Leaving us next is not only our most polarizing song, it is also our first MULTI #1 loss!!! LBTrocks and austin are in the same boat of misery with this one. "bragger" started out in first place thanks to austin being the first one to submit a list, but very quickly fell from there to be a last place contender It ended up being a pretty consistent #11 contender, which is where it finished. This one has an infectious swagger about it, but to me it also kinda gets lost in the shuffle a bit with how many great songs are on this album.

Why do I continue to subject myself to these dumpster fire jamborees? After seeing this travesty of a bottom 3, I'm about ready to turn in my tractor keys.

Lol literally half of the songs on this album sound pretty much the same and are in the same style but "bragger" is the one song that stands out as sounding different from the rest of the pack but go off, lol.

As much as I love that song it's not nearly as bold or distinctive of a song as "bragger" is, especially in comparison with the rest of the album, and if you disagree you can fight me!

"a country song" is last place like it deserves and very glad to see "the other girl" out early too. "bragger" is a jam though so idk what some of y'all were doing with that

"Bragger" is so annoying. I've tried to enjoy it and I do think it is one of those songs that could grow on me but it might not. I don't know because as of right now I'd be okay if I never heard it again

Wow, there really are quite a few extremes in the rankings and there does seem to be somewhat of a trend amongst the songs that a certain group liked/disliked.

"The Way I Used To" started out as our very consistent #6 contender, but ended up losing its footing as we got deeper into the rankdown. This one has an interesting hook, which is what I like about it. Melodically it kinda gets lost in the shuffle on this album though (like LBTrocks said, a lot of the songs sound similar sonically), so I am alright seeing it out now.

This was another instance where I found the ballerini version of "the way i used to" miles better than the original.

Having a singular noteworthy aspect does not automatically make a song a standout to somebody who noticed said singular noteworthy aspect.

dear god this is a disaster. "the way I used to" is a jam! So catchy and fun. Can't believe the subpar songs like "overshare" and "love and hate" beat it...

Is this an April fools day rankdown? My word.
Bragger bottom 3?! It’s maybe my favorite thing in her catalog sans Peter Pan!

This is peak flop behavior. "bragger" is this album's "Miss Me More". It's a jam through and through.

MESS! "the other girl" and "the way I used to" are really nice listens.
rooting for "overshare" and "hole in the bottle"! those probably would have been my top two.

Disappointed at Bragger (c'mon, it's a jam!), but happy about other reveals so far.
I adore everything about Kelsea, and this is very rare moment I make a negative comment about her. The Other Girl is an abomination and glad it left. Super boring, awful single choice, and Halsey made it worse.

I apologize for putting the interesting songs near the top. I didn't realise this rankdown was a celebration of blandness.

Ew! I can't even imagine thinking "bragger" is a jam and then putting "the way i used to" in the bottom 2. I didn't expect "the way i used to" to finish near the top but I certainly expected it to finish above "love me like a girl", "overshare" and "love and hate".
"the way i used to" is soooo smartly done (the casual whoops, I mean the way I used to) a not so subtle way of showing she still thinks of him/loves him. Easy to connect with if you've been through a breakup and its a freakin' bop!
