I like it.
Kinda weird hearing Bey on such a mainstream sounding track in 2022, but it's refreshing. For some reason, it's giving me Like A Prayer vibes. Maybe it's the choir? Sounds like something Europe will eat up.

4 things that I don't like about this record: (1) the lyrics don't make much sense; (2) the "Show Me Love" sample (? or inspired by it? whatever they call it) is not very imaginative; (3) I can absolutely do without Big Freedia here; (4) Queen sounds not her best, especially during the rap verse.
That said, it's an enjoyable tune, and it did get a bit better after 5 listens, so maybe it can grow on me just like "Run the World (Girls)".

The 1:40-2min mark with the “outside” breakdown and inflection is perfection. I can listen to that part alone on repeat.

I don't LOVE it... yet. Can see it growing on me. It's a fun direction for her, but this is the one time I think they could have tightened the song a bit and cut a minute or so.
I'm excited for the rest of the project.

I wasn't sure at first as it doesn't sound like in your face, usual big song. but after 2, 3.. I'm on. big freeda's part,all the harmonies and changes. 4:38 is good for me.

Queen B coming back for that coveted pop hit. We love to hear it.

I like it! Reminds me of Why Don’t You Love Me (which i love) but with a 90s sample and beat. I like her lower register and she sounds good but I wish she’d have sung it a key or 2 higher, just more ear candy.
Also one of the few songs in recent years that I think could benefit from being a little shorter but I’m sure I’ll love it when I hear it out anywhere 😅

This is it! Also, does part of the second verse remind anyone else of Cardi?

Lol @ this TikTok lab-ass song. These lyrics…
But it’s fun and I’ll surely be jamming to it all summer. Excited for the sonic direction for the album.

The chorus feel bit a repetitive at times. and the song itself doesn't feel like it has such a massive presence like her other lead singles. It's decent, but I'm liking this new era from her.

Not feeling this, but it's not bad. Just can't get into it.
I do think she catered to the pop audience, so I see this being a decent sized hit.

Wow, this sounds really dated, what happened to her voice? She is no match to the new pop queen Kate Bush...

This is the best pop girl lead single since Work. Phenomenal song, wow. She really eviscerated with this. No idea what it will do on radio though

Just leaving this here for those who don't venture to the non-singles section. :kii: I'm sure it'll get serviced to Rhythmic/Urban/R&B soon enough.

It's a nice song but not as in your face as I wanted it to be. She sounds just like Rihanna in the pre-chorus.

I like it, I don’t love it. It’s not bad, and at the very least it’s not some cacophonous bull shit like she’d been serving for years now, so thumbs up on that. Plus, it’s incredibly catchy in all its repetitiveness of the “you won’t break my soul” hook; I had it stuck in my head after just one listen. Also, the beat reminds me of that Katy Perry song from her last era, pre-corona.

I've already flung myself down stairs. I have rebuilt the staircase. This song is background music at best. It's not Dance-y enough, it's not 'high octane' it's just *there*. Big Freeda (dark queen diva) is the best thing about it. GRADE: C.
