An excellent bop. Maybe the haters may like it more if they listen in 1.25x speed on Youtube

Ugh, shes been missing the mark for a bit. This is just another one.
Sheβs so rad, why canβt she find rad music?

Itβs weird to think that she was once at the top of the game, a trendsetter and part of one of the biggest bands of the late 90s. I listened to this last week and wondered how it got made and released - but I also feel like what catches on and goes viral can be incredibly hit or miss and maybe they were banking on something quick and silly. Sometimes it works. I wouldnβt say itβs wise for a longtime established act with a legacy in the balance to attempt though. I was a huge ND fan but I havenβt taken Gwen seriously since the last ND album.

time for her to start the "graceful" part of "growing old gracefully"...let's have more material like "Early Winter"...sure, that sound won't necessarily appeal to today's teens, but her fanbase would eat it up
stop embarrassing yourself Gwen

The song isn't even bad, both this and Reintroduce Myself are actually quite fun and very Gwen so I don't understand the dramatics

Bad isn't the right word, just disappointing I think. If it had better lyrics it would be a fun Gwen single, like Wind It Up or Hollaback Girl, but the lyrics are just so terrible - much like Start The Fire that followed Baby Don't Lie.
Clearly, the original members of No Doubt are in different places musically, so a reunion is probably out for a while, but the guys made much better music with the DREAMCAR project than Gwen has given since the TIWTTFL era ended.

The last ND album wasn't good either. I'm not really rooting for a comeback unless it's gonna be a really good project.

I disagree. Push and Shove is up to their standards, it just didn't have a lot of singles once "Looking Hot" got canned for the insensitive video. There are several songs I still use. I think their debut is the only one I don't go back to very much, but Tragic Kingdom, Return of Saturn, Rock Steady, and Push and Shove (and LAMB - Sweet Escape and TIWTTFL have some filler) are all ace.

I don't think Saweetie can work her magic on this, but let's see.

^Unless it's some sort of JLo Murder Remix where it's an entire different song, no, not likely.

I actually like this. It's more on brand than "Let Me Reintroduce Myself." Surprised to see the overwhemingly negative reviews over here.

What a terrible song, sns. The hook is atrocious.
Love Saweetie, but nope.

Ok the video is really fun and Saweetie improves this mess by miles. They both look out of this world too, jeez.
Still not totally sold on this but... this is an improvement.

The music video makes me like the song more. Anyway not sure what the plan is for this song.

They should try Pop and Rhythmic with this. I feel like it might become a surprise moderate hit.
edit: Cute video too!
