Yall are so....
I enjoyed the video and song. If she can split pop and r&b perfectly, there is no issue. The numbers are proving she was wanted so..

The song is actually really good. Don't get all the negative comments here honestly. I hope it does great.

This song is definitely giving me "Body Party" and "Ride" vibe after several replays. It appears subtle at first, and then becomes super catchy. The urban audience is definitely eating this up. As for pop, I think they have something else in store - maybe another duet with Khalid?

I get Ciara vibes definitely, though this song sounds like a combination of Halsey's "Now Or Never" + Ari's "nasty" to me as well

The visual is on point as usual, even "Motivation" was made 125401325x times better with that killer video.
The song is a total bore.

I can see the song growing on me, but it’s weaker than Waves and Motivation. The hook isn’t strong enough. Nevertheless, I’m hoping for the best.

I will slip it into a few playlists of mine and see what happens. Still want her to get a big hit on her own tho (or as a lead, seeing as Cardi is here too. But a Cardi feature is not that special these days in terms of boosting a song).

Cardi B's verse kind of ruins the vibe in my opinion, but not enough that I won't come back to this. Normani delivered both on the song and with the visual. The scene with Cardi is already iconic. As a regular enjoyer of r&b music I'm pleased with this but I'm sure we'll hear the pop girlies complain in 3... 2... 1... Lol when I saw all the complaints about it, I assumed I'd like it and I wasn't wrong. I really like this. I agree that Cardi's switchup changes the vibe in not the best of ways, but it'll grow on me from where it is now as well. Now whether she has the team to work this to all formats it can appeal to in the best way given how they've handled her so far, that's a different question. But this is a good track. Video is nothing but flames.

Seeing her flourish being a soloist has been a nice trip. Been with her since xfactor so just seeing accomplishments being made is enough for me

I am so proud of my daughter. Her visuals are spot on as always!
I like the song and I am GLAD she sampled my favorite Aaliyah song.
Glad it is R&B as well!
Will have to keep listening to it to get Cardi's part though...seemed too short.

This is a serve, I don't know what some of you are on. The music video is FIRE as well. She really brought it. They need to get the music video version on streaming services.
It should be huge on Rhythmic, Urban & Urban R&B and will hopefully do decently on Pop.

I want a version that includes the bridge from the video AND the single version of Cardi’s verse where she sings the first half of the final chorus. She changes up the lyrics a bit, too. The blending of their vocals is so smooth.

I do like the song, but I also echo the sentiments that it just isn't quite what I was hoping for, isn't that strong of a single, but damn is that one well done and iconic video.
I wasn't looking/wanting/hoping for a "Motivation" type song, so please spare me the claims of only wanting pop. I was actually hoping for something close to Chloe x Halle's "Do It" or JoJo's "What U Need," but instead we got one of the delegated non-single bonus tracks from either album. Good, but a questionable single choice and certainly not something that warrants a long wait for. I'll still add it to my playlists and whatnot, but I would be lying if I said I didn't think the song was a tad lackluster.
Also, count me in as one of the people begging for the video version to be released on all services.

Gimme something in the vein of Saweeti’s Fast (Motion) or Cardi’s Up for single #2 and I’d be perched!

So… the song is perfectly fine. I’m only here to question why this is the hype single they ran with. Is this the strongest martial she has after 2 years? And if we took Cardi off, would we even see the same numbers?
I have the bar set high for Normani because she’s got the talent. I was really hoping for a multi genre smash hit. I don’t see this being it.
