I like it!
I think it'll go Top 10 on the Hot 100 and on Pop easily.

Plus, the album pre-order is coming with the single which should boost interest in it. Fr? Where’d you hear this? Does the LP have a title? Olivia Rodrigo - *O*R with 11 tracks out on 05/21

I’m getting some major Lorde vibes again, but I can’t quiet pinpoint the exact song. I just came to say the exact same thing.

This is good, starts off slow but for sure it’s a grower. The hook is stuck in my head

I'm afraid this is a tad too out of the GP's comfort zone to be a #1 smash, but then again Lil Nas X is aiming for #1 so honestly who knows at this point?
It's a lovely song though, she's such an exciting artist!

Eeh.. I'm naming the elephant in the room She said this was completely different to drivers license but.. It's not lol It's about the love triangle again and has the same structure again, it is not too upbeat to be drastically different from drivers license, that's a bit disappointing BUT I do really like this song anyways and think it'll be big for her The first verse is beautiful, I love the melody and her delivery is gorgeous There are also some great production choices in this from the drums kicking in for the 2nd verse to the instrumental parts
Edit: also the girl in the video has a striking resemblance to Sabrina, I mean wow

I like the song, but it's definitely not that different from her first single, I was looking forward to an actual upbeat song. Like some big pop production or something, but instead we got a more lively version of drivers license.
Again, I like the song and it'll probably do pretty well commercially however I'm just a bit disappointed we didn't get something a little more unique for her follow-up.

Song grew on me as it went along for sure. Agree that she needs to move on from this whole love triangle thing though. But I do understand making your second single somewhat similar to your first before moving on to something totally different.

I'm REALLY loving this. I'm gonna add to the echo chamber and say I agree 113% ( ;) ) on the Lorde meets Cruel Summer vibes.
Stoked for this album and I wonder how this will fare compared to DL.

I mean, I think going with something similar to DL after it being the monster it is, is the right call. People responded amazing to that sound, so why change it for the second single? She's still not established as an artist. I'm expecting (or I hope at least) she branches out with the third single.

Yup, it’s very much in the vein of “Team” as the follow-up to “Royals.” If she had release something markedly different then I’d be like, “what is this album even going to be?” Now she can switch it up with song #3 without it being disorienting anyway, I love this song.

This is a bit out there honestly - but I really appreciate it. I think this is less obviously pop-friendly than Drivers License (the instrumental sounds could definitely throw some casual listeners off), but we're at the age in time where songs like this are more mainstream so I'm hoping it works out for her. That bridge is *so* Cruel Summer lol, almost the same tone with the screaming too! But who can complain when Cruel Summer is still that good.

I remember Lips Are Movin by Meghan Trainor sounds very similar to ABTB and still did well on the charts. It's sometimes good for new artists to release a song that has a familiar sound with their big first hit.

I don't think I've ever been to one, but I imagine this is what I would hear if I walked into an Anthropologie. This is peak basic becky mediocrity.

I don't think it's that great, either. She sounds too much like Lorde.

I don't like this one bit. They way she's singing is like nails on a chalkboard. The hook is clunky. The production is... somehow too sparse and muddled at the same time and I don't even know how that's possible. The one thing is has going for it are the cute, relatable Fearless-esque lyrics, but that's not enough to save this for me.
I also just cannot see this being a bit hit. It'll do well out of the gate for sure, but I sense this being too polarizing for general audiences. It might sneak into the top ten here on pop before dipping based on hype alone, but I wouldn't be surprised if this quickly makes the top 20, stalls, bounced around for a month or two, then dies out.
Oddly enough, though, I could see this working on AAA. Not like a smash or anything, but... I think her team should consider it.

totally agree with this not being much different to ‘drivers license’ or being upbeat as stated lmao that was a complete crock of shit but I do really enjoy it
it also seems like this is not instantly the runaway #1 hit some were expecting it to be, as within 24 hours I’m not sure it’s gone number one anywhere yet unless I’m wrong? she is very talented so I do hope this is another success for her and I really love the Filipino representation she brings and I think it’s needed in mainstream pop music.

I can hear a bit of Alan Walker's "Faded" in the first few seconds.

Halfway through I was thinking she'd be stuck in one-hit wonderland but by the end I was hooked. This is quirky but has some potential imo.

pretty annoying, she might be one hit wonder in the end A bit too early Or perhaps late actually. This will easily become her 3rd Hot 100 hit and most likely 2nd top 10/20 hit.

Tbh a simple top 10 directly following the first smash won't make the One hit wonder term go away (people applied it to Lil Nas X in spite of "Panini" until his latest song blew up, and you'll find people who apply it to Carly Rae and Lorde in spite of "One Time" and "Team" existing).
I really like this but I do get that vibe that it's gonna peak around #8 quickly and go away. I hope she has the follow-up ready for album release. Or that this song proves me wrong and lasts on the charts.

This song kind of reaffirms how overrated Cruel Summer is.
