I like this. It's not ground-breaking, but its nice. I feel like he will become one of those acts that radio eats up even if the spotify numbers aren't huge.

I also feel like people arenβt really looking for Ed Sheeran anymore, but his songs will grow more naturally on streaming as more people hear it on the radio.

YES. I know I heard this song before.
This totally sounds like #2 smash from 1998, Jennifer Paigeβs βCrushβ.
Also, literal copy and paste for first five seconds from Paula Coleβs βWhere Have All The Cowboys Gone?β
Both work for me in my book.

Paula Cole was a field of her own with her This Fire album! Classic

I get a lot of "Cry For You" by September. That's the first song that popped into my mind when I first heard it.

That's a huge second day in airplay. One of the biggest second days I've ever seen. Did he have a weekend long deal or something?
Nice hold on Spotify. Only a 15% drop, up to #12. Maybe it'll be a grower? Still flabbergasted at how low it debuted.

Reductive, like his entire career. He went from being a Marvin Gaye tribute act (with uncredited samples) to The Weeknd.

Weeknd or no Weeknd, this song is still great. It's gonna stick around for a long time. I want it to hit #1 so bad, but I'll settle for Top 5. I feel like this song will keep surging as time goes on and not be frontloaded.

This is decent, but it's not particularly memorable and I don't feel like it goes anywhere. Some of the comparisons in here are more entertaining than the track itself. Early 2000s euro-dance? lol
Personally, I hear a far less catchy 2014 Robin Schulz song with light hints of that signature Imanbek sound sprinkled about in the background.

It's actually closer to Bieber, if we were gonna compare the song to other artists. Please point to a Weeknd track that sounds like this.

I don't have to prove anything to you. This is my opinion and I can state whenever I want.

You are allowed to state whatever you want, whether it's real or not. But just because you state whatever bullshit you want, it doesn't mean it's real. Get it? No Weeknd track sounds like this. That's the facts bro.

The visual aesthetic of the video and the lyrical themes of this song being similar to "Can't Feel My Face." The video is obviously Weeknd inspired, but the song itself is not. It doesn't sound like the dark R&B tracks he pioneered nor any of his pop hits like Blinding Lights, it's UK based techno that's been popular there for decades. Can't Feel My Face isn't exactly an original piece, the lyrical themes of that track (comparing an addiction to a person to drugs or bad habits) has been around since the days of classic rock.
