Definitely hearing the Colbie Caillat / Sheryl Crow comparisons. That's not a bad thing.

This is fantastic. Love this way more than Green Light. Sorry it's not a dua lipa song for some people.

After a few listens, I'm still on the fence with this. I'll add it to my playlist in hopes of it growing on me.

It's really disappointing to see such a negative response to such a great, pretty summery song. I wasn't expecting nor wanting Green Light 2.0. Listening to this just makes my soul feel happy. It came right on time and I CANNOT wait for the album.

I don't know if the video is just supposed to be happy and summery or if it's some sort of cult storyline (to be explored within the album) but I'm definitely hoping for the latter :kii:

This is perfect for the 30s of HOT AC and make a splash on AC, which I assume is the dem she is shooting for. She’s now in her 40s, no?

This is perfect. The more I listen to it, the more I love it. Can you reach me? No! You can't! It's also a great song to harmonize with/riff off when it goes into the Solar Power section. Y'all tone-deaf heffas go croak along to something else.

It's okay. Not as exciting as "Green Light".

Melodrama might not have hit the heights of Pure Heroine(not many albums can) but it certainly wasn't a "sophomore slump". Still a fantastic album that electrified her fanbase and was nominated for a Grammy. (Even though Grammys are a sham)

Do not think it electrified her fan base, being a fan myself.
All other points very valid, have a great weekend.

Very good Spotify numbers.
I'm lowkey enjoying the vibe a bit more? The buildup to the last minute or so is really good. Is this... growing on me? Queen Lorde.

To me, this is a perfect lead single in the sense that it introduces a very clear vibe and ethos for the album to come... Like everyone's saying, Lorde's not someone who needs a #1 hit to start off a classic era.
People will be listening to 'Melodrama' long after the haters are dead.
