I hope radio drops this soon and that she pushes "Love Again" worldwide. It's already the next single in France. This has grown on me a bit but it still isn't enough. It should have been a cute album track at best.

I think they released this rather then something else because it sounds quite different to every other single she has had out recently. It has grown on me but 'If it ain't me' or 'That kind of woman' were right there.

If you told me this was an outtake from DL1, I would believe you

You are crazy if you think that anything from FN project would do better at this point. Harry Styles' Golden is not even top 50 on Hot 100 despite getting a lot of support and decent streams.
Either release a remix of an older track and/or celebrate the success of FN at the Grammys and move onto the next era.

If they want to try and squeeze one more hit out of this era they’re gonna need to try either “If It Ain’t Me” remix featuring Normani or return to the original album and release the future summer hit “Cool” with a remix featuring Tove Lo.

I'd go with "If It Ain't Me" next also. A remix would be cool, even with a male R&B or pop artist.

One hand that wouldn't surprise me. The chorus is awful and kills the whole song for me. On the other hand, it's Dua. A turnaround would not be a shock by any stretch

I don't know why, but the fact that her most US pandering and trending single is struggling, even there, is a little bit ironic. I mean, I assume her team decided to go with this as a way to show that there were other sides in the nostalgia spectrum of the album after "Levitating" wasn't getting good callouts, but it seems that this change (of sound) backfired them if the radio updates keep going like this.

Either release a remix of an older track and/or celebrate the success of FN at the Grammys and move onto the next era. I could also cherry pick and suggest Save Your Tears shows why something from the standard edition could do well. So, really, in conclusion, it comes down to the single choice itself, not whether or not it's the fourth single from an album that's been out for a year. "Golden" also doesn't have that great of streaming, not to mention its playlisting is abysmal which was key in the success of Save Your Tears, Levitating, and Watermelon Sugar. It took Golden forever to get added to TTH and has never been high there lol. It's like #45 or something there right now like it's some Meghan Trainor track. Friggin Monster by Shawn Mendes is higher. 💀 I just can't fathom any scenario where Cool or Love Again got the exact same treatment as this and wouldn't be performing better. (Now, something like Pretty Please or Good in Bed... Yeah those would be performing worse lol.)

I’m not calling this one dead yet. Plenty of top 10 songs have gotten to the teens and done this before rebounding.
It might be dead, but it might turn around. We will see.

I'll be happy with top 10 here.
Love Again, That Kind of Woman, If It Ain't Me and Cool would be fine next. Probably LA if the France push is any indication.

I was expecting everyone would love this given how much this forum seems to love Dua, but yeah, I agree that this one's kind of her first let down. It's not horrible, just very forgettable.
I'm surprised radio allows the "cocaine" lyric to go uncensored, particularly given when I heard this on my station, they had just played a version of "Be Like That" minutes before that had the phrase "sleep with you" (?!?) completely muted for some reason lol.

The reality is that Dua's hits are uptempo songs. She has yet to prove that she can get a hit with a low tempo song.

it seems I am in the minority here, but I actually like this...It reminds me of No Doubt. I hope this is just a temporary slow down as result of exploding up the charts at 1st...but given the reactions here probably not
