Um, yeah, so I finally got to hear this. At first I wasn't quite sold on it, but by the end...
This may be my favorite song she's done post-WWAFAWDWG

I would rate all her singles this era including EIW with 10, except the chart topper TIA, so this is going to be an amazing album!

This really is a very interesting song all around and I feel that I might like this song more and more with every listen. I'm not sure if this song is going be able to perform better then her previous Singles did, Maybe if the Callout Scores are very good for this then perhaps this could become her biggest hit on Pop radio since "Therefore I Am".

It takes a second to get there, but the chorus is great. I just wish the rest of the song had that energy.

I find my relationship with Billie’s music fo be difficult. Sometimes I find it just hits me in the guts in the best way and other times some of her songs feel like sloth with no chorus.
But this…is for me the best thing she has done. That chorus is phenomenal. That video is phenomenal.
Well done

Falls to #18 on US Spotify. If this doesn't stabilize it won't make it anywhere near Top 10.

I ended up purchasing this. There's parts of it I really like and other's I don't know what's going on. lol Does this board not like "Therefore I Am"???? I really liked it. It's my favorite by her or equal to "Bad Guy" for me.... However I'm not really that much of a fan of her's. (not being shady her music just isn't my thing)

What a slump she's in. Her team must be in a panic. Pop music cycle is fast.

Billie Eilish's music, especially the second album singles, is the most original creation by musician last 20-30 years, that has entered the pop charts top 40. I mean, it is really difficult to imagine this kind of music being played in top 40. I mean have these artists ever had even a chance charting pop countdowns - Cat Power, Sufjan Stevens, Elliott Smith, Joanna Newsom, These New Puritans etc. I mean she is in this proud category of pure musicians to enter top 40 with Fiona Apple, Suzanne Vega, Toad The Wet Sprocket(yes they were that good), Sarah Mclachlan, Björk(made top 60).

I would not go as far as to categorize her with most of those artists.

I would not go as far as to categorize her with most of those artists. NDA is musically totally out there, it is as they call it absolutely indie sounding. For any other pop artists, this kind of song would end their pop career automatically. NDA is not only one of the best charting "pop" song of the year, it is actually one of the best among all songs released this year.

Best charting? Is it doing something on Spotify now?
Let’s not put her in the category of musicians that play instruments (edit: I guess she plays ukulele and piano?) and have made a change to the music landscape. I also wouldn’t call Billies music in any way legendary. Because really, I don’t see anyone trying to emulate her or her music stylings. She has great songs, but nothing I’d call a greatest of all time song(s). I think it’s great she does her own thing and sticks to it, and that pop us embraced her in some way (same happened for Lorde), but I’d definitely love to see growth from her.
Ps - glad we have someone to tell us how unoriginal and talentless one artist is, while the other is talented, unique, and original. 🤦🏼♂️

This is probably one of my favorite releases from her (post EP) but I don't see it doing well very well on either Pop/Alt. The song sounds like it doesn't fit in any of these categories. bad guy, albeit similar in style to this song, was way more catchy in my opinion

"bad guy" was just iconic and memorable from the start. This is good but not quite there. That does leave plenty of room for it to succeed on it's own merit though, because BG was iconic and huge but this could be a solid top 10 hit for her.

I like this, but my favorite moments from her are the more rhythmic ones like the verses from this and TIA rather than her doing something more focused on melody.

People need to relax. Billie’s music is pretty far removed from regular radio fare. She will sell absolutely bucketloads of albums.
