Didn’t expect this to be quite so boring to be honest. Both Dua and Calvin have done this style before and with far better results.

LOL. Of course, Young Thug was a writer. He isn't Drake. He writes his own raps. Meanwhile, I love seeing my girl Jessie Reyez collect more coins. I didn't know she wrote One Kiss until she threw a little shade during Coachella before playing it during her set. Looking forward to hearing this. Oooooooh shade? What did she say?! I know she worked on Promises, esp considering the fact that it’s her singing “tonight” in the hook

This sounds like a complete flop to me... which probably means it'll smash or something.
I just didn't care for anything about it. The hooks aren't that catchy and the production is mediocre. The tempo confuses me too. Like what am I supposed to do with this? I don't want to sing along and I certainly don't want to dance.

Love it. Feels very much in line with what we had on FWBv1.
Not sure it's a US hit. Europe will love it.

Mid. The actual beat doesn’t measure up to the epic intro and Dua is phoning it in. Maybe it’ll grow on me.

“I wanted to just make this again and really go for it and know that I can get these amazing artists on this music that no one else is going to give them,” Harris told Apple Music, while also teasing his next single with two legends. “I do not know how I pulled it off, or how we pulled it off… Not only has it got someone that, someone in a song where they shouldn’t be in this song, but they sound perfect for it.”

Eh this doesn’t come close to “Slide” and Dua sounds so uninspired on this. I’ll wait for the no rap club mixes.

That was the most uninspired anticipated single I’ve heard in quite a while. The both sound completely bored and uninterested.

yep, this is totally boring, although it seems that they wanted to ceate Slide magic with Duaś relaxed vocals and different rappers, but everypody feels so tired like they took some kind of Potion, but it is not working sadly.

There is something really off with the guitar in the mix. It sounds so jangly and harsh, like he recorded it on a hot mic in a tunnel or something. It's unbearable and keeps pulling me out of the song.
If it wasn't for that, it would be a cute little summery bop.

I like this. It’s got a laid back vibe and I think the hook could get stuck in my head. I don’t think it sounds like a smash but I’ll lightly bop to it for a couple of months.

Unperched. Also, I’m fine with Dua here if they had another artist to balance some of the lyrics and flow. I also really have no desire to hear YT rap about b***** and h*** at the moment. Not only does it feel out of place on this song, it feels borderline tone deaf.

The only good part of this song is when it's about to end.

This is very chill and I really like it. I too could do without Young Thug and his mouth full of marbles though.

This is great! Very smooth and low-key. Love Young Thug on it too. Wouldn't mind hearing it all summer tbh

I'm sure it will yield a couple stunners, but even as a massive fan of Adam's, I haven't been looking forward to Funk Wav Vol 2 nearly as much as everyone else. Volume 1 had some fine moments, but as whole many of the album tracks had weak hooks and at moments it was a little too mellow for me. With that said, this is pretty much on par with what I expected from this project, cute background music but nothing eventful.
The production sounds like a radio rip or something. As someone else mentioned, I can't figure it out but something is off. Hoping some remixes can elevate this and that perhaps it's just a grower.

Given how low-budget this sounds on Bose headphones and Atmos, I'm afraid to listen to it any other way. Everything sounds so muddy. Sounds TikTok friendly tho esp. the "Sprinkle with a little bit of sex" part. It's cute tho.

This song is ok. The production is very groovy and reminiscence of Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 which I was very 50/50 on. This reminds me of Slide which I didn’t really care for and I wish Calvin would’ve gotten a different rapper for this. Maybe it’ll grow on me over time but this works as a summer radio filler.
Still hoping there is a Feels type of bop on this album.

I enjoyed this. This sounds like something I would hear in a porno from the mid 70s. If that’s the vibe they’re going for, it works.

Didn’t like it at first but it grew on me. I think Dua carries this. Young Thug brings it down some and Dua comes back at the end to save it. I think the beat is a grower. Something is off about Young Thug on top of it.
