think Dua is the highlight.

That’s so interesting, I don’t really hear much of a difference between “Mother’s Daughter,” “Nothing Breaks Like a Heart,” or “Midnight Sky” as far as sincerity (is that the word?) goes. She’s using a different tone on the latter, but it’s also thematically different than the other two. I was actually biking to it the other night and musing over how, if I could sing worth a shit, I would have personally taken a different approach to the delivery because of how convincing Miley’s was, especially the back half of the chorus and the second verse on, and how hard it would be for just anyone to cover the song and casually do the same thing. “Prisoner” is a lot harder for me to make a case for, especially since I only listened once lol, but my initial impression wasn’t that Miley didn’t deliver. Rather the production sounds so... empty that it doesn’t compliment either her or Dua’s voices well enough to notice if they’re trying or not.

Spincrease shows 366 spins with play on 122 stations. With two recurrents and one almost-certain purge this has a definite chance at debuting top 50 in the final update.

I wish this was her song only, because THAT VERSE is pure fire!
Miley totally ruined the song for me, even tho I prefer her music overall.

The song was the #1 most requested on Most Requested Live which probably gave it a nice boost

This song was already good out of the gate, but it has grown on me a lot. I find my self singing the hook at random times. I have my doubts, but it would be great if it could redeem "Midnight Sky"

Ok this grew on me similarly to "Rain On Me", on first listen I was a little underwhelmed because I expected them both to be more massive in production and/or hook but the groove on this song is just so funky, I love how Dua's first chorus is so minimalistic and how the second one is more reminiscent of "Midnight Sky" and I agree that she outdid Miley on here however the way the second chorus grows sounds fantastic as well as her explosive outro May this smash as it really should

I really hope this pops off, Miley deserves vengeance for what radio did to Midnight Sky.

I don’t like this as much as “Midnight Sky” but I hope it’s a hit. She deserves it. This is good, it just doesn’t pack the same punch as the first single.
