This song manages to be both boring and try-hard. This might flop in a big way, it has no substance, just the album hype... NO SUBSTANCE? Girl... This is an iconic watershed moment for Pop music. This is an extremely important song for Ariana. She is at the height of her popularity and her doing a sex positive song about the 69 position which speaks of equality in sexual pleasure for both men and women solidifies her place in the Pop music pantheon as one of the most ground-breaking. Sex and sexuality are extremely important aspects of our society. It is also socio-political. It is a complex study of gender roles, especially when she is singing about how she is on top and in control when riding her man also shows her dominant role in the relationship, demonstrating that she is not submissive in the way society is conditioning people to think that they are supposed to be. There is so much context and subtext to this song. This song has PLENTY of substance. You are just too ignorant, uptight, and repressed to read between the lines. You do the absolute fucking most lol, but glad you're managing to get...all of this at of that. *goes back to ignoring this song and being repressed and ignorant*

that Givenchy look reminds me of Doja Cat's "Cyber Sex" a little bit but honestly would have made sense, given she's an ambassador for Givenchy, too. that silver outfit looks like Toulouse designed it.

It feels like two different videos were mixed together and neither direction makes sense
The sexy choreo could have been one video of its own The sci-fi robot stuff could have been its own video maybe properly realized if it wasn't interspersed with another idea
One of her weakest videos for sure, that choreo bit was a serve tho

Ariana has never been the sell sex kind of artist especially in her videos. If this video had sex all over it it would've felt a bit forced and fabricated. She's always given me this kind of silly kind of sexy vibe, especially when it comes to her life and circle of friends. The sci-fi thing was something to spin some fun into hyper sexual lyrics, which was a choice, yes, but I appreciate it for what it is.

The way she does sensual in videos works for me. If they wouldve showed her ass going up and down when they were humping the ground...
I also love how the video has nothing to do with the song.

Is there a challenge for this going on on TikTok? I don't have an account but I've been seeing lots of people dancing the choreo on Instagram.

This would definitely be getting better updates now if Positions hadn't been released just one week earlier, but it is what it is. It can still do well in the long run, especially on streaming. She does tend to suffocate her singles on radio though

She’s really nailing the aesthetics this era, but... I mean, what was any of that supposed to convey? It’s even harder to take the song seriously with a video like that.
The choreography with the body suit was actually hot, though. Like, I know it’s supposed to be “fun”, but the past two videos haven’t really given off the sexy R&B vibe the album is trying for. Those scenes were the closest she’s come.

After watching the video I like this a lot more but I still think pushing it a week after "Positions" was absolutely ridiculous

I have never seen a fanbase shift into such a delirious state of denying reality, at least not since Art Pop. That video was horrible. I think this era will be pretty much over by January 2021. Ariana fell down a trap of being able to do nothing more than look pretty and sing about sex positions. She’s become a parody of her former self.

I'm sure that's why both of her active singles and an album track have been in the Top 10 on Spotify + Apple Music all throughout this month. the true symptom of a fading star, a forgotten artist, a flopping era, really.

Some people really are just sexist, admit it, move on , and most importantly I'll let Ariana finish this off

I still have no use for this whatsoever and fail to understand why it was picked as the single. The video did nothing to change my opinion.
