"My Future" is one of the best singles this year and I guess after it failed for the obvious reasons on pop "holy 34 or 35 crap positions* charts, this song is not going to bring back her pop magic times. She has peaked already with one of the best debut albums last 10 years and will be Rickie Lee Jones of the 2020ies. Sad thing is to peak before you are 20, this might hurt hard. wut

Maybe don’t write on message boards after you take sedatives. She will be fine.

I like this, it sounds like it is off her debut though, which is fine I guess?
The video is really cool as well. I love her hair but I kinda wish she would change it so it feels like a new era.

Damn Sophomore slump already? I always side-eye every time a musician sees crazy success from a single (i.e Bad Guy) and they go in the opposite direction, when the public obviously wants more of that sound. That’s the beauty of an album, you can have the hit singles AND the music you want to make too.

Do we see her going the way of Lorde and outdoing herself with her next album, whether it’s big or not? Or will she continue with the one-offs until something sticks? So far, since the album I’ve only liked Everything i Wanted.

In between her EP and LP, she did a lot of single drops too: bitches broken hearts, come out and play, WHEN I WAS OLDER, lovely, and even when the party's over and you should see me in a crown were released long before the album was truly set in stone. That seems to be sort of her "thing." I don't think we'll be seeing a real full fledged single from an album until mid 2021 at the earliest. So that alone will set her far apart from Lorde's situation of waiting eons between new music. Will it benefit her or hurt her? Hard to say at this point.
Interestingly, everyone loves to compare the two, but IMO Lizzo's career trajectory from mainstream breakthrough to now is much closer to Lorde's than Billie's is.

That’s true. The comparison to Lorde, even beyond the releases, is the musical direction. I remember thinking after her first album that I couldn’t see Lorde taking a different approach that would actually work, only she did. Yet, even though Lorde proved me wrong, I’m not sure if I’ve noticed much growth from Billie’s music. But it may also be because I haven’t explored her music much, nor have I dug into what I have heard too deeply. Billie’s sound may already have more range than Lorde’s, but I guess I haven’t really noticed.

I like it.
Tbh I'm not seeing how this is derivative of Billie's sound. Like yeah the cadence is a bit too similar to all the good girls but I think this will grow. Billie's pop cuts have always been my least favorite side of her - bad guy took months to grow on me - I do prefer either the erratic electronic production or stripped backed ballads but if this is what FINNEAS and her want to do, all the power to them.
That said if any of yall ate saying she's flopping, yall need your eyes checked. This isn't a Camola Cannoli situation, she's doing fine.

Meh. Sounds like an album leftover. EIW is the best of the post-album lot by far.

This sounds like it's going to be a hit for Billie. It is already in an ESPN College Football Promo much like "Ready For It?" from Taylor Swift was a few years ago.As for my opinion,It's a nice song.
The Promo if anyone is interesting in seeing it-

Idk it's nothing new or groundbreaking but it's not supposed to be the start of a new era. Just a one off pop single to keep her name relevant and as such it fills its purpose. It's catchy as (all good girls go to) hell and it may be my favorite song of hers since EIW. Hope it's a hit.

Not every artist has to prove themselves again and again by putting out something new and fresh with each single, I think. This does sound like something from her first LP but it's not like she's been rehashing this sound for ages, anyways. This is just her sound and I'm here for it. And for what it's worth, all three singles after the album sound different.

^^^this
I feel like people are still forgetting she's only put out two projects as of yet. I get if you don't like her style but saying she should change when she's still establishing herself and she's only had three-four years in the industry is a bit unfair on her part.
It's not like Lady Gaga, Adele, Rihanna, or Katy Perry changed styles for their first five years in the industry.

This is actually a clever little tune, almost without a melody and the message, but it sounds like a breezy hit, so cash your money Billie, you deserve it!
