The intro reminded me of Harry’s intro for “Only Angel.”
Shawn just can’t evolve. I really wanted something fresh. This fits nicely with the rest of his discography, but that’s the stagnancy I’m talking about. I’m not saying abandon your essence, but give something that stands out. I think he tried with Lost in Japan, but this is a regression for me.

this is from Shawn’s 4th album and you can literally put this single anywhere in between his previous three albums, no evolution found whatsoever...

I mean, it's pleasant. Sonically it's very similar to "In My Blood." I also see the Harry Styles similarities as well.

Definitely on the fence with this one. I don’t think it will penetrate far into the top 10 unlike his more instant releases. Hot AC might show it more love than pop.

Not a fan of this one. I can see him copying Harry Styles'album rollout with his album. And his style too. Not that Shawn cant have it, but this song just aint it

Sound similar to In My Blood, which was better than this. He’s so gorgeous though, I’d watch him do laundry.
He could cut that hair though, he was looking a little like Millie Bobby Brown in some shots 😭

You’ve never heard In My Blood? This is just a more theatrical version of that formula. It certainly doesn’t sound like a gamechanger for Shawn, in my opinion.

I can’t lie, I’m obsessed with this. His music usually checks all my boxes though. I do prefer In My Blood and Lost in Japan, but this is something very special.

I bet this would be great to experience and sing live in a concert.

This is great, and will be a slow burn hit.

I mean it's #12 on US Spotify behind 7 tracks by 21 Savage... would be top 5 if not for that album bomb. I don't think that means this is destined to fail (yet).

The day has come when people are finally over pop boys!! Hip hop is taking over!! Harry Styles says hi Harry styles is different. People haven’t seen an artist like him in our generation. That’s why he does so well. Bieber, Shawn, Ed all give the same energy.

Shawn and Ed both had a very successful year in 2019. It’s not really fair to say people are over them now when Ed isn’t in an album cycle this year and Shawn just released his riskiest single one day ago. As for Bieber, he did decently well on the charts this year despite mediocre quality. Pop boys are far from over.

this song hasn't been out for 2 days and y'all already calling it an underperformance?
I'm not surprised, just disappointed.
