I wonder if EIW can get as high in the hot 100 rankdown.
Edit: It's definitely one of Anthony's 9 remaining bottom 10s isn't it.

This is a really pleasant song. This falls into the same camp as the Lana song where I think the quality of the song is great, but the replay value wasn't there for me.

This one was always going to be tough for me to talk about when it showed up.
Most of my favorite songs of 2020 were more an escape from what was going on in the world, and the songs that helped fuel that escape tended to be my personal favorites. This is the only one of my absolute favorite songs this year where I felt like I wasn't escaping, but confronting everything head on. Obviously, this year was rough for everyone, but, given my history of mental illness, I was prepared for it to be harder on me than others, because things can go really bad for my psyche at a moment's notice. I needed this song, badly. I didn't know it when I first listened to it at the end of 2019, when I thought it was just a great pop song. Then came COVID-19 and more Donald Trump and the terrible US response to COVID and George Floyd and wheuhtre78ghrt7rgh
I loved the song before. But, as this year progressively became more and more of a mess, I kept coming back to it, more and more, and it started to be a safety blanket for me to come back to, to soothe me whenever I needed it. (I definitely needed it more this year than usual.) There are few songs I've ever listened to that have had this effect on me, and I cherish every last one of them.
The meaning to Billie and Finneas is a little different than what I got out of it, but I got the same comfort that Billie and Finneas were thinking of when they composed the song. It was comforting to me in a way that no other song was in 2020.
Spoiler: It's my song of the year.

I never have been a person with suicidal thoughts as the song suggest but this part "If they knew what they said would go straight to my head What would they say instead?" hits hard when you've been bullied... this song means so much for me

Yeah probably one of the best written songs I've ever heard. Just gets better the more I pay attention to it.

You didn't even bother making a gif for "Caution"? What a flop host. Par for the course for an Imagine Dragons stan.

9 vs 16
Both very good but very predictable. That being said I have a preference for Caution.
