Sounds good but too much like damage control. I can see it being a decent hit, but not something that puts her back on the path she was walking before the self-sabotage she committed.

Woah I was not expecting this at all. Easily her best single in a while.

This is exactly what I was waiting for from Billie. This is amazing!

The song gives me “Free” by Broods vibes. yes! that's what I thought! this is easily the best song on Happier Than Ever so far. after "Lost Cause" I thought her sophomore record was a lost cause but this song makes me marginally more excited. don't like the music video at all, though, so visually she's 0 for 5 this era. |

anyone know if this is getting an hourly airplay deal on iHeart? Likely not as the adds date was pushed back to next week to avoid Post Malone, who definitely is getting an hourly deal and going for adds this week. |

Damn that chorus!
Agreed with everyone on here saying it's her best song in a while
This will definitely fare better than her recent output and could become a decently sized hit for her

I like it a lot on first listen. But a radio hit it is not. Still, the album should sell like hot cakes regardless, so probably not a big deal.

It's nice. I will say it sounds more accessible than her last few singles, but still not "radio friendly."

I think she’s too “one trick pony” and her schtick is already up.

Finally some energy. It's not quite what I think she needs but it's a step in the right direction.

anyone know if this is getting an hourly airplay deal on iHeart? Post Malone, and Justin Bieber also released new songs, not sure who gets the hourly deal? Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber definitely have an hourly deal, not sure about the others though. |

It's a little slow (even though I'm not one of the people that hated "My Future" or "Your Power"), but I do kind of like it. The ending is GENIUS though given it leads into "Therefore I Am" on the album. It flows so well!

Easily her best single since bad guy imo, the dark edge glitch pop production and effects on her vocals are top notch.
Reminds me bury a friend + the switch up at the end of bad guy

I loved this instantly the second this song started. I’m glad because like everyone else, I was kinda getting worried.

It’s alright, nothing to get excited about.
Oh Billie, it’s been swell. But Olivia surely is here to take over.

It's really good, and very cinematic. I got Travis Scott's "The Plan" vibes from the TENET soundtrack.

I'd rather Billie be an original, talented, artistic act than an overrated mediocre one tbh. She's way better than her fellow born-in-the-2000s peers, so she has my support.

I like this.
I did like the other songs she released in the last few months but this one was a lot more instant for me.

I find this lacking in melody compared to the two previous singles. It sounds like something pop critics will praise though.

Oh this is good. I liked "Lost Cause" too but this is just on another level.
I think she should probably break up with her brother too, but I love this sound and she's the only one willing to do it so I'm all for her keeping him for now, as long is it's on par with this. This is the closest thing we'll get to Bloodshy & Avant in the 2020s.

Spotify debut:
WW: #14 3.7mln
USA: #5 1.1mln
The decline is real but i guess this isn't a total bad debut.

BILLIE EILISH NDA 308 spins 75 stations What did it have for audience? It's not top 50, so we don't have that information. Thanks to the Spincrease list on AllAccess we know it got 308 spins across all stations, but that's about it. |
