"thank u, next" took more than a year to grow on me, "positions" took like two listens lol. Already my most played song this week. On repeat I liked the video as well. Probably my least favorite Ariana-Dave collab but the cinematography is cute and she looks better than she has ever looked. Wow. EDIT: I just saw that Dave also directed "the light is coming" and "Beauty and the Beast".

I really like this! It’s much more poppy than I expected, the melody is excellent. I agree her enunciation could be better and the beat could hit harder (I will be making a remix pumping it up hehehe ) Also, what a wonderful video, really enjoyed everything , my heart is full.

My husband and I looked at each other after watching the video and hearing the song for the first time and said simultaneously “I didn’t understand a word she was singing”... lol she looked adorable, not something I’d go out of my way to listen to again..

Took me three listens for it to click. It’s a bop. I didn’t realize that I missed new Ari until now!

Ok. First listen, I was underwhelmed. Third time (watching the video for the first time) I started to get more into it. I like it now. I think it will for sure continue growing in me. And I liked the video too. đź‘Ť

Lmfaoooo I didn’t understand most of what she was saying, singing actually. Aside from “switching positions with you”. I think she doesn’t give a f about her faulty enunciation, or even exaggerates it? LOL! It’s become her thing at this point.
The song itself? Thumbs up! I was bopping. I like the video too.

Such an unevent single. Yummy (also unevent) is better imo, the beat hits harder. An easy no. 1 debut though.
I couldn't understand most of the words she sang, probably her most difficult one among her singles. And Im Asian. For Americans, is her enunciation generally hard to understand? Or is it just for non English-language people?

It’s ok. Nothing that needed to come out asap. I would have kept working.

Absolutely love. Was instant for me. I get why this won’t click for all but I think it’s a seamless “early 2000s” R&B/pop vibe and could work great right now.

It's airy and flirty and inoffensive and there's absolutely nothing distinctive about it aside from her voice - so it fits in well with most of her catalogue!

Absolutely incredible. I can hear a lot of Mariah influence! I was hooked on the first listen. The MV is also a serve

This is cute, yet unremarkable. She is totally trolling with that enunciation though, lol.

Positions is cute. Far from groundbreaking or interesting and probably wouldn’t do anything if it weren’t Ariana, but totally inoffensive as well. I love R&B Ari, so this didn’t fully hit the mark for me.

I like this more than a lot of her recent singles. Very catchy hook and the production reminds me of late 90s R&B.

I am not a fan of her at all and really have an issue with her enunciation throughout her discography, but this is really good. I love the beat and production, it reminds me of Mariah. Solid effort.

I suppose her peak was "thank u, next" era.

Not a banger at first listen but a grower no doubt. Sounds amazing per usual. Well see how this will do on the charts

I like this but I'm hoping she switches things up for single #2, like how "7 rings" was to "thank u, next".
