Seemingly teasing the start of his debut album era tonight. Columbia CEO Ron Perry retweeted it.

There's already a Rhythmic impact date for this, so it's safe to say that this will be pushed here as well.

I can’t tell if it’s a holiday/Christmas song or just cleverly themed. I’m assuming it’s not specifically for the holidays

I don’t think it’s a song that will just fall off on January 1st and automatically go away like how all the Christmas songs do. But even if it does, it will have at least 8 weeks of life. Madonna has a song called “Holiday” that gets recurrent play year round.

I’m assuming it’s not specifically for the holidays the lyrics don't scream Christmas tune to me, I'm guessing cleverly themed/play on words kinda thing. if I'm correct, I'm hoping it doesn't limit the song's performance once this disastrous year is over lol. "Ayy, it's a holiday I got hoes on hoes and they outta control, yeah Ayy, it's another way All my n****s on go and I hope that you know it..."

On one hand, I don’t think it would matter either way as, if this is like a usual hyped-first single, it’ll peak early and drop anyway. I’m mostly just curious because if it’s a holiday song, it’s likely a one-off. If not, it’s likely the lead for the new era. I just want to know how much I should be invested is all lol.

This guy's ego is getting too big and his new single is getting overhyped.

His whole artistry seems artificial. I just can’t consider him an artist I look forward to listening too 😂

I just can’t consider him an artist I look forward to listening too 😂 An artist is someone who creates art, which is something that has a wide range of meaning, but roughly it's defined as the expression of someone's imagination or concept and values through the creation of visual, auditory or performance media. Artificial or not (still can't quite get what you mean by 'artificial', sounds created on computers instead of actual instruments?), I wouldn't say his creations are political or economic.

He dropped a meme song that ended up becoming the longest #1 in history, nothing about him is fake or artificial, maybe you're just used to the music you listen to being artificial.

I think this will be the real test as to whether he can make it long-term or not.

Idk, I could see him as someone who could be influenced by industry higher-ups, yet at the same time, he’s so fluid with how he uses social media, which supports his authenticity but I find it weird that people in suits even allow that - which suggests to me they’re somehow involved. But I won’t pretend to know what happens behind the scenes at labels. I’m of the belief that he’s as real as anyone can be in music right now. Is his stuff groundbreaking? Not at all. I think he has the potential to be and I think so much of that is with who he is and how relatable he is to his audience.

Ed Sheeran’s “Perfect” video was also Christmas themed, and so was “Lover” to a certain extent. I don’t think this is a “Christmas song” per say, but just a perfectly timed single pandering to end of the year/seasonal aesthetics and sounds. I agree it won’t really matter after 2 months as thats a typical shelf life now for a comeback single, making the timing even more clever.

I think this is going to underperform sadly, but I'd love to be proven wrong because I think the talent is there

"Ayy, it's a holiday I got hoes on hoes and they outta control, yeah Ayy, it's another way All my n****s on go and I hope that you know it..." These lyrics don't seem to match with the Roblox concert announcement

I love the video, the song will need to grow on me. Reminds me of the way I felt when I first heard "Panini," which I ended up really enjoying.

I'm loving these recent industrial beats: Dont Stop, Therefore I Am, Holiday, etc. It's a nice contrast to all of the 80s synth beats.
